Your Phone, Your Planet: How MPCB’s New App Empowers Citizens in the Clean Maharashtra Campaign

By Siddhesh Kadam 

In a world driven by smartphones, change is just a tap away.

Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) is harnessing that very power with its new citizen-centric digital initiative, the Maha-Paryavaran App (also known as e-Catalyst).

Designed to make environmental protection more participatory and transparent, this mobile application is the next big step in the Clean Maharashtra campaign. 


Under the leadership of Siddhesh Kadam, Chairman, Maharashtra Pollution Control Board, the app bridges the gap between citizens and the state’s environmental machinery making it easier than ever to report, respond, and resolve ecological concerns in real-time.

The Maha-Paryavaran App transforms every citizen’s phone into a tool for environmental action. Available for Android and iOS users, the app allows people to:

  • Report environmental violations instantly from illegal dumping and industrial emissions to water contamination and noise pollution. 

  • Upload photos, videos, and location details for on-ground accuracy. 

  • Track complaint progress through a transparent dashboard. 

  • Receive updates and feedback directly from MPCB officers, creating a genuine two-way communication channel.


This digitization ensures that environmental awareness in Maharashtra doesn’t just stay on posters, it becomes actionable. Every report filed brings the state a step closer to the vision of a Sustainable and Clean Maharashtra.


Two-Way Communication, Real-Time Impact.

The most revolutionary aspect of this initiative lies in its citizen–authority interaction model. Traditionally, reporting environmental violations involves lengthy paperwork and follow-ups. Now, with real-time communication features, the Maha-Paryavaran App ensures that every complaint receives timely attention and action. 


Citizens are notified about progress, while MPCB officers can access ground-level insights faster, improving both response time and accountability. This system not only promotes transparency but also strengthens public trust in governance. 

 

Empowering the Public to Protect Their Planet.


The launch of this app under the Clean Maharashtra campaign signifies a major leap towards participatory environmental governance.


It embodies Chairman Siddhesh Kadam’s vision that environmental protection is not just the responsibility of the government but a shared mission between citizens, industries, and policymakers. 


By democratizing environmental monitoring, the MPCB has effectively turned awareness into action and concern into contribution. Whether it’s a college student reporting a polluted river or a resident flagging illegal plastic use, every tap makes a difference.

Conclusion: The Future of a Clean Maharashtra Is in Our Hands

The Maha-Paryavaran App is more than a mobile platform it’s a movement towards collective responsibility. 

It puts the power of change directly in citizens’ hands and builds a stronger partnership between the people and the policymakers driving Maharashtra’s sustainable future. 


In the words of Siddhesh Kadam, “Every citizen is a stakeholder in Maharashtra’s environment. This app ensures that their voices are heard, valued, and acted upon.” 


So, the next time you spot an environmental concern, remember, your phone isn’t just for calls and clicks; it’s your direct connection to a Cleaner, Greener Maharashtra.
