Campaign against “Noise Pollution” starts on 15 August’2010 with Noise Awareness
Movement of India
The main aim of the campaign is to take us all towards a quieter and more civilized
nation.
It is an awareness campaign, which will continue on regular basis and in first phase,
we will try to provide the vehicle owners the knowledge about “Noise Pollution”
which is not good for human, animal & plant life. The campaign is also meant
to change driving habits in the country.
The message is simple. Our country is becoming dangerously noisy as the largest
source of noise pollution, vehicle traffic, is growing up rapidly.
Noise Pollution influences social behavior and cognitive development besides affecting
our health and quality of life.
We invite every citizen of India to join the campaign and say “NO” to honking. On
a personal level, we all need to take acoustic responsibility. Let us dedicate ourselves
to combat this urban blight.
Noise pollution is a public health issue that is adversely affecting the lives of
million of people throughout the country. It is unwanted human-created sound that
has the effect of being distracting, annoying, painful and physically harmful. Human
being continuously exposed to noise pollution experience mood swings, hypertension,
depression, hearing loss, elevated stress levels, lost sleep and productivity. In
children, noise pollution results in slowed learning.
Please, join us to celebrate India Noise Awareness Day on 17th December’2011 with
the supporters acknowledging & quitting Honking.
Together, we can, and we will, make INDIA NOISE POLLUTION FREE.
This portal is a platform for the change we need to initiate. You are invited to
write your experiences, suggestions, research and recommendations here, which will
be published with your name.

It is a good beginning towards a right cause. Let us stop blowing horns and relax in silence. |
