Purpose: Usage of technology is not new in agriculture, it has also increased the agricultural efficiency in terms of higher yield, less time, energy & money saving, but a gigantic challenge has been emerged globally i.e. air pollution due to CRB (Crop residue burning). Contaminated molecule of CRB expands in the air and degrades the air quality. In India Polluted air quality has become a burgeoning issue in metro cities, Delhi is the capital of India and one of the most polluted city (ranked in top five polluted cities in the world, Jakarta post, November 4, 2017). Design/Methodology/approach: Field study has been adopted for this research, personal observation method has been used to collect the information from three agriculture dominated districts (Bathinda, Mansa and Sangrur) of Punjab state. In this paper researcher has done a cost-benefit analysis for farmers if they use baler (agriculture implement) rather than burning the crop. Various villagers and farmers have been surveyed for collecting the information about the practices which are followed by farmers starting from harvesting of crop to managing the crop residue. Findings: In north India, Punjab is ranked first in rice production. Punjab is also ahead in CRB and spreading air pollution. The most affected areas are cities of Haryana state, Punjab state, Delhi (Capital of India) and nearby region. In this paper we have calculated the cost of baling the residue of rice (rather than burning), and found that balling is a profitable affaire and can decrease the level of pollution also. Practical Implication: State and centre government can take action for the awareness of farmers and push them for the usage of baler for managing the crop residue. Also usage of crop residue as raw material should increase in industries. Originality/Value: This research has been done to contribute towards novelty by safe guarding the precious environment for the future generation and reduce the number of diseases caused by air pollution.
