The National Clean Air Programme 2019 (NCAP 2019) addresses India’s air pollution problem systematically and systemically. Its 198 action points comprehensively encapsulate the recommended pathways of the programme. We present an ontological analysis of these action points and highlight the pathways they emphasize frequently, infrequently and overlook. Subsequently, we discuss the selectivity and segmentation of the pathways in the action points, the gaps in them and the potential gaps in the effectiveness of NCAP 2019. Last, we present recommendations to discover and design novel pathways to bridge the gaps and improve the effectiveness of the programme.
