In this System Shapers episode of Get Set Green,

We sit down with Hardik Siroha, Assistant Environmental Engineer and Sub-Regional Officer at the Haryana State Pollution Control Board, to talk about what it really means to work at the front lines of environmental governance.

When we discuss climate action, we often think about global commitments or breakthrough technologies. But a major part of protecting our environment happens through institutions that monitor pollution, regulate industries, and enforce environmental laws every single day. Hardik shares a fascinating look into how these systems function in practice.

In our conversation, we explore:

1. What the day-to-day work of a pollution control board looks like and how industries are monitored ?
2. How environmental engineers translate policies and regulations into real-world action ?
3. The importance of environmental law in strengthening accountability and compliance.
4. The role of the National Green Tribunal in addressing environmental violations and shaping enforcement.
5. The challenges regulators face while balancing development and environmental protection.

What stood out to me during this conversation was how professionals within public institutions are quietly shaping the systems that protect our air, water, and ecosystems. Through his role as a Sub-Regional Officer, Hardik’s work shows how strong governance, technical expertise, and legal frameworks together drive meaningful environmental impact.

Tune in as we unpack how engineering, policy, and environmental law intersect to turn regulations into real change on the ground.
