Build a Multi-Stakeholder Platform - Bring together kiln owners, workers, regulators, and civil society on a shared platform to reduce mistrust and enable collaborative, evidence-based dialogue for sector reform.
Develop a Just and Clean Transition Action Plan - Formulate a state-level action plan integrating environmental standards with social accountability, ensuring cleaner technology adoption doesn't come at the cost of worker welfare.
Accelerate Clean Technology and Fuel Adoption - Simplify access to and understanding of cleaner technologies (e.g., zig-zag kilns) and alternative fuels, addressing the technical and informational gaps currently limiting adoption.
Ensure a Just Transition for Workers - Secure worker access to education, healthcare, housing, and social security schemes, alongside reskilling opportunities, so that the workforce can transition alongside, not be displaced by, new technologies.
Enable Financial Support for Kiln Owners - Facilitate access to formal finance and incentive mechanisms for kiln owners, reducing the cost barrier to technological upgrades and regulatory compliance.
Engage the Public Through Arts and Culture - Use cultural and creative mediums to build broader public awareness and shift the dominant narrative from pollution/closure toward the sector's economic and employment significance.
Deliver Direct, Local Benefits from the Transition - Ensure that technological change in the brick kiln sector translates into tangible, direct benefits for local communities, not just industry or environmental outcomes.
