Inclusion of recent data of census (2011), urbanisation and automobile pollution, new boxes and updated special environment calendar will further enhance its utility inducing environmental awareness. Introductory contribution of Shri Kailash Satyarthi, the recent Nobel Laureate for Peace (2014) is appropriately cited.
