Use of fly ash for construction of rural roads has been approved and guidelines issued by IRC (IRC SP 20 : 2003 )
Revision of IS 3812 – the code for specifications of PFA for its use in Cement/ mortar/ concrete (part 1) & as fine aggregate (part 2) - approved & under print.
Specifications for other FA applications viz (i) lime pozzolana mixture applications, (ii) sintered applications, (iii) geotechnical and (iv) agricultural application are under preparation.
Updation of IS:456 – code of practice for plain andreinforced concrete has been updated with use of flyash.
Minimum and maximum percentages of flyash in PPC have been increased to 15% and 35% respectively etc.
Fly ash bricks standard ( IS 12894 ) has been updated.
The Protocol of Intentions between the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India and the Interregional Association "Siberian Accord" Siberian Federal District, Russian Federation on fly ash utilization and safe management is for implementation of the mechanism similar to “Fly Ash Mission – India” in the Siberian Federal District, to facilitate development and application of technologies for utilization and safe management of fly ash, including import of technologies from India.
C-FARM was established during June, 2007 to promote and undertake R&D for in-depth understanding and value addition to fly ash utilization as well as safe management and to develop technology delivery mechanisms, inter-alia, facilitation of large scale adaptation of fly ash technologies and capacity building.

CONCLUSIONFly Ash has been proved to be a useful material for many applications. Policy frame work and national strategy can make it possible to utilize all fly ashes in gainful manner. It would mitigate the environmental threat, generate employment and industrial wealth, conserve mineral resources, provide sustainable construction and agriculture including forestry and cleaner environment. It’s products including agriculture produce grown on fly ash with in safe limits.Thus, these may be used on large scale with no consequential impact on human health as well as the environment.
