In a statement Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India LLP said it focused on building skills to deliver technology-driven growth. It also announced completion of a pilot project to help address the issue of stubble burning in North India. "Deloitte in India has hired close to 50,000 professionals over the last three years," the statement said. In 2022, Deloitte India successfully ran a pilot project in Haryana, resulting in a 69 per cent reduction in farm fire or stubble burning events.
