Related relevant literature was reviewed. It has been identified that a total number of 28445 research publications were published during the above cited period. It is identified that 160 research institutions of India were responsible for placing India in the 3 rd place for publishing 1551 publications and also to highlight the h-index gained by the top 15 institutions. Further, the analysis revealed the wise country publications with ranking and the share of India towards research publications with citations along with the type of documents. The impact of relative research effort analyzed through Publication Efficiency Index. The funding agencies are requested to allocate more funds to do many more research on Pollution Control for the betterment of the society.

Summary
The waste products from over consumption, heating, agriculture, mining, manufacturing, transportation and other human activities, whether they accumulate or disperse, will degrade the environment [1]. Many of pollution control and environmental laws were enacted in the early 1970s to protect public health and welfare. Within India, Maharashtra state was the front runner to enact Water Pollution and Control Act in 1962. This was followed by passing of Comprehensive environmental Protection Bill for prevention of air pollution in 1983. If there is no proper strategy for pollution control, the waste products emanate from consumption, heating, agriculture, mining, manufacturing, transportation and other activities of the society will degrade the environment. In the present study analysis in the field of pollution control related research publications contributed in the SCOPUS database from 2003 to
