The Ganga is a lifeline for millions. Learn how pollution affects it and what you can do.
The Namami Gange project is a flagship initiative launched by the Government of India in
2014 to clean and rejuvenate the Ganga River. This ambitious program, with a budget of ₹20,000 crore,
aims to reduce pollution, conserve biodiversity, and promote sustainable river management.
Key components of the project include the construction of sewage treatment plants, river surface cleaning,
afforestation, and rural sanitation initiatives to curb direct waste discharge into the river.
The initiative also focuses on public awareness and community participation to ensure long-term success.
Through these efforts, Namami Gange seeks to restore the sacred river's ecological health
while preserving its cultural and economic significance.
