Namami Gange Project - first impact by October

Namami Gange Project will show its first impact by October, as said Uma Bharti. 

The government had launched more than 300 projects along the banks of Ganga on Thursday under the Namami Gange program to clean and protect the 2,500 km long river.

She said the river is getting polluted due to waste waters minting from industries and sewerage of cities.

The government had launched more than 300 projects along the banks of Ganga, ranging from construction and modernisation of ghats to afforestation of river banks, on Thursday under the Namami Gange program to clean and protect the 2,500 km long river. The government has lined up 1,000 projects in different states including Delhi, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal as part of the National Mission for Clean Ganga.

In May 2015, the Centre had approved the Namami Gange programme with an outlay of Rs 20,000 crores for five years.

As part of the program, the government plans to beautify and modernise hundreds of ghats and crematoriums along the river bank.
