Nirmal Ganga Sahbhagita Programme
The Government has launched ‘Nirmal Ganga Sahbhagita’ a sustainable
initiative with Urban Local Bodies(ULBs) located on the banks of the
river Ganga for achieving the objective of Clean Ganga. The initiative
aims at sensitizing the ULBs about the pollution in river Ganga arising
primarily due to dumping of solid waste in the river/nallas and to
involve them in a long term engagement in stoppage of the solid waste
flow from nallas/drains to the river. Apart from this ULBs can perform
certain activities for achieving the shared objective of rejuvenating
the river Ganga. National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) intends to
enter in to a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the ULBs for
effective and fruitful engagement in this regard. The draft MoU is being
prepared and the broad objective of the partnership is to involve the
ULBs in the areas of solid waste management, installation and
maintenance of clarifiers/screens in the nallas/drains to support
primary treatment of waste water, maintaining ‘litter free zones’, 500m
along the river basin; engaging volunteer force and youth in ghat
cleaning & monitoring and conducting public outreach activities.
