Clean Ganga
India is a land of rivers. India would be a desert without these rivers. India has both perennial as well as seasonal rivers. Indian rivers are the lifeline for all life forms in the country. They not only are the backbone of Indian agriculture, but also the backbone of Indian economy. They supply uninterrupted power to millions of large scale and small scale industries. They run the nation.
The Ganges is the most significant river in India. Its beauty is ineffable at Gangotri and throughout the Himalayas. On its banks are situated most pious pilgrimages where millions of people visit every year. The scenic beauty of the Ganges has made it famous all across the world. At Rishikesh its beauty culminates. As soon as it enters plains, flows through cities, towns, and villages, people use it as dumping channel as a result of which it looks like a colossal sewage channel.
Big cities such as Allahabad, Kanpur, Varanasi and Patna located on its banks dump millions of tons of liquid and solid waste into it in the form of toxic effluents into it.
Though Indian Government has launched many projects to reclaim the beauty and purity of river through programmes such as Clean Ganga Mission, the desired objectives have not been achieved. The basic cause underlying the pollution of the river is the people’s indifference. People along with the Government must shoulder the responsibility of maintaining cleanliness in the river.
People and Government must ensure there is no pollution of rivers by dumping any waste such as, sewage, effluents, and other toxic substances. Setting up of effluents treatment plants at industrial, garbage, and sewage units is a must to make Ganges clean! Only by being the proactive stewards of this rare life-supporting element can we preserve and conserve it.
