✔✌Cleaning and Rejuvenating 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 mainstay 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, passes through cities, towns, and villages, people use it as dumping channel as a result of which it assumes the form of 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 attitude. 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. T Installation 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.

Hello mate !
More than 38,000 million litres of waste water enters the major rivers, water bodies and even percolates into the ground every day
A Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) report of 2015 brought out the fact that 61,948 million litres of urban sewage is generated on a daily basis in India. But the cities have an installed sewage treatment capacity of only 38 per cent of this. In reality more than this amount goes untreated into the rivers or water bodies as the treatment capacity of major sewage treatment plants (STPs) in the country is around 66 per cent of the installed capacity as per CPCB findings of 2013. As a result, more than 38,000 million litres of waste water goes into the major rivers, water bodies and even percolates into the ground every day. Over and above this there is industrial effluent. The data on the raw sewage from rural areas is not available.
In April 2015, CPCB issued directions to all the state pollution control boards/pollution control committees in the country for setting up of STPs in their respective states so that untreated sewage does not enter the rivers. The same directions were also issued by CPCB to all 69 municipal authorities of metropolitan towns and capital cities in October 2015.
