CAMPAIGN TO CLEAN THE GANGA RIVER
The Ganga is the largest river in India, and serves an estimated population of over 500 million people across 11 states, more than any other river in the world. The Ganges river basin is one of the most fertile and populated in the world, and is situated along the banks of someone of the oldest inhabited cities ever known, including Patna and Varanasi.
The Ganga is vitally important to India. Apart from its significant religious value to millions of people, it provides water to 40% of India’s population. It is also one of the most polluted rivers anywhere, adversely affected by human and industrial waste. Concentrated conservation efforts since 1986 have largely failed to keep the Ganga clean, its biodiversity protected, and the people who depend on it the most healthy.
2014 elections
In 2014, as India participated in the largest election the world has ever seen, environmentalists who have advocated for a clean Ganga for decades got the opportunity to make this an election issue. Jhatkaa, in collaboration with the Sankat Mochan Foundation, followed the trail of political candidates to Varanasi, including the two Prime Ministerial candidates, Arvind Kejriwal and Narendra Modi.
