It was a project introduced in the year 1986 to reduce the increasing pollution levels in the river Ganga.The former prime minister of India,Rajeev Gandhi launched a programme named Ganga action plan in order to reduce the pollution of River Ganga.
Objectives for the plan;
1)Rehabilitation of soft shelled turtles which may be used for the purpose of pollution abatement of the river.
2)Control of pollution such as waste from agricultural,human defecation,throwing of unburnt & half burnt bodies into the river.
3)Treatment of the domestic sewage,industrial sewage,industrial waste,toxic chemicals,& pollutants discharge into the river.
4)To improve the water quality of river Ganga.
Millions of people bathe in river Ganga because of its holy aspect which may leads to its pollution.

Can u ans 1 more question
ok
It is of physics
ok
please ask its my pleasure to answer your question
Calculate the pressure exerted by a cubical box on the floor in 3 different ways. The dimensions of box are as follows Length 50 cm , Breadth 10 cm , Height 30 cm
Plz ans it
Area 1 = 50 * 30/100
Area 2 = 30 * 10/100
Area 3 = 50 * 10/100(For conversion to Metre)
Pressure 1 = Force/Area 1 = Force/15m²
Pressure 2 = Force/Area 2 = Force/3m²
Pressure 3 = Force/Area 3 = Force/5m²
(replace "Force" with The amount of force given in question or by the weight in question )
Area 2 = 30 * 10/100
Area 3 = 50 * 10/100(For conversion to Metre)
Pressure 1 = Force/Area 1 = Force/15m²
Pressure 2 = Force/Area 2 = Force/3m²
Pressure 3 = Force/Area 3 = Force/5m²
(replace "Force" with The amount of force given in question or by the weight in question )
I m just in 6th so ans it in my level
Let the weight of the box = W Newtons
Pressure = Force/Area
The pressure exerted by the cubical box depends on its surface which is in contact with the surface
Case 1
Side 50cm and 10cm in contact with surface
Pressure = W/(0.5 x 0.1) = 20W N/m²
Case 2
Side 50cm and 30cm in contact with surface
Pressure = W/(0.5 x 0.3) = 6.67W N/m²
Case 3
Side 30cm and 10cm in contact with surface
Pressure = W/(0.3 x 0.1) = 33.33W N/m²
Pressure = Force/Area

GANGA ACTION PLAN
The Ganga action plan was, launched by Shri Rajeev Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India on 14 Jan. 1986 with the main objective of pollution abatement, to improve the water quality by Interception, Diversion and treatment of domestic sewage and present toxic and industrial chemical wastes from identified grossly polluting units entering in to the river. The other objectives of the Ganga Action Plan are as under.
Control of non-point pollution from agricultural run off, human defecation, cattle wallowing and throwing of unburnt and half burnt bodies into the river.
Research and Development to conserve the biotic, diversity of the river to augment its productivity.
New technology of sewage treatment like Up-flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) and sewage treatment through afforestation has been successfully developed.
Rehabilitation of soft-shelled turtles for pollution abatement of river have been demonstrated and found useful.
Resource recovery options like production of methane for energy generation and use of aquaculture for revenue generation have been demonstrated.
To act as trend setter for taking up similar action plans in other grossly polluted stretches in other rivers.
The ultimate objective of the GAP is to have an approach of integrated river basin management considering the various dynamic inter-actions between abiotic and biotic eco-system.
Notwithstanding some delay in the completion of the first phase of GAP it has generated considerable interest and set the scene for evolving a national approach towards replicating this program for the other polluted rivers of the country. The Government of India proposed to extend this model with suitable modifications to the national level through a National River Action Plan (NRAP). The NRAP mainly draws upon the lessons learnt and the experience gained from the GAP besides seeking the views of the State Governments and the other concerned Departments/Agencies.
Under NRCP scheme the CPCB had conducted river basin studies and had identified 19 gross polluted stretches and 14 less polluted stretches along 19 rivers, which include 11 stretches situated along 7 rivers of M.P.
