Answer 1

I am river Ganga and I am writing my autobiography.As a river I am known to all of you. I was generated from the Himalayas – thousands of years ago. It is said in mythological story that I was born inside the hollow cavity of Lord Shiva’s matted hair.Since the date of my birth I am always in motion. The current that flows in my upper course is very strong and here I jump very high up my natural level. My middle course begins from Hardwar. My body remains very much extended and I maintain a slow motion when I am in the plains. Before I mingle into the sea I pass though many fields and gardens, villages and towns.Large towns and cities have been built on my banks. A few among them are being used as the main centers for education and culture, also trade and commerce. Many holy towns are situated on my banks and thousands of people come here to pay homage to their deities in days of holy festivals. Hundred of pilgrims bathe in my holy water in great devotion. I am worshipped by thousands of people as they regard me as their deity. Boats, steamers, ships and many other water carriages ply along my body.In time of rainy season my body wells and I overflow the banks causing flood. I am so much ancient that even I myself do not know my actual age. I am the witness of many people to be born in this world and depart from there. But I am immortal.

Answer 2

Heyyy friend here is your answer✌✌》》

India has a number of rivers. The Ganga is one of them. It is a Himalayan river. It is generally snow-fed and flows throughout the year. It has two main headwaters in the Himalayas: the Bhagirathi and the Alakananda, the former rising from the Gangotri glacier at Gomukh and the latter from a glacier short of the Alkapuri glacier. Other Himalayan rivers are the Yamuna, Ghagra, Gomti, Gandak and Kosi. The Yamuna rises in the Yamunotri glacier and joins the Ganga at Allahabad.


The Ganga is a holy river. It is the symbol of India’s spiritual heritage. It represents the 5,000-year-old civilisation of India. It signifies the synthesis of different religions, races and castes. It sustains nearly one-third of the country’s population. The water of the Ganga is believed to contain miraculous properties of purifying the soul and healing the body. It is preserved for a long time.

Though the Ganga is regarded as a holy river, it is not free from pollution. As many as 27 large cities and 300 industrial units let their untreated wastes into the Ganga. Since a large number of pilgrims bathe in the Ganga and use its water for drinking purposes, they become prone to water-borne diseases like cholera, typhoid, jaundice, etc.

Therefore, the Government of India has drawn up an ambitious Plan of Action to cleanse the holy river Ganga of its pollution. This project was launched by late Mr. Rajiv Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, on the banks of the Ganga in Varanasi. The people of Varanasi are emotionally attached to the Ganga.

In fact, work on this Project was started at Hardwar. There was a perceptible change in the colour of the Ganga after it was cleaned. After this project is implemented in full, the Ganga River all along its course upto Kolkata is expected to turn pure.

For executing this project, a separate authority, called, “The Central Ganga Authority” has been set up. The Authority has hired consultants at two levels. The Thames Authority of the United Kingdom will look after the paining, and Indian consultants will be responsible for monitoring its implementation. The Indian consultants are evolving a comprehensive information system for monitoring the project.

The Ganga Action Plan for cleansing the river is a step in the right direction-

Though funds for this project will be provided by the Central Government, its implementation will be the responsibility of the respective States. The States will implement the different segments of the plan from Rishikesh and Hardwar to Patna and Kolkata. The States have embarked on installation of sewage and effluent treatment plants at selected spots.

The Ganga, which is virtually synonymous with Indian civilisation, is dying. Pollution, over-extraction of water, emaciated tributaries and climatic changes are killing the mighty river, on whose fecund plains live one in 12 people of this planet.

Apart from Ganga, Indus, Nile and Yangze are among the 10 most endangered rivers of the world. The Ganga basin makes up almost a third of India’s land area and its rich soil is home to millions of people. However, indiscriminate extraction of water with modern tube wells from the river as well as its basin, coupled with the damming of its tributaries for irrigation, has seriously reduced its flow. Climate change has added to the threat.
