Swachh Ganga Abhiyan A Campaign to Control Ganga Pollution

The official name of the Clean Ganga Project is the Integrated Ganga Rejuvenation Mission Project or Namami Gange . This is basically the dream mission of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Even before becoming the Prime Minister, Modi had given a lot of support for cleaning the Ganga. He had promised that if he comes to power, he will start this project as soon as possible. As promised, he started this project in a few months as soon as he became the Prime Minister. This project also started giving them benefits. Evidence of this was seen in his visit to America where he was congratulated by the Clinton family for starting the project. The project came into the news when the RSS decided to oversee it as well as various tax benefit investment schemes announced by the government.Clean Ganga Nidhi Fund constituted to ensure public participation in the cleanliness and aviralta of river Ganga An amount of Rs 453 crore has been received in the last six years in. Rajeev Ranjan Mishra, Director General, National Mission for Clean Ganga NMCG , said, “Up to March 2021, an amount of Rs 453 crore has been deposited in the Clean Ganga Fund and many major projects are being run through it.”Similarly, saving the Ganga has also been on top of Modi governments agenda. Way back in the mid 1980s, the government launched the first leg of Ganga Action Plan GAP , embarking on a mission to clean up Indias holiest but one of the most polluted river.But three decades and thousands of crores later, the rivers water quality has gone from bad to worse. The Modi government in May last year came up with a Namami Ganga project worth Rs 20,000 crore. The project looks at having floating debris collected and cleaned off the river surface in 10 cities to bring about a visible change.
