Namami Gange

 ''Namami Gange'' is an integrated conservation mission under National Ganga River basin authority, the ministry of water resources and river development.The Union government is  pumping in an unprecedentedly huge amount to clean up the country’s holiest of rivers that emerges from the icy Gomukh almost bordering China and empties into the Sunderbans delta that spills over to Bangladesh.    The Ganga, which is ironically also the world’s fifth most polluted river, now floats on hopes of regaining by year 2020 its grandeur and sanctity . But there is much more to it than spirituality or even religiousness. ‘Namami Gange’ seeks to clear the river of all the dirt and row in a string of projects to sustain its efficacy.The three-tier mechanism will monitor the projects, with a high level task force chaired by the cabinet secretary.The Rs 20,000-crore outlay, which the Cabinet cleared at a meeting chaired by the Prime Minister  three months ago, is in addition to Rs 2,307 crore the government sanctioned in July last year at the launch of the endeavour.
