The basin covers an area of 1,086,000 sq km, extending over India, Nepal, Bangladesh and China. About 79% area of Ganga basin lies in India covering 11 states viz., Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh (UP), Madhya Pradesh (MP), Rajasthan, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh (HP), Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Bihar, West Bengal and Delhi. It is a widespread belief that river Ganga, has the ability to purify all that cames into contact with it. On the contrary, no river can sustain its self- purifying power with the kind of over-use, misuse and abuse of its waters, as is the case with river Ganga. 9 Namami Gange amami Gange Programme’, is an Integrated Conservation Mission of Government of India. This ambitious programme was approved as ‘Flagship Programme’ by the ‘NUnion Cabinet on 13th May, 2015 with 100 percent Central share and budget outlay of Rs. 20,000 Cr. with the aim to attain the twin objectives of- effective abatement of pollution, conservation and rejuvenation of the revered River Ganga and all its tributaries under one umbrella. Namami Gange programme, accentuated on 7 thrust areas viz. pollution abatement, river front development, conservation of bio-diversity, river development, capacity building, research and monitoring and spreading awareness along with 21 action points comprising interventions of determining and maintaining environmental-flow, upgradation and management of sewerage treatment plants, Ghat repair, rural sanitation, industrial pollution abatement, development of Ganga-Grams, development of Ghats, creation and modernization of Crematoria, river-front development, afforestation etc. with distinctive emphasis on communication and public outreach activities to clean and rejuvenate river Ganga. 10 COMPONENTS OF NAMAMI GANGE PROGRAMME The implementation of the Namami Gange program has been divided into 3 Levels- Short-Term Activities (for immediate visible impact) : • River surface cleaning • Modernization, renovation of Ghats and Crematoria edium-Term Activities (to be implemented within 5 years of Mtime frame for quantum improvement in river water quality)- • Municipal sewage management • Biodiversity conservation • Afforestation • Ganga Gram • Industrial effluent management • Water quality monitoring • Rural sanitation ong-Term Activities (to be implemented within 10 years for Lensuring adequate flow of water)- • Adequate water flow • Improved efficiency of surface irrigation • Increased water-use effciency 11 NMCG About NMCG - registered as a Society under Societies Act, 1861 and now vested with status of Authority under section 3 of the Environment Protection Act (EPA), 1986. Mandate - to take-up measures and interventions for pollution abatement, sustaining ecological flow and for rejuvenation of Ganga river basin system. NMCG empowered under section 5 of the EPA, 1986 to issue directions for compliance of the environmental standards prescribed by CPCB/ MoEF&CC or NMCG for pollution abatement in the Ganga basin. State Project Management Groups (SPMG) Roles and responsibilities of SPMG • Overall state level planning and management of river Ganga basin. • Liaising with NMCG, State Ganga Committees and District Ganga Committees for effective implementation of various State level activities and interventions. • Timely release of funds to Executing Agencies and monitoring of physical & financial progress of projects. • Capacity building of Executing Agencies. • Community participation and outreach activities. • Compliance of Quality Assurance of capital investment projects. 12 Seven Thrust Areas of NMCG Aviral Dhara Conservation of Biodiversity Awareness Creation Nirmal Dhara Capacity Building Swachh Kinara Research and Monitoring 13 Pollution Abatement Through Enhancing the Wastewater Treatment Capacity Uttarakhand - Total 30 works with project cost of Rs. 1010.72 crores, aimed at creating 155.45 MLD STP capacity have been taken up, out of which 13 works have been completed. Uttar Pradesh - 25 projects at an estimated cost of Rs. 4033 crore, in 13 towns aimed at creating 503.50 MLD of sewage treatment capacity have been taken-up. Out of 25 projects, 4 projects have been completed and 119 MLD sewage treatment capacity has been created. Bihar - 19 projects at an estimated cost of Rs. 4105.97 crore aimed at creating 526 MLD of STP capacity, have been sanctioned by NMCG. Out of the 19 projects, 8 are under progress while 8 are under bidding. Jharkhand - Sewerage infrastructure projects are approved for two towns i.e Sahibganj and Rajmahal which will create new STP capacity of 15.5 MLD and approximately 89.21 km of sewerage network will be laid at an estimated cost of Rs. 149.6 crore. West Bengal - 9 sewerage infrastructure projects are approved to create new STP capacity of 223.63 MLD and approximately 952.25 km of sewerage network at an estimated cost of Rs. 1805.40 crore. Out of this, 1 project has been completed creating 8.23 MLD STP capacity. 14 Cleaner Ghats Caring Surroundings For a better River-Human interface, Swachh Kinara initiative of NMCG envisages various activities including development of river front; providing clean Ghats; changing rooms facilities; community toilets; crematoria and efficient solid-liquid waste management along the Ghats.

Ghats 119 455 Crematoria 53 180 15 Trash Skimmer: Surface Cleaning of Ganga Basin Trash skimmers have been deployed to collect all kinds of floating waste materials in the river which are unhealthy for the river and make it look dirty. Apart from the trash skimmers, workers are also being deployed to collect waste material from the riverbank so that the entire area can be declared “litter free”. Floating waste is collected manually where apparently due to the lesser depth of water mechanical cleaning is not posible. Waste collected along the banks is disposed-off on daily basis. Certification/verification of services is recorded and monitored on daily basis by respective Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). The idea of river surface cleaning is to clean and collect trash off the Ganga & Yamuna river so that people can feel a visible difference in the cleanliness levels of the river waters. Trash skimmer machines and trash booms are deployed at eleven (11) cities including Haridwar, Allahabad and Varanasi etc. to arrest floating material and tackle river surface pollution. Trash Skimmer at Work 16 Bioremediation : In-Situ Treatment of Drains On site treatment is simple, easy-to-operate and does not require major modification of the drain. Naturally occurring or activated microbial consortia/nutrient media is used in this treatment process to degrade sewage in flowing conditions without diverting the flow and no additional requirement of land or power is involved.

Water as one of the tatvas is symbolically associated with creation, dissolution, fertility and cleansing and is inherent in the larger Indian Cultural ethos. Ancient texts such as Narada Purana and others have laid out the construction techniques for water bodies and also their upkeep for the welfare of the community. The concept of Ekram kshetra, a city originating around temples and water tanks has also contributed to the vocabulary of ghats and step wells as an indigenous expression of man- water relationship in the Indian sub continent. The Indian landscape went through many transformations in the subsequesnt eras and regimes. The term Ghat came to be commonly used in many parts of Northern South Asia referring to a series of steps leading down to a body of water, this set of stairs could lead down to something as samll as a pond or as large as a major river. These were historically used for bathing, prayers, religious functions, cremations, recreation, community gatherings etc.
