Introduction The river Ganges (commonly called as Ganga) located in the northern part of India is a sacred river of the nation and holds a high cultural esteem among the Hindu population of the country. The river has its origin in the Western Himalayan ranges of Uttarakhand. Bhagirathi which is the source stream of Ganga joins with Alakhnanda at Devprayag, Uttarakhand from where the river further flows as Ganga. The river covers a distance of 2525 km before flowing into the Bay of Bengal. The main stem of the river passes through five major states, namely, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal. In Uttar Pradesh, river Ganga travels approx. 1025 km and stretches from Bijnor to Ballia. Being a perennial river, Ganga and its tributaries are the main source of water for domestic as well as irrigation purposes for the North Indian states. The ever-increasing demand for development has resulted in water scarcity and water quality degradation throughout the basin. Nearly all of the sewage, rarely treated, from these settlements enter the basin’s waterways. In addition to these domestic and industrial pollutants, hundreds of human corpses are released into the river every day. Population pressures, paucity of investment in water quality infrastructure and a lack of empowerment of the people continue to contribute to the deteriorating state of this river. Along the entire stretch of river Ganga in Uttar Pradesh, various STPs, industrial as well as domestic drain discharge points are located that contribute towards degradation of the water quality of the river. Keeping in view of this alarming situation and the Kumbh Festival 2019 at Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, the Government of India and U.P. Jal Nigam engaged several private firms for the treatment of drains falling in the river Ganga and Yamuna in Uttar Pradesh. Under the Centre's Namami Gange project, a host of measures for sanitation as well as checking the flow of sewer drains into the Ganga were put in place. This was done to ensure that the water quality of river is maintained during the world’s biggest congregation of humans and the masses receive clean water. Various technologies, such as bioremediation, phytoremediation and modular treatment were used for the treatment of drains. To ensure that the water being treated is worthy of being discharged into the river and meets the water quality standards CSIR-IITR was entrusted the responsibility of third party inspection and monitoring of the treatment plants that were set up on untapped drains from Farrukhabad to Ballia districts.

The project and its objectives CSIR-Indian Institute of Toxicology Research, Lucknow, a constituent laboratory of Council of Scientific & Industrial Research, was established in 1965. It is the only institute of toxicology in the country contributing towards cutting-edge research and innovation in toxicology with the motto “Safety to Environment and Health & Service to Industry”. CSIR-IITR has GLP Compliance Certification from NGCMA, Government of India. CSIR-IITR undertakes research in niche areas of toxicology including studying the impact of industrial and environmental chemicals on human health and ecosystem, and environmental monitoring of pollutants in air, water and soil. CSIR–IITR has been assessed and accredited by National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) in accordance with the standard ISO/IEC 17025:2005 “General requirements for the competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories” for its NABL Certified Biological and Chemical testing facilities. The scope of accreditation involves biological testing of drinking water and surface and ground water. CSIR-IITR has expertise in conducting such water-related studies and several industry sponsored and government sponsored projects are being undertaken under this facility. CSIR-IITR was previously involved in the monitoring and in national programs for various rivers: Ganga River 1986-1991 Ganga Action Plan Yamuna River 1989-1990 Yamuna Biomonitoring Plan (Indo- Dutch collaborative project) Gomti River 1993-2013 Gomti Action Plan Ganga River 2014-2015 Namami Gange Program The present study involving the Third Party Inspection of various technologies implemented for the treatment of water from different drains discharging in Ganga River in Uttar Pradesh was sponsored by National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) through
