उत्तर
The Ganga is the largest river in India with an extraordinary religious ‘ importance for Hindus. Situated along its banks are some of the world’s oldest inhabited cities like Varanasi and Patna. It provides water to about 40% of India’s population across 11 states, serving an estimated population of 500 million people or more, which is larger than any other river in the world.
A number of initiatives have been undertaken to clean the river but failed to deliver desired results. After getting elected, India’s Prime minister Narendra Modi affirmed to work for cleaning the river and controlling pollution. Subsequently, Namami Ganga project was announced by the Government in July 2014 budget. An estimated Rs 2,958 crores have been spent till July 2016 in various efforts to clean up the river.
