- Clean Ganga Fund
Establishment of the 'Clean Ganga Fund' The River Ganges, with her tributaries, has been a life-sustaining force and a source of physical and spiritual connect in India for millennia. Currently the river is in a state of degradation in several stretches. The situation warrants vigorous and urgent intervention for restoring the lost glory of the Ganga. The Government of India has taken many initiatives to rejuvenate this river. However, given the immense scale of this task it will be impossible to achieve this objective without the participation and support of people from all walks of life. Lately, a large number of people, in India and abroad, have evinced keen interest in resurrecting the bygone glory of the river Ganga. In order to harness this valuable resource, the Government of India has recently established the “Clean Ganga Fund ( CGF)” in which Resident Indians / Institutions / Corporations, NRIs and PIOs are eligible to contribute by means of donations, adoption of ghats, pilo…Published On: July 21, 2017
