In a significant step towards river conservation, the 61st Executive Committee Meeting of the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), chaired by Shri Rajeev Kumar Mital, Director-General, approved a series of impactful projects aimed at pollution abatement and ecological restoration of the Ganga and Yamuna rivers.

With a strong focus on sustainable water management and clean river systems, the committee sanctioned projects worth over Rs 9 billion, reinforcing India’s commitment to rejuvenating its sacred rivers and safeguarding their cultural and ecological heritage. These wide-ranging initiatives represent a holistic approach to river rejuvenation—merging infrastructure with ecology, tradition with innovation, and local engagement with international collaboration.

With these approvals, the NMCG accelerates its mission of transforming India’s rivers into vibrant, life-sustaining ecosystems, echoing the spirit of Namami Gange and setting a benchmark in global water stewardship.
