Allocation of Funds for Namami Gange Mission
Primary focus of Namami Gange Programme is on pollution abatement. The program envisages 100% central government funding for the entire life cycle cost of the treatment assets created which includes O & M cost as well. An amount of Rs. 2750 crore has been allotted for FY 2015-2016 which includes Rs. 100 crore for Ghat Works.
The State Project Management Group (SPMG) of the concerned state would monitor the work and report the progress to National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) which releases the grants at different stages of implementation of the project. A three-tier coordination and monitoring framework with a high level task force at central level, state level coordination committee and a district level project monitoring group oversees the implementation of these programmes.
The preparation of Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for all 118 priority towns is expected to be completed by 2016 and most of the pollution abatement measures are expected to be operational by 2019. Ministry of Defence has informed that they are currently working out the initial logistics to raise one battalion of Ganga Eco Task Force.

Interlinking of Manas, Sankosh, Teesta and Ganga Rivers
< Manas-Sankosh-Teesta-Ganga (MSTG) link is proposed under the Himalayan Component of national Perspective Plan (NPP). MSTG link canal envisages diversion of the surplus waters of Manas and Sankosh rivers with supplementation from the intermediate major streams for the benefit of augmenting the flows of Ganga at Farakka and further transfer to water short areas of Krishna, Pennar and Cauvery basins and providing irrigation facilities to the enroute command areas. The Pre Feasibility Report of the link has been prepared and sent to all concerned States for their comments. The Feasibility Report could not be prepared as the link canal is passing through the Manas-Tiger Reserve in Manas-Sankosh reach and Buxa Tiger Reserve and other forests in Sankosh-Teesta reaches. Considering practical difficulties for surveys and investigations in Manas-Sankosh and Sankosh-Teesta reaches, NWDA has carried out alternate studies avoiding reserved forest and preparation of feasibility report is under progress.

Pollution Free Ganga Central Pollution
Control Board (CPCB) has been keeping a vigilant eye on Industrial Units polluting river Ganga. CPCB, under the Pollution Inventorization Assessment and Surveillance Project (PIAS), has inventorised 764 Grossly Polluting Industries (GPIs) along the main stem of River Ganga. CPCB had issued directions to respective State Pollution Control Boards for directing the industrial units located in Ganga basin states for installation of continuous online effluent quality monitoring system before March 31, 2015 and later extended till June 30, 2015. So far, systems installed in 80 units have been connected to CPCB server for data transfer. Government will take suitable action as per law against Industries which are non-compliant.
The CPCB has issued directions under Section 5 of Environment Protection Act (EP Act) to 200 industries and directions under Section 18 (1) (b) of the Water (PCP) Act, 1974 to 178 industries. CPCB has issued closure directions to 64 units. Further, the Uttar Pradesh State Pollution Control Board has issued closure directions to 98 tanneries for operating without the consent of the Board on the directions of National Green Tribunal.
Cleaning of river Ganga was started under Ganga Action Plan (GAP) Phase-I. GAP-1 was launched as a centrally funded scheme in 1985 and later GAP Phase-II was initiated in 1993 with the objective of improving the water quality of river Ganga. Various pollution abatement schemes including interception & diversion of sewage and setting up of sewage treatment plants were taken up under the Plan. A total of 869 mld and 229 mld has been established under GAP-I and II respectively. The work of Ganga cleaning was continued under National Ganga River Basin Authority in 2009. The Union Budget 2014-15 has set up an Integrated Ganga Conservation Mission namely “Namami Gange”. The Cabinet approved the Namami Gange program on May 13, 2015 as a comprehensive approach to rejuvenate the river Ganga by inclusion of all tributaries under one umbrella at a total cost of Rs. 20,000 crore for 5 years. As of now 93 schemes including 82 investment projects in 55 towns along the river Ganga and Yamuna are under different stages of construction, out of which 26 projects have been completed.
