The Central and State Governments for the last three decades have taken up various measures for pollution abatement in river Ganga and its tributaries and the Government of India has put in place an Integrated Ganga Conservation Mission named 'Namami Gange' with an outlay of 20,000 Crores.While the Government efforts continue in the right earnest, the herculean task of Ganga rejuvenation requires participation of one and all and at various levels. A large number of individuals, Self-Help groups and even Corporate entities in the past have associated themselves with various interventions on Ganga and its bank either offering shram daan for cleaning the banks and Ghats or for construction of Ghats, Crematoria and providing other amenities on and around Ganga. As such, participating in 'Namami Gange' activities provides a unique opportunity to Corporates for associating themselves with the national cause of rejuvenation of river Ganga.
