The Government of India’s National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) under the Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation has issued a call for proposals for NGOs, government bodies, academic institutions in India and abroad to partner for the ‘Normal Ganga Bhagidaari’ – the ‘Join us in Cleaning Ganga’ campaign.
Pollution in River Ganga is mainly on two accounts: nallahs/drains carrying municipal and/or industrial effluents into the River Ganga and river surface pollution such as pious refuse, solid waste, disposal of dead bodies, etc. The focus of National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) so far has been on creation of treatment capacities (Sewage Treatment Plants) and related infrastructure for abatement of pollution caused by domestic/industrial sewage.
Now, NMCG intends to expand its footprint to tackle river surface pollution and other areas. The projects are expected to start from June, 2015.
The proposals submitted by organizations should include the budget and timelines required for completion. Documentary proof with respect to legal status, registration details including FCRA status, financial status, performance, and relevant experience shall be enclosed along with the proposal. A committee comprising representatives from relevant government departments will scrutinize all eligible entries. Projects
recommended by the Committee will be proposed to prospective donors/investors/CSR funding/philanthropic donations by Overseas Indians as the case may be. The proposals will be considered on a rolling basis throughout the year.
