Ganga Cleanup

In Bithoor, a small group of volunteers, Ganga Rakshaks, are cleaning the River Ganga. Their work shows how tough it is to clean the river without strong public support or government help.

Between 2018 and 2022, there was a 30 per cent increase in the polluted river stretches in Namami Gange-focused states. Among the five states, only West Bengal has shown improvement in the reduction of contaminated rivers.
