In a major step towards its cleanliness drive, the Ministry of Water Resource on Friday launched an exclusive web portal on the river Ganga. The purpose of this launch is to connect with public on the ambitious Ganga rejuvenation project of the National Democratic Alliance or NDA Government. Speaking on the occasion, Union Minister for Water Resource, Uma Bharti said that the website was an important tool to connect the public with the gigantic task of Ganga rejuvenation. The website (nmcg.nic.in) gives details of Namami Gange, an Integrated Ganga Conservation Mission, for which a sum of Rs. 100 crore has been allocated for development of ghats and beautification of river fronts at Kedarnath, Haridwar, Kanpur, Varanasi, Allahabad, Patna and Delhi in the current financial year.
