Ganga (The Sacred River)
About this Mission
Vision & Significance
The Ganga is more than a river — she is a deity, a mother, and the spiritual artery of Indian civilisation. From Gangotri glacier to the Bay of Bengal, she sustains agriculture, fisheries, industry, and the spiritual lives of hundreds of millions. Yet she is severely polluted by sewage, industrial waste, and ritual debris.
Restoration Strategy:
- •Sewage Treatment: Advocating for 100% sewage treatment in all cities and towns along the Ganga to prevent untreated waste from entering the river.
- •Industrial Pollution Control: Demanding strict enforcement of pollution norms for industries discharging waste into the Ganga and its tributaries.
- •Ecological Flow: Ensuring minimum ecological flow at all points along the river to sustain aquatic life and maintain the river's self-purifying capacity.
- •Ghat and Cremation Reform: Promoting electric cremation, eco-friendly ritual practices, and ghat cleanliness to reduce pollution from religious activities.
Our Initiatives
Vishwa Guru Bharat serves Maa Ganga through clean-up campaigns, awareness drives, ghat cleaning, and advocacy for stronger pollution controls.
