In reply to prashant sharma. 43 lakhs? That's a total shocker! No wonder where all the money goes. This is disappointing. The same money could have used for solving a few issues. Thank you Prasahant for passing on this information.

As Narendra Modi Govt took over the reins of free India a few months
back, Integrated Ganga Conservation Mission called ‘Namami Gange’ was
announced by the BJP-led government with much fan fare with an initial
sum of Rs 2,037 crore allocated in the Union Budget for 2014-15. Let us
be aware, the issue of purification of Ganga Maa is very close to the
heart of Shri Narendra Modi and I truly appreciate it.

An RTI query has some shocking revelations about a meeting held by
National Mission for Clean Ganga at Vigyan Bhawan in Delhi. Whopping sum
of Rs 43.85 Lacs has been spent on just the aforesaid meeting!

The money spent on the meetings and accommodation of guests coming for
the meeting was approximately Rs 26.7 Lacs, and on publicity it was Rs
5.1 Lacs.

The biggest shocker is the amount spent by the government on floral
decorations equaling Rs 75000! Rs 2.3 Lacs were spent on miscellaneous
expenses.

In reply to Kokila Gupta.

Long time :)
That’s true Kokila. It’s a highly beneficial river. So sad to look at its position today.
I and Vinay are doing good and we hope the same from you :)

Hi Vidyashree, You have written an appropriate post and I can only pray to God to let this mighty and beautiful river become clean once again.. Its so vast and beautiful and is the lifeline of India… For pure agricultural and beneficial reasons if not for religious and sentimental reasons, just make it clean.
PS – Thanks for your love at my place :)Hope you and Vinay are fine Will catch up soon :)

In reply to Alok Vats. I have heard about Ganga water purity and how well it stays in a closed container. Sad to know its impure to such an extent at certain parts that it scares the life of animals and people.

Honestly Vidyashree, even today if you preserve a bottle of the water of Gange, and you can see that it is fine even after a few months as well. It is indeed true that river Gange is being the source of life for many families, and it should be preserved…
