Introduction
The Ganga rises in the Himalayas from the Gangotri Glacier, some 4100 meters above the sea level.
The Ganga Basin is the largest river basin in India.
It caters to about 40% population of India and traverses kms. from its source to the Bay of Bengal.
Ganga has been declared as the national river of India.
The Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA) has been set up for empowered planning, implementing and monitoring the river.
National Mission for Clean Ganga is Implementation wing of National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA).

3. Issues & Challenges The Ganga is polluted due to discharge of:
Issues & Challenges
The Ganga is polluted due to discharge of:
municipal sewage from large urban centres;
trade effluents from industries; and
polluting waste from several other discharges from non - point sources.
To improve the water quality of Ganga to acceptable standards;
Preventing the pollution load from reaching the river.

4. Namami Gange Programme-Salient features
“Namami Gange” is an Integrated Ganga Conservation Mission for Ganga rejuvenation, developments of Ghats and beautification of River Fronts.
Namami Gange approaches Ganga Rejuvenation by:
consolidating the existing ongoing efforts;
preparing a concrete action plan for future;
Interventions at Ghats and River fronts to facilitate better citizen connect; and
set the tone for river centric urban planning process.
Under the Namami Gange Programme, Government has approved a Hybrid Annuity based PPP model to reform the wastewater sector in India by ensuring performance, efficiency, viability and sustainability.

Focus on tackling the river surface pollution through innovative technologies such as installation of trash skimmer boats/ trash boom/ aerators (at the major Ghats of River Ganga). Donors/CSR funding option for this purpose being explored.
Innovative technologies being explored and to be funded through Clean Ganga Fund/CSR/Tax exemption
Plans being finalized to develop Jharkhand as a model State

Pre-feasibility studies (PFR) in identified 118 towns entrusted to 5 CPSUs PFR Status
61 condition assessment and pre-feasibility reports prepared & received
Based on the condition assessment studies, the projects will be developed and taken up for implementation on hybrid annuity based PPP model
Decision taken on giving “End to End Solution” activities to CPSU encompassing:
Pre feasibility studies
Transaction advisors
Limited Tender
Selection & engagement of suitable concessionaire
Construction supervision etc.
CPCB has monitored 51 STPs out of the 63 STPs located in the main stem of Ganga in the 4 states (Jharkhand does have STP in main stem). A total of 15 STP were found nonfunctional (13 out of 34 in West Bengal) during monitoring and 9 were not meeting the BOD norms (4 in UP, 3 in WB and 1 each in UK & Bihar). The utilization capacity of these STPs is about 602 MLD (60%) as against their installed capacity of 1009 MLD.
SPV to manage concessionaires in all major cities, Entire city/Bunch of cities to be offered as a package; also to appoint transaction advisors
Market development for sale of treated water and concept of user charges on “polluters pay” principle possible during concession period to result in long term sustainability of assets
Tripartite MoUs to be entered with ULBs and States for lease of assets to the concessionaires, user charge levy and resale of treated water
ULBs to introduce user charges in a phased manner and create framework regulation for market for treated water over a period of time
Revenue from treated water and user charges to be kept in a separate account, ULBs may get a share to promote sale, after government funding of annuity, the sale proceed along-with user charge should be able to meet the annuity requirement for long term sustainability.
Above approach developed after discussion with Cabinet Secretary, national & international experts and Chief Secretaries of States
Validated by World Bank and IFC, extra cost paid over a period of 15 years (NPV basis) with 30 % of capex as initial construction linked payment, is not appearing to be more than 10-15%
