India wants to clean its rivers by 2030 but it may remain a distant dream if the authorities continue with business as usual. The target seems difficult as government’s own data reveals that the number of polluted stretches of rivers across the country has increased in the last few years and the ambitious plan to clean river Ganga is yet to yield concrete results. While outlining the government’s vision for 2030 in the interim budget 2019-2020 in the parliament in February 2019, Finance Minister Piyush Goyal said that “our rivers and water bodies are our life supporting assets.”
The Ganga River, known as the Ganges under British rule, is one of the most revered waterways in the world -- and also among the most polluted. Stretching from the Himalayan foothills to the Bay of Bengal, it provides water to nearly half a billion people, more than any other river in the world. Special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro reports from India on the latest efforts to clean the river.
