Ganga Action Plan

 Ganga runs its course of over 2500 kms from Gangotri in
 the Himalayas to Ganga Sagar in the Bay of Bengal
 through 29 cities with population over 1,00,000 (�class-
 I cities�), 23 cities with population between 50,000 and
 1,00,000 (�class-II cities�), and about 48 towns. It is a
 river with which the people of India are attached
 spiritually and emotionally. Department of
 Environment, in December 1984, prepared an action
 plan for immediate reduction of pollution load on the
 river Ganga. The Cabinet approved the GAP (Ganga
 Action Plan)in April 1985 as a 100 per cent centrally
 sponsored scheme.
Ganga Action Plan

 To oversee the implementation of the GAP and to lay
down policies and programmes, Government of India
constituted the CGA (Central Ganga Authority)in
February 1985, renamed as the NRCA (National River
Conservation Authority)in September 1995, under the
chairmanship of the Prime Minister. The Government
also established the GPD (Ganga Project Directorate)in
June 1985 as a wing of Department of Environment, to
execute the projects under the guidance and supervision
of the CGA. The Government renamed the GPD as the
NRCD (National River Conservation Directorate)in June
1994.
Ganga Action Plan

 The GAP-I envisaged to intercept, divert and treat 882 mld (Million
   litres per day) out of 1340 mld of wastewater, generated in 25 class-
   I towns in 3 States of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal. The
   NRCD had scheduled the GAP-I for completion by March 1990, but
   extended it progressively up to March 2000. While the GAP-I was
   still in progress, the CGA decided in February 1991 to take up the
   GAP-II, covering the following pollution abatement works:
(a) On the tributaries of river Ganga, viz. Yamuna, Damodar and
   Gomati.
(b) In 25 class-I towns left out in Phase-I.
(c) In the other polluting towns along the river.
 The CCEA (Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs) approved the
   GAP-II in various stages during April 1993 to October 1996 (Annex
   I). The States of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Delhi and
   Haryana were to implement the GAP-II by treating 1912 mld of
   sewage. GAP-II is scheduled for completion by December 2001
