Arth Ganga (JMVP-Il)  has been conceptualised  to energize socio-economicdevelopment along the banks of National Waterway-1 including river Hooghly. Project  implementation  under JMVP-ll  may play  a vital role in improving the livelihoods of communities  living along the river with an aim to integrate  people's participation  and economic development  with Ganga rejuvenation.  This programme under JMVP-Il will provide simple logistics  solutions for small farmers, fishery units, unorganized farm producing  units, horticulturists, florists and artisans to reach the nearest  market  place, which would steer a massive economic revolution in the region generating substantial employment.

Sub-Projects  status under JMVP-Il is as under:

- . Development of Community  Jetties (HDPE, Steel & concrete)  on NW- 1 Cluster -  I (Uttar Pradesh)
