(e) if so, the details thereof and if not, the reasons therefor; and

(f)  the  details  and  current  status  of  the  projects  going  on  in  Saharanpur  district,  Uttar  Pradesh  under  the Namami Gange programme, project-wise?

## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI

## ( SHRI RAJ BHUSHAN CHOUDHARY )

(a) The  water  quality  of  river  Ganga  is  being  monitored  by  Central  Pollution Control Board (CPCB) in 5 main  stem  States  through  concerned  State  Pollution  Control  Boards  (SPCBs)  namely  Uttarakhand,  Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal.

State-wise  data  range  of  Physical  parameters  and  Organic  parameter,  included  in  notified  primary water  quality  criteria  for  bathing  water  by  CPCB  is  enclosed  in Annexure-I .  State-wise  data  relating  to Inorganic parameters and Heavy Metals from 2017 to 2024 is enclosed in Annexure-II .

(b) Under the Namami Gange Programme, a total of 349 numbers of projects have been sanctioned for the rejuvenation of the river Ganga and its tributaries since January 2017 and 268 projects have been completed during this period enclosed in Annexure-III.

(c) The details of the project-wise allocated budget and expenditure are enclosed in Annexure-IV .

(d) & (e) The Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI) was engaged as Third Party Agency (TPA) for appraisal  of  Namami  Gange  Mission  (NGM).  ASCI  observed  in  its  report  that  the  NGM  has  led  to considerable addition to wastewater treatment infrastructure in Ganga river basin balanced with investments in river  front  and  Ghat  development,  river  surface  cleaning  processes,  afforestation,  biodiversity,  organic

agriculture  etc.  Capacity  building  of  implementing  agencies  and  other  stakeholders  along  with  community engagement to support the initiatives are the other key contributions of the projects. The decentralization and mainstreaming of program tasks within the basin states and local body establishments have been the hallmark of the program. ASCI in its appraisal stated that, NGM has shown good progress in achievement of its mandate of  continuous  flow  (Aviral  Dhara)  and  unpolluted  flow  (Nirmal  Dhara).  It  has  demonstrated  successful  and replicable models for implementing a large-scale river rejuvenation program on a mission mode and gained global recognition.

Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has carried out water quality monitoring of river Ganga. As per the report, the PRSs on river Ganga based on the assessment carried out in 2022 (2019 & 2021 data), are as under:

- a. Uttarakhand does not fall under polluted stretch (BOD <3mg/l);
- b. In  Uttar  Pradesh,  Farrukhabad  to  Allahabad  &  Mirzapur  to  Ghazipur  in  Priority  Class  V (BOD 3-6 mg/l);
- c. In Bihar, along Buxar, Patna, Fatwah and Bhagalpur Priority Class IV (BOD 6-10 mg/l);
- d. Jharkhand does not fall under polluted stretch (BOD <3mg/l);
- e. In West Bengal, Behrampur to Haldia Priority Class IV (BOD 6-10 mg/l).

Further,  the  value  of  Dissolved  Oxygen  which  is  an  indicator  of  river  health  has  been  found  to  be within  acceptable  limits  of  notified  primary  bathing  water  quality  criteria  and  satisfactory  to  support  the ecosystem of river for almost entire stretch of river Ganga.

## (f) In  Saharanpur  district  of  Uttar  Pradesh,  NMCG  has  considered  following  two  sewage  infrastructure projects:

|   Sl.No. | Town       | Name of the project                                             |   Sanctioned cost (Rs. in crore) |   Capacity (in MLD) | Status     |
|----------|------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------|---------------------|------------|
|        1 | Saharanpur | Interception & Diversion (I&D) and Sewage Treatment Plant works |                           577.23 |                 135 | Sanctioned |
|        2 | Deoband,   | I&D and STP works                                               |                           134.71 |                  20 | Sanctioned |
