Correct option is B
The correct answer is:(b) By stopping open defecation on river banks
Explanation:
The Namami Gange Programme is a flagship initiative by the Government of India aimed at rejuvenating and conserving the Ganga River. Public participation plays
a crucial role in ensuring its success, and stopping open defecation on river banks directly contributes to improving water quality and reducing pollution levels.
Launched in 2014, with an allocation of ₹20,000 crores.
Aims to rejuvenate the Ganga and its tributaries by tackling issues like pollution, deforestation, and waste management.
Information Booster:
- The Swachh Bharat Mission, linked with this program, has promoted the construction of toilets and encouraged behavioral changes in sanitation practices.
- Adding mosquito-larvae-eating fish in the river: This might help control mosquito populations locally but has no direct link to reducing Ganga pollution under Namami Gange.
- Major Components:
- Sewage treatment infrastructure.
- River surface cleaning.
- Afforestation and biodiversity conservation.
