From North to South and East to West, each and every Indian must have been or wished to have seen/visit the Holy Ganges. With so much of overwhelming regard & reverence, it often pains me whenever I visit the river. With so much of public money spent already and huge plans by successive state & central governments, why we are regularly failing to achieve the goal of Swachch Ganges & Nirmal Ganges?
The only reason strikes my mind is,"We the People". We as the people of India have not yet decided to act towards this common goal. In a country of over 1.3 billions people, it's impossible for any govt howsoever mighty to achieve this herculean task.
The Ganges flows for close to 2000 kms and directly affects the livelihood of over 25-30 crore of people and indirectly affects another 30 crore. Half of the Indian economy is driven /affected by the Ganges.
So its only incumbent upon us the people of India to preserve this gift of heavens!
