Clean Ganga: Sewage treatment projects worth Rs 1,902 crore okayed

The panel also approved a project to control pollution on the Ganga river in Rishikesh at an estimated cost of Rs 158 crore.

NEW DELHI: The executive committee of theNational Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) has approved 20 projects worth Rs 1,902 crore to develop sewage treatmentinfrastructure in various Ganga basin states, including Delhi.

In its meeting held on March 2, the panel sanctioned construction of a sewage treatment plant (STP) of 564 million litres daily (MLD) capacity in Delhi's Okhla at an estimated cost of Rs 665 crore.

It gave nod to two other projects for laying new sewage pipelines in Pitampura andKondli at an estimated cost of over Rs 100 crore, an official statement said.

Of the total projects, 13 will be developed inUttarakhand, where new STPs will be set up and the existing ones will be upgraded, at a cost of around Rs 415 crore.

The panel also approved a project to control pollution on the Ganga river in Rishikesh at an estimated cost of Rs 158 crore, it said. The committee has also envisaged construction of a new 26 MLD capacity STP at Lakkar Ghat.

Besides, four projects worth Rs 78 crore will be undertaken at Joshimath, Rudraprayag, Karnprayag and Kirti Nagar to control pollution in the Alakananda river, a tributary of the Ganga.

"All these projects will be fully funded by the Central government, including even the expenditure on their operations and maintenance," the Union Water Resources Ministry said.

The committee also gave nod to sewage infrastructure works worth Rs 335 crore in Bihar's Karmalichak and Rajmahal in Jharkhand. It also approved Rs 151 crore project to address the issue of pollution of Ganga in Varanasi.

Centre turns to ‘sewage-eating’ microbes to treat Ganga water at 54 new sites
NEW DELHI: As urgency grows to show results for its Clean Ganga mission, the Centre is turning to bacterial bioremediation techniques to cut down the time lag in commissioning of
sewage treatment plants (STP).

While STPs typically take two to three years to come up, large-scale application of bioremediation using 'sewage-eating microbes' quickens the process of improvement in the quality of river water, though only to an extent.

Under bioremediation technique, the activated microbes eat up contaminants such as oil and organic matter. The bacteria play a vital role in treatment of sewage without causing any release of foul odour. The process thus also reduces stench from raw sewage.

During the process of treatment, pollutants like heavy metals and toxic chemicals are reduced. The microbial dosing under the technique is done as per requirement assessed in terms of organic pollutants (microbial food) content in sewage.

Having successfully tested the technique at Bakarganj Nala in Patna, the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) authority has recently approved two more pilot projects - one each in Patna and Allahabad - and planned to scale it up further by identifying 54 drains across four states - Uttar Pradesh (30), West Bengal (20), Bihar (3) and Jharkhand (1) - where bioremediation techniques can be used to prevent polluted water from flowing directly into the Ganga.

Referring to the long gestation period of STPs, the NMCG in a note said, "Since during the intervening period, sewage continues to flow into river Ganga and its tributaries, there is a need to manage the pollution load by in-situ treatments through various innovative technologies available across the globe. In-situ treatment is simple and easy-to-operate and does not require major modification of the drain".


The NMCG added, "These (bioremediation techniques) are significantly less costly and require much shorter time duration of 6-8 months for commissioning and showing results. Implementing these techniques prevent degraded quality of water from flowing directly into river Ganga and its tributaries."


The cost of the NMCG's identified projects ranges from Rs 7 lakh to Rs 17 crore, depending on sewage flow into the drain.


"These low-cost projects will be implemented as part of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities of private/public companies. The NMCG has received several proposals related to in-situ bioremediation for drains and we are in the process of appraising it", said an official of water resources ministry.


Some of the drains identified by the NMCG for application of bioremediation techniques include Golaghat, Ranighat and Budhiyaghat drains in Kanpur; Sasurkhaderi and Mavaiya drains in Allahabad; Nagwa and Rajghat drains in Varanasi; Saklichand drain in Bhagalpur and Ramkrishna Mullick Ghat and Telkal Ghat drains in Howrah among others.

I fail to understand why incremental progress cannot be shown. Even considering the 3 year gestation period, we have hit 3 years haven't we?

Sometimes, we Indians dont seem to get the clarity on the matters.
but the foreigners do as nobody watches India at a microscopic level than these agents.
He tells something about Ganga clean up project in the last phase of this video.

This man Shut mouth of NDTV on PM Modi

Numbers are not shared on the media (even SM) for us to appreciate the work being done. All I get to know is that it is still work in progress and results are not to be seen yet.
Even the Namami gange site does not show any progress data I can follow.

its a huge mess which is created for decades.
May be the authorities are still making the basic requirements on the project and may be at some places they have gained some solid ground.

Theres a lot of news documentaries on youtube which shows a mix of feelings on the project, but on the overall feel there is progress being made.

Another issue is, if progress details are shared, we can expect some of the goons to thwart such progress for their 30 seconds of fame on NDTV and other media.(Being Dirty Indian,as some find it very proud to shout it out loud on the stage and mock the nation)

We know how projects which are aimed to bring reforms into the nation is being trashed by presstitutes and clowns in opposition who know zilch on economy just for their 30 seconds of fame.

So for time being, we may have to rely on news videos from time to time to have an understanding on the progress being made.

NEW DELHI: TheNational Mission for Clean Ganga(NMCG) - key central body which takes decision on the government’s ambitiousGangarejuvenation programme - has approved a number of projects worth nearly Rs 4,000 crore for various cities\towns of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal.

The projects, approved in the last executive committee meeting of the NMCG on Tuesday, include two big ones worth nearly Rs 1,600 crore for Kanpur city - origin of the most polluted stretch of Ganga in UP due to presence of hundreds of polluting tanneries which have been discharging untreated water into the river for years.

These projects are in addition to the total 187 projects - sanctioned under the ‘Namami Gange’ programme in past two years - for various activities such as treatment of municipal sewage, treatment of industrial effluent, river surface cleaning, rural sanitation, ghats & crematoria works, afforestation, biodiversity, awareness creation & public outreach. While 47 of these projects - mainly the smaller ones - have been completed, the works on remaining projects have been going on. The government expects all the works to be completed in nearly three years.

The Union water resources ministry had early this month told theParliamentthat the “cleaning of river is a continuous process. However, all efforts are being taken by the government to complete these projects by 2020.”

The projects for Kanpur, approved on Tuesday, include a 20 million litres per day (MLD) capacity of Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) for tannery cluster atJajmau. This three-phased project at an estimated cost of Rs 629 crore includes pre-treatment unit in 380 individual tanneries, a CETP with physical, biological and tertiary treatment and installation of Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)-based pilot plant of 200 kilo litres per day (KLD) capacity among other components.

“The central share of this project is Rs 472 crore. This is a major step forward in arresting the pollution in Ganga emanating from the crucial industrial town of Kanpur. The project will be executed by a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) – Jajmau Tannery Effluent Treatment Association”, said the water resources ministry in a statement issued on Thursday.

Another project in Kanpur was approved at an estimated cost of around Rs 967 crore for rehabilitation and integration of sewage treatment infrastructure in Jajmau, Bingawan, Sajari zones under Hybrid Annuity-PPP mode.

This project includes construction of a 30 MLD sewage treatment plant (STP) at Pankha. “The central government will do capital investment and 15 years of operation and maintenance (works)”, said the ministry.

Besides, a project worth Rs 904 crore for rehabilitation and integration of sewage treatment infrastructure in Naini, Salori, Numayadahi, Rajapur, Ponghat, Kodra sewerage zones in Allahabad was also approved by the NMCG under Hybrid Annuity-PPP mode.

“One project of in-situ/ex-situ bio-remediation treatment of drains (meeting the main stem of river Ganga) has also been given approval at an estimated cost of Rs 410 crore. The NMCG, throughCPCBand other PSUs, identified major polluting drains wherein technology service provider will set up treatment facilities including containerised modular treatment plants for abatement of pollution of river Ganga and its tributaries”, said the ministry.

The identified drains are further classified into priority drains which require immediate intervention. Twenty drains have been considered for treatment in the first phase of the project.

“The step has been taken to adopt swift, techno-economic and sustainable technologies like in-situ/ex-situ to manage the pollution load in drains for interim period of infrastructure development and also to manage the cumulative effect of direct discharging of sewage into river Ganga”, said the ministry.

One project for rehabilitation with Operation & Maintenance of 15 years for Garden Reach STP (57 MLD) andKeorapukur STP(50 MLD) in West Bengal under Hybrid Annuity mode has also been approved at an estimated cost of nearly Rs 165 crore.

Besides, three sewage infrastructure projects have been accorded revised approvals in Begusarai, Hajipur and Munger in Bihar at an estimated cost of nearly Rs 230 crore, Rs. 305 crore and Rs 294 crore, respectively.

I think when Gadkari is at the Helm i am sure the Ganga clean up project will go in much faster pace.. He is one fine minister that Modi Govt has..

I think when Gadkari is at the Helm i am sure the Ganga clean up project will go in much faster pace.. He is one fine minister that Modi Govt has..

Gadakari in his interview has said that cod level has down a lot in recent analysis of ganga water. He has put some over 100 bio digester plant in areas where 70% of Ganga pollution comes. He has raised some 3000 crore from UK based businessmen for Ghats and other facilities . One business man has agreed to construct 30 km long facility on river for 1000 crore.

Apparently Kanpur is one of the biggest contributors for pollution in Ganga.
@Trinetra Nitin Gadkari doing work again!

I had noticed new trees planted along national highway between vijayawada and hyderabad(telangana side) which conforms to the formula of spacing between plants along side the highway as per green highway policy. This was last year.

can't say if that was because of Green highway policy or some state govt initiative.

One thing for sure is that there is a severe fund cruch because of GST not giving expected revenues to govt coffers.
