What India National Mission for Clean Ganga (Namami Gange) and the National Ganga Council 2014 requires
Namami Gange is the Government of India's flagship integrated programme for the rejuvenation of the Ganga River and its tributaries, approved by the Union Cabinet in May 2015 with a budget of approximately INR 20,000 crore over five years and subsequently extended to 2026 with continued funding. The programme is administered by the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) under the Ministry of Jal Shakti through the Department of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation. The statutory framework for the programme is provided by the River Ganga (Rejuvenation, Protection and Management) Authorities Order 2016 issued by the central government on 7 October 2016 under the Environment (Protection) Act 1986. The 2016 Order establishes a five-tier institutional structure: the National Ganga Council (NGC) chaired by the Prime Minister with the chief ministers of the Ganga Basin states (Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, and West Bengal) and Union Ministers; the Empowered Task Force on River Ganga chaired by the Union Minister of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation; the National Mission for Clean Ganga as the implementation arm; the State Ganga Committees in each Basin state; and the District Ganga Committees in each district along the river. NMCG has powers to issue directions for protection and rejuvenation of the river including directions on industrial effluent management, sewage treatment, ghat development, and afforestation. The programme's eight pillars include sewerage infrastructure, river-front development, river-surface cleaning, biodiversity, afforestation, public awareness, industrial effluent monitoring, and Ganga Gram (rural sanitation).
