The idea of rejuvenation of ...

The idea of rejuvenation of the project may sound like day dreaming but this is the only option if  Govt. of India is serious about mission Ganga to be accomplished. It was said because all the activities-  "STPs, Common ETPs, Garland Sewersc and Interception of Nullahs and Drains, Management of Solid Wastes, Starting initiatives of Organic Farming.... etc" appears to be seeing legs and trunk of the elephant separately. To see the whole body of the elephant , a holistic view is required and that's why it was said to assume Ganga as organisation. It is because unless the project can be viewed in holistic manner and not to have any centralised monitoring system (not for short term basis but for long term sustainable development), the project will take unlimited time to be accomplished , let alone 7-8 years. All the activities mentioned -""STPs, Common ETPs, Garland Sewers...." have been going on for last 30 years and still there is no sign of success of this project.  Only technology cannot solve this problem. Integrating proper management system, stakeholder engagement with  socio-economic perspectives are very much in need to solve this problem. 

Developing an organisation and providing legal authorisation to them will not be big issue for Govt. of India (seriousness matters off course). It is true, a huge fund is required but accumulation of fund will not be a problem in today's India. PPP model can be adopted but the whole work should be carried out under one dedicated authority.

interconnection of river is a separate issue. Connecting this issue with mission Ganga will make the mission more complex.
