In News 
  • As part of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations, the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) organized Yamunotsav in association with a group of NGOs at ASITA East River Front, ITO Bridge, to celebrate the glory of Yamuna with a “pledge to keep it clean”. 
About Yamunotsav
  • Under Namami Gange Programme, the focus was on the main stem of Ganga Basin and the positives results are now showing.
  • The target now is to clean River Yamuna and ensure that 3 big STPs being constructed are completed by December 2022 with the support of stakeholders, preventing all the major drains and dirty water from falling into Yamuna.
  •  The festivity was in the air at the Yamuna ghat where people from all age groups revered River Yamuna and took part in creating a momentum to clean the river.
  • One of the most inspiring corners at the event was a board with pictures and paintings made by under privileged children.
  • To spread the message of ‘no-plastic’, kullads (earthen glasses) were kept on the water stations to drink water.
