Shortcomings in Implementation

A town approach adopted instead of a holistic river basin approach before constitution of the National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA).

05/02/2023A. Deepu Kishore ALWIN MEMORIAL SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL11

(i) Increasing gap between requirement of Sewage treatment infrastructure and actual pollution load being tackled due to continuous increase in population in towns along the river banks, inadequate financial resources invested in river cleaning.

05/02/2023A. Deepu Kishore ALWIN MEMORIAL SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL12

(ii) Delays in completion of schemes due to lack of inter-agency coordination at field level, delays in acquisition of land for STPs & Pumping stations, contractual problems, court cases, etc. leading to cost overruns.

05/02/2023A. Deepu Kishore ALWIN MEMORIAL SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL13

(iii) Shortage of Skilled manpower and regular staff and inadequate provision of funds by the States and ULBs for O&M of the sewage treatment infrastructure.

05/02/2023A. Deepu Kishore ALWIN MEMORIAL SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL14

(iv) Erratic/ non-availability of power supply for operation of operation of assets, under – utilization of STPs, in some cases , due to non-conveyance of sewage generated in the absence of upstream systems such as branch sewers & house connections.

(v) Lack of involvement of civil society in the programme.
