New Delhi, Dec 12: With the aim of expediting the progress of works under the flagship scheme of Namami Gange, Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation has roped in the leading Central Public Sector Undertakings (CPSUs).
These CPSUs include Engineers India Ltd. (EIL), National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC), WAPCOS Ltd., National Projects Construction Corporation Ltd. (NPCC), and Engineering Projects India Ltd.
For effective administration of these activities, the Ministry has divided the entire length of Ganga in five stretches coinciding with the boundaries of the states and allocated them to these CPSUs.
These PSUs will take up the entry level activities and the assessment work in their designated stretches and will be responsible for implementation.
This is expected to quick start the implementation process and facilitate easy scale up of these activities along the length of Ganga.
The Ministry is also institutionalizing a robust review and monitoring mechanism by roping in third party appraisal agencies from both public and private sector, State agencies, Urban Local bodies and Panchayati Raj Institutions. Contemporary audit tools including social audit and community monitoring is also being considered.
