MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT AND FORESTS (SHRI NAMO NARAIN MEENA)
(a ) & (b) A Centrally Sponsored Scheme of National River Conservation Plan (NRCP)
is under implementation in 157 towns along polluted stretches of 31 rivers spread over 18 States. The State - wise/ town- wise/ river – wise details of approved costs of works under the NRCP is given at Annexure – I. As regards the river NOyyal in Tamil Nadu , the same is not covered under the NRCP . In addition to NRCP , another Centrally Sponsored Scheme, namely the National Lake Conservation Plan (NLCP) is also under implementation. Under the NLCP, projects for 36 Lakes have been approved so far at a cost of Rs . 165 crore. The details of the projects alongwith their approved costs is given at Annexure – II.
(c ) The water quality of river Ganga has shown improvement over the Pre-Ganga Action Plan quality of 1986 , wherever the works under the Action Plan have been completed. Despite phenomenal increase in urban population along the rivers, the water quality of rivers Ganga and Yamuna have shown reduction in organic pollution (Bio- chemical Oxygen Demand – BOD ) in relative terms though in some stretches, the BOD exceeds the standard (3mg/l ). The data indicates that the BOD at Kanpur upstream has increased by about 50% over that period.
(d ) & (e ) The approved outlay for NRCP in the X Plan is Rs. 1417 crore which is not sufficient to complete the ongoing works. For cleaning major rivers and lakes in the country, a huge amount of funds is required. The matter in this regard has been taken up with the Planning Commission which has agreed to review the outlay under NRCP/NLCP
at the time of Mid- Term review of the X Plan.
(f) The various pollution abatement works undertaken to achieve the target of cleaning the rivers and lakes are interception and diversion of sewage, setting up of sewage treatment plants, low cost sanitation, river front development , setting up of crematoria etc. and in-situ measures of lake cleaning such as desilting , deweeding, bio-remediation and catchment area treatment etc. As the requirement of funds to achieve the target of cleaning of the rivers and lakes is huge, the achievement of the same would depend on the availability of funds.
Annexure I referred to in reply to parts (a ) & (b) of LOk Sabha Unstarred Question No. 5545 to be answered on Monday , the May 2 , 2005 on Mobilization of funds for cleaning of Rivers and Lakes.
