The National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) is spearheading several important initiatives under the Clean Ganga Mission, focusing on the preservation of the Ganga’s biodiversity, particularly endangered species like the Ganga Dolphin. These efforts are part of a larger vision to restore the ecological balance of the river while protecting the flora and fauna that depend on it. One of the key initiatives in this mission is the launch of a special Dolphin Ambulance to aid in the rescue of injured Ganga Dolphins, a species vital to the river’s ecosystem.
Along with the Dolphin Ambulance, NMCG has approved several other conservation projects aimed at safeguarding aquatic life in the Ganga and its tributaries. These projects highlight the significant role the Ganga plays in preserving not just the river’s physical cleanliness but also the life it sustains.
