The National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), in coordination with the Jal Shakti Ministry, organized ‘Ganga Utsav’ in the Major Dhyanchand stadium in the national capital.
Ganga Utsav is celebrated on November 4 because Ganga was declared as the country’s national river on this day.
This utsav is celebrated to mark the 11th anniversary of Ganga being declared as the national river in 2008.
The event was organized in a bid to create awareness and gather public participation in the efforts to clean River Ganga and its tributaries.
