This book focuses on governance and management issues in the much
publicized 'Ganga Rejuvenation Project', led by the Indian Prime
Minister Mr. Narendra Modi. Attempts over the past three decades to
clean up and rejuvenate one of the world's greatest rivers have
proved futile. The major reasons for the lack of success are
absence of long-term planning, poor co-ordination and failure to
sustain whatever little infrastructure for water and sewage
treatment could be developed. Focusing on these broad aspects, the
book explores spaces for better governance through active community
participation, knowledge management, prospects of
Public-Private-Partnership, e-governance, youth education,
waterfront development, lessons from past failures, comparative
international analogies, utilization of external aid and global
expertise in successful implementation of a sustainable long-term
plan for a river basin's integrated development of both the economy
and environment. A host of activities, such as, improving pollution
monitoring systems, new development plans for tourism enhancement;
river dredging and sewering riparian cities are already being
carried in the hope of quick results. The Government of India has
also appointed a task force for preparation of a long-term
strategy. However, substantial knowledge gaps persist especially
with regard to governance. This book aims to address the governance
and policy issues and will be a very timely contribution to
cleaning as well as rejuvenating Ganga, a river that is lifeline of
millions of people.
