Which of the following is NOT the objective of the Namami Gange Progr…

The correct answer is Option (4) → Development of Ganga Gram in Himachal Pradesh

The Namami Gange Programme of the Union Government aims to clean the river Ganga by controlling its pollution.

Option (1) Development of river front — An objective of the programme. The river front is developed as part of cleaning and caring for the Ganga.

Option (2) Monitoring of industrial effluents — An objective of the programme. Waste water from factories is checked so that it does not pollute the river.

Option (3) Afforestation along the bank of river — An objective of the programme. Trees are planted along the bank to increase biodiversity.

Option (4) Development of Ganga Gram in Himachal Pradesh — Not an objective of the programme. ‘Ganga Grams’ are to be developed in Uttarakhand, UP, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal, the states through which the Ganga flows. Himachal Pradesh is not one of them. NTA changed the states of the book, and a true line became false. Read every word before you mark the answer.
