Explanation:

The Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) is part of the urban renewal mission launched by the Government of India to improve the quality of life in urban slums.

Ganga, as a river, has national importance but the river requires cleaning by effectively controlling the pollution of its water. The Union Government has launched the ‘Namami Gange Program.

Ganga Grams were developed as a part of the Namami Gange Programme in Uttarakhand, UP, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal.

Delhi is the chief cause of pollution in the Yamuna river as it dumps its domestic waste in the river.
