On 4th November, National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) vibrantly celebrated Ganga Utsav as an ode to the river’s significance to the people of India.

• The event witnessed the coming together of art and culture and people from different walks of life to honour the river’s sanctity. 
• This year, the event was more special as it was dedicated to Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav which celebrates 75 years of independent India.
• As a part of this initiative, the Ganga Basin states will observe up to 75 special events to promote the local culture, raise awareness about the conservation and protection of the river, and generate employment opportunities.
• This was also the central theme of the day-long event hosted in the capital.
