New Delhi, Jan 24 (IBNS): Union Minister of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation Uma Bharti has called for active involvement of NPCC into Namami Gange programme.

Inaugurating the new office complex of National Projects Construction Corporation Limited (NPCC) in Gurugram today the Minister said that our government wants to strengthen PSUs.


She said “There was a proposal for the merger of NPCC. But we were not in its favour because we believe in strengthening every PSU”. 

The Minister said her Ministry is committed to ensure purity and unrestricted flow of Ganga.


She said under Namami Gange programme it will be ensured that waste from the cities does not flow into Ganga and sufficient number of sewage treatment plants are installed.


At the same time, the Minister said that people should come forward for the construction of Ghats and repair of stairs at Ganga.


She said saints and religious leader should also come forward for this.

Complimenting NPCC, Dr Amarjeet Singh, Secretary, Ministry of Water Resources said that company successfully carried out projects in such far flung areas where no one dares to enter.


He said so far the quality of work of NPCC has been excellent and hoped that this will increase in the years to come.
