The cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav approved the formation of Nirmal and Aviral Maa Narmada Mission (Naman Mission) for the conservation, revitalization and long-term management of the Narmada River. About 33 percent of the population of Madhya Pradesh is directly or indirectly dependent on the Narmada River and its catchment area.
Keeping this in mind, this Mission has been developed as an integrated, scientific and multi-departmental institutional arrangement. A strong financial framework has been created for the smooth functioning of the Mission and execution of the projects. For Narmada conservation and development works, Rs 100 crore will be given every year from the state grant under the Nirmal and Aviral Narmada Mission Fund.
Additionally, Rs 100 crore will be utilized annually from the Forest Department’s CAMPA fund. In exceptional circumstances, an amount of Rs 100 crore will be made available from the state budget in 5 years for works other than the prevalent schemes. Public support will also be mobilized in the mission through CSR funds, central assistance and PPP model.
