That's why health index of Ganga is being prepared, IIT Hyderabad and MNNIT got the responsibility.

Prayagraj: Everyone's eyes are on the Mahakumbh 2025 fair to be held in the country's pilgrimage city Prayagraj. Meanwhile, Prayagraj-based Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology (MNNIT) has announced the launch of a big initiative. He will investigate the Ganga water from Haridwar to Kolkata in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IIT). At the same time, efforts will be made to prepare the health index of Ganga.

It is being informed that this campaign is being started to clean and protect the water of Ganga. This project is being considered as a big step towards further promoting the cleanliness of Ganga and reviving the water quality of Ganga under Namami Gange Scheme.

Health index will be prepared like this

Giving information about this project, Professor RS Verma, Director of Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, said that River Ganga is considered the lifeline of India, but increasing pollution has put it in serious danger. Prayagraj-based Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology and Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad are going to work together to find out the causes and solutions to Ganga pollution. Under this project, every level of water of river Ganga from Haridwar to Kolkata will be thoroughly investigated and their data will be collected. After that, after analyzing it, a health index will be prepared based on the quality of Ganga water.

After preparing the health index based on the quality of Ganga water, such recommendations will be sent to the Central Government, which will be necessary for the cleaning and conservation of Ganga and through their implementation the water quality will be improved and maintained.

IIT Hyderabad is the nodal agency
Professor RS Verma, Director of Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, said that IIT Hyderabad will act as the nodal center in this project and will have the responsibility of collecting data related to the river. This will involve collecting water samples from different parts of the river, identifying sources of pollution and classifying the types of pollutants.

As soon as this work is completed by the nodal centre, then the role of MNNIT Prayagraj will start and it will do the work of analyzing the data. In this, advanced technological tools like Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data Analytics will be used. By comparing the historical and current data of pollution level of Ganga, MNNIT will find out what are the main sources of pollution of river Ganga, such as industrial waste, sewage or agricultural chemicals or anything else that causes pollution to Ganga. Is causing more harm.

hope for far reaching results
Director of MNNIT Prof. RS Verma said that the health index of Ganga will be created on the basis of water quality, biodiversity and chemical composition. Pro. RS Verma believes that such reports will play a big role in helping identify priority areas to clean and protect the Ganga. This project can prove to be a historic step towards promoting the cleanliness of Ganga and reviving its water quality under the Namami Gange scheme, which will have far-reaching results.
