NMCG organises 'Ghat Par Yoga' to mark International Yoga Day at Yamuna bank
New Delhi [India], June 21 (ANI): On the occasion of the 11th International Day of Yoga, the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) organised a vibrant 'Ghat Par Yoga' event at the BSF Kayaking Camp in Sonia Vihar, New Delhi, along the banks of the River Yamuna. The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from a large number of individuals, including NMCG officials and staff, members of NGOs, the Border Security Force (BSF), students, and children. Celebrated under the global theme 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health,' the event brought together yoga enthusiasts and environmental advocates for a refreshing morning dedicated to mindfulness, movement, and the message of harmony between humanity and nature. Rajeev Kumar Mital, Director General of NMCG, expressed that practicing yoga along the serene banks of the Yamuna offers a uniquely uplifting and transformative experience. Rajeev Kumar Mital, Director-General of NMCG, said, 'According to our tradition, riverbanks have always played an important role--whether for education or for activities like yoga. However, as rivers became polluted, people lost that connection. Namami Gange celebrates International Yoga Day every year on the banks of the Yamuna, and the symbolic significance of this is to invite people to come to the riverbanks, to experience the river, and to truly feel its presence.' The early morning calm at the Yamuna ghat was filled with the soft sounds of breathing and calming chants. Expert yoga instructors guided the crowd through a well-rounded session of asanas and pranayama, aligning body, mind, and spirit with the soothing flow of the river nearby. Meenakshi, a Yoga Instructor, stated, 'Yoga holds great significance in life. If we cultivate even a small amount of awareness toward our health, we are already connected with yoga.' The event also witnessed enthusiastic participation from students, who welcomed the chance to practice yoga in the peaceful riverside setting and connect with nature. Roshan, a student, said, 'Today, we practiced yoga here, and it feels really good. We know that our ancient civilizations were built along rivers, and inspired by that, we've started doing yoga on the ghats. This is the fourth year that we're practicing yoga at the BSF camp.' NGOs partnering with NMCG also played a vital role, engaging participants through awareness activities. Mohit Krishan, Partner NGO representative, Namami Gange, said, 'We connected people with the Yamuna cleanliness campaign and with yoga. Yoga brings focus, motivation, and a sense of positivity.' Practising Yoga near Yamuna river provides a peaceful setting that inspires mindfulness and wellness. The calm river and natural surroundings create the perfect atmosphere for connecting body, mind, and spirit. Events like NMCG's 'Ghat Par Yoga' unite diverse participants, promoting community, health, and environmental awareness. (ANI)

Agra to get Rs 126 crore for better management of sewerage system
Lucknow: Sewerage management project worth Rs 126 crore was approved for Agra in the executive committee meeting of the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), chaired by director general Rajeev Kumar Mital on Thursday. Under this project, 40 interception and diversion structures will be constructed to enhance the efficiency of the city's sewer network. In addition to this, 21.20 km of interception and diversion sewer lines will be laid to ensure proper management of sewage in different areas. "The project includes the installation of eight state-of-the-art pumping stations to control and ensure swift transportation of sewage water. Trash screens will also be installed in five major drains to block pollutants and waste, thus safeguarding water bodies," said a UP govt official. He added that it will follow the Design-Build-Operate-Transfer (DBOT) model. The mission also approved a project to assess the environmental flow in the Ghagra and Gomti river basins, with a budget of approximately Rs 8 crore. This project will create a detailed database of river ecosystems using drones and on-site monitoring across different weather conditions. The database will cover water quality, flow, biodiversity of flora and fauna, and local social aspects, offering a comprehensive understanding of the environmental conditions of these rivers and their surroundings. "The data will help in developing conservation strategies while factoring in climate change, land use, and cover changes, along with human water demand. Various models will be used to identify suitable management options, which will be reviewed and improved regularly," the official added. The data will also enable an accurate assessment of required environmental flows and the development of best management practices for sustainable conservation of the Ghagra and Gomti river basins.
