The programme has undertaken 219 projects worth an estimated ₹35,664 crore, creating 4,341 MLD of sewage treatment plant (STP) capacity out of a target of 6,603 MLD. These efforts include conventional systems, nature-based solutions like constructed wetlands, and innovations such as multi-storey STPs and solar-powered plants to adapt to local geography and land constraints. The release does not say when the overall programme takes effect, as it is an ongoing mission.", "key_points": ["219 projects undertaken with an estimated cost of ₹35,664 crore", "4,341 MLD of sewage treatment capacity created across 10 Ganga basin states", "Uses diverse technologies including NEREDA, Johkasou, and Soil Biotechnology", "Implements energy-efficient 'Green STPs' using solar power and biogas", "147 of the 219 projects have been completed"], "issued_date": "2026-10-21", "listing_date": "2026-10-21", "document": {"form": "Press release", "number": "2325989", "type": "Press release", "legal_character": "informational_communication", "functions": ["announces"], "cites": []}, "issuer": "PIB Delhi", "department": "PIB Backgrounder", "source": {"key": "pib", "name": "Press Information Bureau", "site": "pib.gov.in", "official_url": "https://www.pib.gov.in/PressReleseDetail.aspx?PRID=2325989"}, "topics": ["wastewater treatment", "namami gange programme", "infrastructure"], "reader_topics": ["Environment & waste"], "intent": "updates", "states": ["br", "up", "ut", "wb"], "national": false, "places": ["10 Ganga basin states"], "applies_to": ["10 Ganga basin states"], "dates": [{"kind": "period_start", "date": "2014-01-01", "wording": "launched in 2014", "what": "Namami Gange Programme", "counts_from": null}], "revision": "60a7341bbcb5fbb8", "recorded_at": "2026-10-22T06:43:07.101571+00:00", "provenance": {"method": "ai_summary", "automated_check": "pass", "human_review": "pending"}}, "meta": {"schema": "publicfeed.update.v1", "count": 1, "next": null, "plan": "free", "feed_updated_at": "2026-10-25T02:43:54.687916+00:00", "generated_at": "2026-10-25T03:08:38+00:00"}, "attribution": "Data: PublicFeed (https://publicfeed.in), summarising official documents linked in each record.
