Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The water quality of major rivers in India, used for drinking, agricultural, and other purposes, has degraded to a dangerous extent, making the government come up with a plan to rejuvenate the rivers. The Ganga Action Plan (GAP) started in 1985, intending to clean the heavily polluted holy river Ganga. Subsequently, the plan was extended to include other polluted rivers as the National River Conservation Plan (NRCP) in 1995. Treating the industrial wastewater before releasing it into the rivers, low-cost sanitation, and public awareness were some activities under NRCP. The National River Conservation Directorate (NRCD) under the Jal Sakthi Ministry is responsible for implementing NRCP.
