Sankat Mochan Foundation:
The
Sankat Mochan Foundation is a non-profit, non-political, secular, non-governmental organization. Founded in 1982 at Varanasi, it has been struggling to alleviate the environmental degradation of the River Ganga.The Foundation's efforts to restore the Ganga to its pristine purity and glory by preventing discharge of pollutants into it has found support from all corners of the world.
The Swatcha Ganga (Clean Ganga) Campaign launched by the Foundation has brought to fore not only the extent of damage caused to the river but also to the environs around it.
