To safeguard the river's natural, undisrupted flow and restore acceptable environmental flows where obstructing structures are already present.
To make the river clean enough to drink by all, which means that the river is completely separated from all liquid waste, solid waste and eventually all treated wastewater.
To provide responsible and sustainable solutions that ensure our future generations inherit the best planet we can give them.
To include all people in the common cause of restoring Ganga, regardless of their race, gender, caste, creed, economic status or nationality.
To work together and unite in our diversity in order to accomplish any goal set forth.
