Minister of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation Uma Bharti Saturday urged public sector undertakings to join the clean Ganga mission of the government.

She exhorted the PSUs to come forward and contribute to the government's efforts to clean the Ganga of all pollutants.

She gave the call in her address on the 58th annual day celebrations of the National Projects Construction Corporation Limited (NPCC) - a PSU under the water resources ministry.

Bharti said companies like NPCC can play a very positive role in the Ganga Rejuvenation Programme by effectively contributing to it.

The minister complimented the NPCC for the turnaround achieved by it during the past few years and expressed the hope that it would earn more laurels in the years to come.

National Projects Construction Corporation Limited was set up in 1957 to create necessary infrastructure in the country.
