‘River Cities Alliance’ and the National Urban River Management Plan for Kanpur were launched today in New Delhi by Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat.
Thirty major cities across the country have collaborated to improve the river in their cities.
This first-of-its-kind Alliance in the world represents the successful collaboration of the two Ministries, namely the Ministry of Jal Shakti and the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.
The Alliance will concentrate on three broad themes: networking, capacity building, and technical support.
The River Cities Alliance is comprised of the following cities: Dehradun, Haridwar, Rishikesh, Srinagar, Begusarai, Bhagalpur, Munger, Patna, Berhampore, Hooghly-Chinsurah, Howrah, Jangipur, Maheshtala, Rajmahal, Sahibganj, Ayodhya, Bijnor, Farrukhabad, and Kanpur.
The River Cities Alliance has the potential to play a critical role in connecting cities with their rivers, and it can serve as a model for all cities in the Basin and beyond.
