State Missions for Clean Ganga (SMCGs) and funding agencies like World Bank, ADB, JICA & KfW also were part of the discussions.
RCA Global Seminar has strong synergies with the Urban20 (U20) initiative under the ambit of India’s G20 Presidency. Healthy rivers play a critical role in enhancing the overall water security of cities; which echoes one of the thrust areas, i.e., promulgation of urban water security, of the U20 agenda.
