Option 2 : 1985

The correct answer is 1985.

  • The First River Action Plan i.e., the Ganga Action Plan (GAP) was taken up by the Ministry of Forests and Environment in 1985.
  • It came up to eradicate pollution in the river Ganga.
  • The ultimate objective of GAP is to have an approach to integrated river basin management considering the various dynamic interactions between abiotic and biotic eco-systems.
  • Phase I of the GAP involved the construction of three new wastewater treatment plants.

 Thus, we can say that to eradicate pollution in the river Ganga, the Government of India came up with the Ganga Action Plan (Phase I) in 1985.
