Where’s river Ganga in Tamil Nadu?

泰米尔纳德邦哪里有恒河？

CHENNAI: A statement in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday that Clean Ganga Fund under corporate social responsibility (CSR) had been used in Tamil Nadu, with firms spending Rs 52 lakh in the past three years, raised eyebrows and DMK’s P Wilson tweeted: “I didn’t know Ganga flows through TN!”.

金奈:周二，印度联邦上院发表声明称，企业社会责任下的清洁恒河基金已发放给泰米尔纳德邦，过去三年公司支出了520万卢比。这一声明令人惊讶，DMK党的P Wilson在推特上写道:“我不知道恒河流过泰米尔纳德邦!”

To a question raised by Wilson, the Union corporate affairs ministry replied that ‘Clean Ganga Fund’ was among those used for CSR projects in Tamil Nadu.

对于他提出的问题，印度联合企业事务部回答说，“清洁恒河基金”是用于泰米尔纳德邦企业社会责任项目的基金之一。

When contacted, the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), under the Union Jal Shakti ministry, said Clean Ganga Funds were not released for Tamil Nadu.

当记者联系到印度清洁恒河国家使命组织(NMCG)时，隶属于联合贾尔·沙克蒂(Jal Shakti)部的该组织表示，清洁恒河基金并未发放给泰米尔纳德邦。

In his reply, minister of state for corporate affairs Rao Inderjit Singh said 1,316 companies spent Rs 919 crore under CSR in 2019-20 in Tamil Nadu, against the Rs 627.7 crore spent in 2017-18 and Rs 829.3 crore spent in 2018-19.

印度企业事务国务部长Rao Inderjit Singh在回复中表示，2019- 2020年，1316家公司在泰米尔纳德邦的CSR支出为91.9亿卢比，而2017-18年和2018-19年分别为62.77亿卢比和82.93亿卢比。

Agro-forestry, education, healthcare, clean Ganga fund and slum area development are among the 28 sectors listed for funding under CSR in TN.

农林业、教育、医疗保健、清洁恒河基金和贫民窟地区发展等28个部门列入了在泰米尔纳德邦CSR项目下需要资助的部门。

Details on the list of projects were not furnished and Wilson charged that there was no transparency. “For instance, what were the activities taken up through the Clean Ganga Funds in Tamil Nadu? I will write to the ministry seeking more details in this regard,” he said.

该项目清单上的细节没有提供，Wilson指责该清单缺乏透明度。“例如，泰米尔纳德邦的清洁恒河基金开展了哪些活动？我将致函外交部，寻求这方面的更多细节。”

An NMCG official said Clean Ganga Funds were used for development in the Ganga basin.

NMCG的一位官员表示，清洁恒河基金用于恒河流域的开发。

River Ganges though flows in north it is a perennial river and helps in agriculture. So we have to comprehend that Ganga need not literally flow in Tamilnadu .We are in India.I feel this is is suffice.

恒河虽然流向北方，但它是一条常流河，对农业有帮助。恒河并不一定要流经泰米尔纳德邦，只要在印度，我觉得就足够了。

Need to read documents clearly. CSR funds can be spent on cleaning Ganga as it is respected as sacred by Hindus of entire Nation.

So it's clear that question raised only for political reasons and nothing else.

Its nowadays anything related to Hinduism is represented as anti national and speaking a lot about. Degrading, disrespect rendered day by day.

需要清楚地阅读文件。CSR的资金可以用于清理恒河，因为恒河被整个印度教徒视为神圣的河流。所以很明显，这个问题的提出只是出于政治原因，没有其他原因。
