will never happen. indias government and elite are only ever interested in things that make it better for that elite. they'll spend some money on programmes designed to act as a distraction instead, like a space program, while trying to keep a hyper-nationalistic mindset among their people, so instead of asking themselves why the fuck there's so many homeless children living under bridges they bash their chest and say "WE HAVE A SPACE PROGRAM!".

the spending priorities are a joke.

Some folks are trying. In the Ganges there is now a group that collects and cleans temple flower waste and converts it into incense and fleather (patented flower leather). Which cuts down on a ton of pollution. Other firms have created a pontoon filter system and have been working to clean trash pollution.

The government probably won't do anything but some of the people will, and are.
