Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Assertion A is correct because the Government of India launched the Namami Gange programme in 2014-15 to rejuvenate River Ganga. Reason R is incorrect as the programme's official name is Namami Gange, not PM-Nirmal Ganga Abhiyan. Thus, Assertion A is true but Reason R is false.
