Environment protection has become a key issue today. The scale and magnitude of human activities are affecting the climate, ecology and environment. To protect the environment, widespread education to arouse ecological consciousness and environmental awareness among the masses is a must. Therefore, Ganga Seva Nidhi organizes lectures by noted national and international environmentalists, debates, workshops, anti-pollution camps, poster exhibition and processions. GSN also publishes and distributes literature and pamphlets on Ganga pollution. In collaboration with Hotel Taj   Daily Morning Aarti of Divine Ganga                       Ganges, Varanasi, GSN is developing Prayag Ghat, Dashashwamedh Ghat and Dr. Rajendra Prasad Ghat as ideal ghats.                                                                      

Ganga Seva Nidhi actively celebrates important religious festivals to arouse awareness for collective work for the society, preserve cultural heritage and bring peace and harmony in society. For the first time in Nations modern history, GSN started Aakash-Deep (Offering light), which are lit as a mark of tribute to the nation’s martyrs in the evening at Dashashwamedh Ghat in the month of Karttika. This programme finally culminates on Karttika Purnima in a glorious function organized in collaboration with HINDALCO, Renukoot, HQ Central Air Command, Allahabad, 4 Air Force Selection Board, Varanasi and 39 GTC, Varanasi. GSN honours brave Martyrs with "Bhagirath Shourya Samman" in this function. Karttika Purnima is also observed by GSN as a Martyrs Commemoration Day. Thus, Dev-Dipavali as celebrated by GSN is a wonderful blend of Spiritualism & Nationalism. Daily Ganga Aarti, followed by prayers and discourses, is a constructive effort of GSN to reawaken the latent consciousness of people towards the sordid impurities and pollution of Ganga.

Geet Ganga – a Music Festival - organized during Dev-Dipavali is an effort of GSN to preserve and promote Varanasi’s cultural heritage. GSN has also instituted an award "Bhagirath Alankaran", which is awarded to eminent intellectuals, environmentalists, artists and social workers for their invaluable contribution to society and humanity. GSN organizes various programmes of classical music and encourages young artists by providing a platform at the Ghats.
