Namami Tate Is a campaign brought to you by the Ministry of Earth Sciences in collaboration with the Government of India. This campaign is part of the Government of India’s 75 week celebration of Azadi ka Amrit Mohotsav. Through Namami Tate, we are targeting cleaning of some of the dirtiest beaches of India with the help of the Government as well as fellow citizens. Beaches play a fundamental role in maintaining the health of the oceans and also provide habitat to a number of marine species.

However, last year, a group of researchers from ICAR-Central Institute of Fisheries Education (CIFE) found that the north-east Arabian Sea, just off Mumbai, contained an estimated 379 MT of marine debris of which plastics contributed to 40.6% of the total by weight. A major portion of this debris washes up on the beaches creating health, environmental, economic as well as social hazards. The fast-paced growth of the tourism sector combined with the lack of awareness on the part of citizens about the damaging impact of pollution is one of the leading causes of the abysmal condition of our beaches. The Namami Tate campaign aims to clean these beaches and protect our precious marine biodiversity.

The Ministry of Earth Sciences invites suggestions from the citizens of India about the innovative ways in which we can conduct this beach cleaning activity. We value your suggestions which would be instrumental in implementing this campaign.

The best entries from the citizens will be identified by the Ministry and will be featured on the MyGov page.

The last date to receive suggestions is 15th August 2022.

Sir, the ministry of Earth science must differentiate beach cleaning activities with beach polluting activities. waste & garbage due to human activities and industrial waste,dumps & garbage by industrial activities near beaches or shores. Earth science must come forward to save this planet fm excessive human consumption/greed unless nature will treat human as another rouge species superficially designed for complete destruction of earth so human must be shown the doors & their place among past extinguished species. For that human has self preserved atom bombs in the name of safeguarding countries/motherlands etc. Innovations/ redesigns with sensible alignments with nature may save us fm any future catastrophe. so cleaning of beaches/shores as well as places where we do many commercial activities for betterment of economy must be prioritised and machines & robots with artificial intelligence to be put to use for cleaning sake and other tasks side by side with human appointed for such.tk

Sir, The best way to get people interested in joining cleaning and scavenger activities is by showing them something that they can gain. Creating awareness takes a lot of time and effort and is the best way for everlasting changes but to get people immediately onto work it's better make it mandatory for government employees or private sector employees to participate in cleaning the sea and collecting garbage at least 12 days a year. The sea is where all the life has begun and protecting it is our sole duty. Protecting the sea is equal to protecting your country what we call Bharat mata because even this Bharat mata arose from the bottom of the sea meaning came through the sea. You can also make the children at schools along with their teachers participate in cleaning and scavenging the areas around the sea as it is dangerous to send children into the sea and encourage the able bodied adults to participate in these programmes. A clean environment is a must for a happy life.

There are a lot of Prisoners in India who are serving for petty theft or first time offences. Courts should give them community service as term, we can use these people to clean beaches. It can be paid job but we have to make sure that this should not be given to people with grave crimes like murders or rape convicts.

Hello, If we look out beach, what are debris and waste accumulates? Shashe pockets,plastic carry bags, plastic and aluminium cans, fishing net fragments,nylon ropes both as whole and fragments, domestic and industrial effluent,faecal matters,used clothes,iron materials and recent days used masks are common on beaches. Each one is removed wisely by collecting and disposed them. CSMCRI Bhavnagar developed degrade able packing material from seaweed.It is commercialized by govt funding.Ban of shashe usage in FMGC sector.Companies engaged in FMGC think degradeable materials used for their packing. By advise of NEERI, Nagpur all the effluents reached to the sea is undergo in ETPs. Everyone go for beach is encouraged to collect debris.For this they are praised by token of free entry to beach.Child is collecting waste materials rewarded by cap, lozenges Talk show will organised upon beach cleaning and how to restore pristine nature of Mother Sea. . . ,

Today I happen to go by Eliot beach in Besantnagar in Chennai surprised to so many shops on the beach. one of the beautiful beaches has become shabby place. who gave the permission to put shops on the beach. Today beaches place to relax for people has been occupied by Fisherman or local politicians who take bribe and lease out the place on the beach. solution: 1.Law to remove any encroaching on the beach. 2. construct of open huts for people to sit and relax with family. 3. Beaches should have a separate bodies to control and maintain with clear laws. 4. Schools can conduct NSS projects of cleaning the beaches. 5. like we cleaned the Ganga river beds. we need to keep beaches for relaxing not for business of few.

hi, I have an other idea. limited beach access to people and barricading pollutants. we need to put boundary to the beach where people carrying debris access, there by reducing the challenge circumference of cleaning. also put fish net tent (small)House for water to go to and fro but debris is withheld nearby. we can make automated beach cleaning. I will be sharing a video on this soon. thank you.
