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.

Enforcing a strict ban on selling food packets and plastic water bottles near beach will solve 50% of the problem. Shopkeepers must be educated on the hazarrds created by discarded plastic covers and wrappers. A blanket ban of all selling all types of plastic items 5 kilometres around the beach has to be strictly implemented by the authorities. Regular advertisements in FM Radio Channels on keeping the beach clean will help in creating awareness. Small vendors selling food items near beach areas should be informed to sell food items only in nature based products which will degrade and doesn't cause any harm to environment. A big size board warning not to use and throw plastic covers or water bottles has to be placed. Local Fishermen can be used for patrolling and they can create awareness among the public who litter on the beach. A documentary on beach and marine lives can be aired to create an awareness among youngsters.

First a massive awareness campaign among the shopkeepers selling food and beverages on plastic pollution has to be done. They should be educated to sell their food items in nature based banana leaf, Arecanut disposable plates and cups. Selling of plastic covers and plates should be banned near beaches. If anyone carries liquor bottles should be arrested and fined heavily. Public should also co operate by not littering waste papers or water bottles on the beach. A cleaning drive should be conducted monthly once. Local Fishermen also should be educated to avoid plastic materials when they go for fishing. Dust bins at the entrance to the beach has to be kept. A small video on maintaining the beach should be aired in all channels and cinema theatres will help creating an awareness among youngsters. A public announcement on maintaining the beach clean by the Police or patrolling squad will be very effective. School can conduct competitions and give prizes and certificate for kids.

Community service is a good subject to be taught in university levels either for a diploma or degree students because this will make create awareness for them so that they will tend to help other in the future. This community service is my second time doing community service subject before I did for diploma now for degree and I had an excellent time doing this topic. For degree level course, my project is about beach cleaning.
