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.

Innovative ways of beach cleaning: A group of 2-3 members should be assigned a small area to clean. This way various groups can help in cleaning small areas finely. Bottles, packets, polythene bags etc can be segregated to clean the beach. A machine can be used to collect the sand and just like a vacuum cleaner and then the filtered sand must be released again just like a filer tool used in kitchen. This will collect the garbage in that filter and release only clean sand. Other points to be noted: Involve youth in cleaning the beaches as a part of beach cleaning drive. Place dustbins near to each other. Also, the people selling something or having a shop on beach should see to each that their customers don't throw garbage on beach. They should also strictly keep dustbins in their shop. Put fine charges. Shops vendors should be instructed to use as much of recycle items to serve their products.

मेरे विचार से हमे सभी नालों में जली का उपयोग करना चहिए निश्चित दूरी पर और हर कुछ दूर पर पहले की जली से पतली जाली का उपयोग किया जय जिससे नाले का पानी के साथ कचरा नहीं जायेगा और हम उस कचरे को आसानी से साफ भी कर पाएंगे । अगर हम ऐसा करते है तो जो नदी या समुंद्र में नाले की पानी के साथ कचरा जाता है वहा केवल नाले की पानी जायेगी।

Plastic waste found off the coast is not dumped in sea by some ship. It must have gone there through some river or drains. We all know how waste is generated on land, how it goes into open drains and rivers. Instead of trapping the plastic waste on land itself Ministry of Earth Sciences is planning to churn the sand on beaches with beach cleaning machine each costing more than 6-7 crores. I hope, Ministry of Earth Sciences ( MOES) shall make animated videos to explain how plastic generated on land reaches to sea via drains and rivers. These videos shall made part of education of students of middle and secondary classes to create awareness. MOES shall work with State Pollution Control Boards and Central Pollution Control Board to check flow of plastic and other wastes in rivers and drains. If we are able to catch the pollutants at source, then only it will be advantageous to remove the floating debris from sea. Otherwise removing the debris does not mean anything.

sms अलर्ट के माध्यम से, समुद्र के 100 मीटर के रेंज में आने वाले लोगों को, एक विशेष संदेश दिया जाए कि कैसे तटो पर कचरा फैलाना उनके और आस पास मौजूद जीव जंतुओं के लिए हानिकारक है। साथ ही भीड़ भाड़ वाले तटो पर नुक्कड़ नाटक के आयोजन द्वारा कचड़ा फैलने से होने वाले हानियों से संबंधित संदेश दिया जाए। इसके अलावा CCTV camera के मध्यम से अलार्म सिस्टम भी लगाया जा सकता है ताकि जैसे ही कोई व्यक्ति कचड़ा ईधर उधर फेके अलार्म के मध्यम से ऐसा ना कराने से संबंधित संदेश सुनाई दे।

मेंरे विचार से समुद्र तटबंधों के आसपास जागरूकता कार्यक्रम चलाया जाना चाहिए । रिसायइकल एकत्रित जगह बनानी चाहिए जहाँ पर जागरूक लोग एकल उपयोग सामाग्री डाल सकें ।समुद्र तटबंधों के आसपास सामाग्री विक्रय करने बाले क्रय करने बाले को बतायें कि ईसको उपयोग करने के उपरान्त एकत्रित प्वाइंट में डालें बताना अनिवार्य हो। समुद्र तटबंधों पर जागरूकता वालियनटर जगह-जगह पर उपस्थित हो जो पर्यटको को जागरूक करें तथा उसके उपरान्त भी यदि कोई व्यक्ति गन्दगी करता है तो वह मैनेजमेंट को सूचना दें मैनेजमेंट उस व्यक्ति पर फाइन लगाए ।

Stay away from plastic bags instead of using plastic bags to bring your snacks, use reusable bags and containers. Don't smoke! Cigarette butts are the leading pollutant on our beaches. Encourage others you know to use these tips and to do their part in keeping our beaches clean and save.

Ban selling of plastic water and juice bottles and plastic sachets, carry bags completely around the beach and rivers. If anyone carrying such plastic sachets and water bottles and plastic carry bags should be fined Rs. 500/ Local vendors should be educated and they should be given an option to sell food items in mud cups and in nature based banana leaf, Arecanut plates and cups. This will definitely help to maintain clean environment. Prohibiting consumption of liquor and throwing the bottles in the beach should be strictly enforced. A fine of Rs.5000/ or 6 months prison will bring down the consumption of liquors in beach. School and College boys and girls visiting beach without the knowledge of their parents has to be banned. If anyone found roaming unnecessarily the police should call their parents and warn them. Those who litter or pollute water bodies has to be dealt strongly and heavily fined.
