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.

Should not allow public to throw garbage in beach and should educate only to throw in dustbin and make them recycle. Beach incharge post to be created so that employment is created and fine should be imposed if thrown garbage outside dustbin. Beach is for enjoying nature , relax a tourism place. Strict rules to be imposed so that beaches are kept clean.

There are three primary ways the public can learn about or participate in beach cleaning: educational programs, awareness campaigns, and volunteering

First of all, carrying plastic on the beach should be stopped and a rule should be made for this, those who do so should be fined. After this, a campaign should be organized for cleaning the beach, asking people to cooperate with the government for cleaning the beach on all social media platforms, those who are interested will themselves come forward for help. Those who come forward for help,The government should appraise them and provide those people a certificate for this good work.

In our federal structure of governance what is role of Central Government and State governments is well defined. Beach cleaning is responsibility of local administration. What is the role of center there? Will state government accept any suggestions made by Central Government citing encroachment in their jurisdictions? Swacch Bharat mission was launched several years ago. Though, it may be called a success to raise awareness about cleanliness but it has failed to make cities and villages clean. Scattered garbage dumps can be seen anywhere and everywhere simply because local administration is useless. There is no mechanism to make it work because it is under respective State governments and mostly Corporations and Nagar Nigams are dens of corruption. There are Swachch City awards given to various cities under various categories. But still these cities can not be called Swachh as we generally perceive the standards of cleanliness. So, how it can be expected to get clean beaches

Hello everybody , Iam karthikeyan and iam from Chennai . Thus, my idea is that to direct some administration based tidy up drive with Ngo's, college and schools also. This is just way individuals interface with various approachs or thoughts from various personalities . What's more another philosophy is that hands with corporation and solid waste department . This is my idea and thought too. Expressing gratitude toward you

Then following steps to be taken to clean the beaches: Responsibility to be fixed for unwanted debris on Area Incharges /Village Visual demonstration about side effects of plastic and debris on environment to be shown to visitors on dirtiest beaches to create awareness among public. Awareness programs to be conducted regularly for tourists, visitors, local citizens, vendors and shopkeepers near beaches.
