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.

Good morning, Trash on the beach can be unsightly, but when it flows into the ocean, it becomes life-threatening to marine wildlife and harmful to humans as well. If you want to do something different, hosting a beach cleanup is a great way to make the ocean safe and enjoyable for both animals and people. You'll need to plan well and recruit volunteers who are just as passionate as you, but the clean beach you see afterward will be worth it. We should aware people's and incourage them to participate in it. Thankyou.

Hi, I think you know me well... So here I am to take forward an initiative supported by one of my contacts Ronit. We use plastic straws whenever we buy drinks and plastic knives for cutting whenever we buy a cake. The problem lies when after using, we throw it away and it causes a serious pollution. When more people do this, it's killing nature. So let's spread awareness and ask people not to use plastic straws and we will refuse knives whenever we buy cakes. I won't be surprised if no one responds. However if you read to the end, plz send me a and will send you a text for you to post. Thankyou if you can support me in this.

Mechanical vs. manual cleaning There are two types of beach cleaning- mechanical and manual. These methods are also referred to as mechanical grooming and nonmechanical grooming. Mechanical beach cleaning is defined as litter and/or organic material removal that relies on the work of automatic or push machinery that rakes or sieves the most superficial layer of sand. Manual cleaning involves individuals picking up trash exclusively by hand.

It's a world of free internet and discounts/offers on purchases, beach means tourism so govt should offer discounts in hotels or online purchases if any locals or tourists contribute in beach cleaning activities (with proof) and also recognize citizens who maintains cleanliness outdoor. The main objective of providing discounts as remuneration always create positive vibe & 10% discounts is very much cost effective compared to annual maintenance cost of hiring agency & keeping track of the cleanliness activities on continuous basis. We cannot force anyone however one can bring change by changing mindset. Giving recognition from local bodies to citizens who take part in these activities plays another vital role as mindset of people change if we value & respect their contributions. This will encourage to support more & come forward in Nation development activities. We in our society recognize kids during any events for cleanliness & this helped us in achieving Swatch Bharat. Jai Hind !!

To achieve the Blue Flag standards, a beach has to strictly comply with 33 environment and tourism-related conditions. The standards were established by the Copenhagen-based Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) in 1985. For example- a beach must be plastic-free and equipped with a waste management system. Clean water should be available for tourists, apart from international amenities. The beach should have facilities for studying the environmental impact around the area.

India needs a national marine litter policy to control and manage waste on land and prevent its entry into the marine environment. Experts suggest installation of debris booms and fin deflectors upstream as measures to reduce the quantity of floating solid waste entering coastal waters. India also needs to start blue-flagging its beaches. The ‘blue flag’ is a globally recognised eco-label awarded to beaches and marinas that adhere to strict environmental and safety norms.

In addition to skimming garbage on sea shores with nets another idea is to take help of the waves to capture garbage. Lay fishing nets on the sea shore and wait for the waves to push the garbage into the nets and lift the fishing net end close to the ocean while the waves are receding to capture all the garbage and preventing them from being pulled back into the ocean.
