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.

Respected sir/ma'am:- Good afternoon to all सभी अपशिष्ट पदार्थों का सही तरह से निपटान करने के लिए नियम बनाने और पालन करना भी जरुरी है| सुखे और गिले कचरे को अलग अलग कचरे के डिब्बे में डालना व सुखे कचरे को जलाने वाली भठ्ठी में प्रयोग आदि ,वहीं का कचरा वहीं पर भठ्ठी में प्रयोग किया जाना चाहिए|

Respect, Everyone loves the beaches, many of us visited there but never found it clean. We have been taught in childhood that Cleanliness is next to Godliness, but how many of us treated our surroundings the same way some options for cleaning of beaches would be, 1) we should organise a seminar/webinar on this to guide people 2) everyone should carry there dustbin bags with them while visiting the beaches 3) there should be a fine to be kept if a person is seen while throwing waste 4) Don't allow eatery items on beaches or avoid bringing eatery items. 5) Try to make awareness of bringing tiffin (lunchbox) from home, as there would be no plastic bags, water bottles or any can would be spilled here and there. 6) As we go to for picnic, we should also go for picnic at beaches for cleaning as its a part of life like we have home. 7) Cleaning of beaches should not be a task, its a kind of work we do in our day to day life. TY.

नमस्ते प्रधानमंत्री जी, FIRSTLY WE HAVE TO PLACE PERMANENT DUSTBIN UNDER EVERY FIVE METER COVERAGE. PLANT A BIG REFINER OF CLOTH FOR WAVES. MAKE WASHROOM THEIR IN EVERY FIVE METER. IN EVERY 1 HOUR CLEANER TEAM COMES AND CLEAN IT. START A SCHEME IN TOURIST OR URBAN PEOPLE COLLECT GARBAGE IN BAGS AND HANDLE IT TO CLEANING STAFF AND GET MONEY ACCORDING TO GARBAGE. धन्यवाद

sir, Just not cleaning but to maintain cleanliness is the major task. we can clean our beaches but after a day or other it starts getting polluted. I have an amazing solution for this, what causes pollution 1) plastic waste (major) 2)waste other then this what can be done? All the possible ways by which these materials enter on the beaches should be killed. eg no packaged food should be allowed rather fruits,other natural materials should be provided,this will create a source of income for other residents similar water bottle can be substituted with coconut, or water can be provided in glasses which are biodegradable, as one of this same expirement was conducted in Bengaluru City where a person shared juices it the fruit itself,suppose guava , he took all the pulp out kepping skin untouched he made juice and served it in the skin many other fruits can work on same mechanism,even straw can be made out form biogegradable materials regards, Rutuparna Ratnakar Kulkarni Aurangabad(MH)

Respected PM JI, Here I tell a short story people are well known about cleaning they start cleaning at home level every human feels to clean himself & surrounding its a common factor but occasionally going outdoors they didn't develop how to keep away their used material like water 💦 bottle & waste materials they simply throw there which they came site visit to enjoying 😊 purpose of beaches 🌊 iwatching sceneries in mornings & Evenings sunlight & to swim.some famous beaches 🌊 are tourist places too. For ex: we observe Corporates level they maintain clean even there is lot of difference found in private & Government hospitals surrounding maintenance people says.Here I suggest 1) create jobs for jobless or extra income source activity to interested ones. 2)giving lease who have modern equipment to clean,invite startups cleaning it 3)create dump yards to lift Waste. 4)Make entry beach gates,Display clean & green posters ,big banners to educate & arrange drinking water facility.

Suggestions On many of our beach cleans we come across the remains of bonfires, either in the dunes or on the beach, sometimes these are no more than unburnt and blackened wood and other times they contain cans, bottles, bottle tops, screws, and nails (which were embedded in the burnt timber). These are obviously fires which have been lit directly on the sand and not in a reusable fire pit type device. The nails and broken glass obviously pose a health risk, it’s likely that cans etc. will be removed by beach cleaners or those responsible for looking after the beach but its not likely the charred wood and ash will be removed. The burnt wood and ash are not a natural part of the beach, dune or marine environment, and the area where the fire took place becomes, for some time, unusable for those wanting to use that area of the beach. We need to be conscious of leaving nothing but our footprints on the beach or in the dunes, this is obviously not the case when fires are lit
