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.

First, not just government and volunteers should take part in beach cleaning.. There should be waste bins for every 30-50m and each shop on the beach should have its own waste bin.There should be facilities to remove waste by the municipalities since beaches are crowded areas and waste bins get filled up quickly. Cleaning drive should be made more interesting making it more like a competition, where the people who collect the highest amount of waste will be given a medal/any reward.This should be done not just once, but every fortnight. And finally, people should change the mindset about littering in not just beaches but all public spaces..

1254040 LEENA WALAWALKAR17 hours 59 minutes ago We like clean beaches to sit and see the sunrise and sunset, jog or run or walk. India has many beaches as its three sides are covered with oceans the Bay of Bengal in the East, the Arabian Sea in the West and the Indian ocean to the South. We can make many tourist attractions on the beaches if they are clean. There should be awareness of cleanliness made , people should be strictly punished and fined for putting waste on the beach or making it dirty. There should be no pollution of land on the beach and in water. Garbage should be put in dustbins and cleaned every eight hours by concerned authorities. There may be poster regarding cleanliness after every half km. There must be police and CC TV cameras (Closed Circuit TV ). People should be made aware of their responsibilities regarding keeping the beach clean and its benefits to them.

Beach cleaning activity is a great way to bring the members of our community to revive our beaches. However, people are hesitant to be a part of it. To make this an active and functioning event, a reward system will work well. Humans crave rewards and implementing them in activities ensure participation. The idea is to involve a non- profit organisation with the activity. For each rag or piece of plastic that is picked from the beach, 1 rupee will be donated to the NGO. People will start feeling like they have worked for two important causes. This reward will stick with them and the activity will gain popularity.

A beach clean up process needs a lots of work and site coordinator . Don't allow plastic bags inside and don't sell things using plastic . Conduct awareness camp to ensure the proper guidelines of maintaining the beach 🏖️.The place where we spent our weekend is to maintain properly . So clean the surrounding , it makes keeps ur mind fresh and clean .

Residents who are residing close to the beach should form a committee that held campaigns to clean the beachside every weekend. This is voluntary work where citizens will be involved and tourist people can also be a part of it too. In this way, both tourists and citizens will be involved in the activity and more awareness is created.

Govt should Plan to have Mangrove forest neat Beach Areas across all Coastal States in India. Benefits: 1) Mangrove forests capture massive amounts of carbon dioxide emissions and other greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, and then trap and store them in their carbon-rich flooded soils. This is an important ecosystem service as we face climate change. 2) Mangroves are important to the ecosystem too. Their dense roots help bind and build soils and prevent Soil Erosion from Coastal Areas, 3) Red Mangrove roots are ideal for oysters, which can attach to the portion of the roots that hang into the water. Endangered species such as the Smalltooth Sawfish, Manatee, Sea Turtle rely on this habitat during some stage of their life cycle. 4) Mangrove forests provide nature experiences for people such as birding, fishing, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, and the therapeutic calm and relaxation that comes from enjoying peaceful time in nature.

मूलभूत कणों को बेसिक बुनियादी चीजों को हम ध्यान ही नहीं दे पाते भ्रष्टाचार करप्शन चलता रहता है सिस्टम सुधरता नहीं है घटनाएं लगातार बढ़ती चली जाती और दूसरी बात यह है सबसे महत्वपूर्ण कि निलंबित पदच्युत पद मुक्त की कार्यवाही कार चलती रहे तो लोग सुधर ते रहे सिस्टम अच्छा होता है लेकिन ऐसा लगता है कि नियम कानून का पालन करना करवाना अधिकारियों को अच्छा नहीं लगता यही वजह है कि अपराधों की संख्या निरंतर लगातार बढ़ती चली जा रही इसके लिए क्या सेंट्रल गवर्नमेंट की कौन सी बल है या राज्य सरकार का गृह मंत्रालय?
