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.

Trash on the beach can be unsightly, but when it washes into the ocean, it becomes life-threatening for marine wildlife and harmful to humans, too. If you're looking to make a difference, hosting a beach cleanup is a great way to make the ocean safe and pleasant for both animals and people. You'll need to plan well and recruit volunteers that are just as passionate as you are, but the clean beach you see afterwards will be worth it all. Choose a beach that's convenient and in need of a cleanup. Go online or check in with your local parks and recreation department to see what beaches are most in need of help. Pick a date that's in early spring or late fall. The best time to plan your beach cleanup is either right before summer beach-going season, or right afterwards, so aim for a time around then if possible. Try to pick a day when your volunteers will be free, like on a weekend, and at a time when the beach will be empty, like early in the morning.

It was a decision of Government of India taken in 1984 to celebrate the birthday of great Swami Vivekananda, i.e. 12 National Youth Day, also known as anuary, as National Youth Day every year. The Government of India quoted that 'the philosophy of Swamiji and the ideals for which he lived and worked could be a great source of inspiration for the Indian Youth Day.'[2] On 12 January 2013, Former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh told in his address at the inauguration of four-year-long celebrations of Swami Vivekananda's 150th birth anniversary:[3] What Gandhiji said captures the great importance of spreading Swami Vivekananda's ideas and ideals among the youth in our country today. He personified the eternal energy of the youth and their restless quest for truth. It is entirely fitting that the Government of India has declared 12th January, the birthday of Swami Vivekananda, as National Youth Day. We must work to rekindle the eternal message of this great patriot and son of India.

Conducting all institutions, Hotels, companies.to get opportunity to clean the beaches in pattern of there working days. Communication is important in daily life by Heads of department and to way out as a social work which creates every individual to learn responsibility. Hotels, beach shakes, and all traders who are working and giving jobs to take responsibility to clean those areas. Administration has to put cameras to keep eye and to fine every individual who will not take care. State Government has to give prizes or making all to be the part of governance as in other countries they do. Swach Bharat Abhiyan should be made compulsory at all level of responsibility. Local Administration has to be given all concerned responsibility along adding up the cleaning of beaches. Lets move on with New India. Thanks Sir Modi. Your way has made us feel safe. Great to greatest and best to wonderful life only you can make it. We at this level, you have given opportunity to give suggestions. Thanks

Stay away from plastic bags! Instead of using plastic bags to bring your snacks, use reusable bags Bring a trash bag with you to make sure you throw everything away; that way trash won’t be buried in the sand throughout the day or left when you leave. If you are walking along the beach and see trash or cans/bottles, safely pick them up and throw them away. Make a game with your friends and family on who can gather the most cans. Whoever wins, gets to keep the money when you cash them in! Switch over to reusable water bottles, instead of single-use plastic bottles (this can make a huge difference each day). Instead of making this weekend focused around eating and drinking, make it about socializing and physical activity. Play some Frisbee! If you are allowed to have bonfires at the beach, refrain from burning your trash, especially plastics. Also, make sure the fire is fully out before you leave. If you have pets, pick up after them, so nobody will experience stepping in

Participating in a beach cleanup is a great way to have an immediate positive impact on the environment. By removing trash before it infiltrates our inland and coastal waters, you are helping protect the ocean and marine life from harmful marine debris. Cleanup volunteers collect, identify, and quantify trash to help us understand its origins and composition. This data informs our science, education, and advocacy work to support healthier communities and a cleaner environment. Ways to be opted to keep beach clean are: • Host a partner cleanup challenge • Become a sponsor • Aware people to keep their locality Clean • New treatment plants will be launched • New polices should be launched regarding this and people must has to follow that. & We all has to understand that "Cleanliness is the door to healthy life" So keep your environment clean as its our duty to protect Nature and Natural Resources so that we all could enjoy a happy and better lifestyle.

I will suggest government to take initiatives for cleaning 🧹 the beaches and other water bodies. I really appreciate that government had started taking initiatives to clean the beaches These are some ideas which may contribute * There should be a site coordinator for regularity for cleaning the beaches * Line up different organisations * Tourist visiting the beach should carry their on trash bags Planning different recyclable methods initiatives are the stairs for cleaning beaches as these little steps not only help our environment but also marine animals who are most effected.

Being strict with the actions of throwing litter, spitting etc. boards or banners should be arranged and actions must be taken to discipline people.... rules should be arranged for beach...life guards itself can guard keeping an eye nobody breaks rules of beach... and spreading awareness:) everyone who are reading this....just imagine the india with no litter on road...it's not govt. it's about your lifestyle it will get better

Giving certificates and medals is a way that boosts the spirit of individual to do more better next time. So in my views giving authorised certificate to a participant in cleaning campaign will boost his/her spirit to clean environment and such certificates will always boost their duties being a citizen of India.. This idea must be tried.. thank you for reading
