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 Mr. Prime Minister It is quite true that beaches, since they are neglected and taken for granted, are now filled with all kinds of garbage. Ensuring that the beaches are cleaned and maintaining them is going to take tons of work, considering the country's vast coastline. My suggestion is that while the regulations such as bringing reusable bags, not littering, etc. are in the process of implementation (as it is being discussed by others in this forum), people can also be employed in cleaning these areas for the time being. I suggest this because imposing rules is a long process and in the meantime the beaches may become yet more polluted. People who are already working need not be employed by some campaign, programme, etc. There are many poor beggars in our country who try to get employed. These people can be employed to pick up litter under supervision. This method not only helps in cleaning the beaches but also helps in providing jobs to the people.

I think we must use the items such as reuseable work/garden gloves,water bottles,sunscreen and bug spray which helped in cleaning .Many policies were taken by government related to this topic and we must use that ideas that help in awaring people.

People should be fine for polluting the beaches. No plastic bags or kind of thing which can pollte the beaches should be allowed to take there. Paper bags or the material which can be easily decomposed should only be allowed to take with the people. •Teenagers and tudlers can play a very important role in cleaning the beaches so they should be incouraged to do so •They should be given points for doing this which can boost their interest in doing so.

Close all outlets to beach which throw waste water without screening and processing . Make screeing and processing of water compulsory at every outlet to ocean .

we can have Type mounted Dozer /JCB Type machinery which is used for Civil construction work, with little modification , like screen type bucket can be provided in fron of machinery, while do dozing all natural sand will go down, remaining solid or wastage part will be retained and it can be stored at at separate compartment for later disposal. This could be advantage of manpower not much required. Thank you. Murali krishnan 9345166732/ muralikrishnan17@yahoo.com

Dear Prime Minister,You have accepted many of our suggestions like IAS coaching and policy for the disabled,I am grateful to you for that and thank you sir.Now there is a request to you sir that you please pay attention to the middle class also because our parents work in private schools.In the last lockdown, he did not get his salary for 7 months,now he is getting less than half the salary.Sir, we also have some dreams, we also have to make a big contribution to the country, I have to go to the army, but you tell sir, parents, while in school from 7 am to 5 pm, there is no salary, not even your support, not even the heritage of ancestors.I would like to put in your information that you have the data offarmers'suicides, have we ever brought the data of the middle class, how many have died sir.Parents do not say, but we have a feeling that in what condition are we here, God forbid we start lockdown, but what will happen then sir?You will distribute to those who are not poor help me sir.

our beaches are getting dirtier and dirtier by the day.Picnicking on the beach is a common summer activity,and the huge rush of people who flock to the beach to enjoy a carefree dav usually never bother to look back on the debris that they leave behind.As a result, our beaches get pollute by trash, containing everything from gum wrapper to soda cans. Most of these items get carried away by sea during high tide, and since most of these things are made from non-biodegradable materials,they remain floating on the water for indefinite periods.This causes untold misery and even death to marine life,who either mistakenly ingest or get caught in object like plastic packet and aluminum cans. The best thing that we can do to keep our beaches clean is to take care of our belongings ourselves .It is alright to carry out a fully -fledged picnic on a warm summer day at the beach,but it is also our responsibility to clean up after ourselves
