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.

The beach (Holydip place called AGNI THEERTHAM) of Hindu Temple Rameshwaram, Tamilnadu is visited by Hindu devotees mostly senior citizens from all over India along with the visit of Varanashi (Kasi) as their final visit just before their end of life to take Holy Dip in order to get rid of their sins as well as to pay tribute to their forefathers. The natural & geographical location of the above beach is formed almost like calm water similar to the Harbour protected by arrangements of the breakwater. There are no natural waves for the water to get recycled naturally and it is completely still water. Because of such natural formation of this AGNI THEERTHAM & daily continuous mass use by devotees, it almost changed like uncleaned STAGNATED DRAIN WITH A LOT OF FOUL SMELL. It is suggested to construct mass bathing places adjacent to the ocean by establishing mass water treatment plants with the raw water fed from AGNI THEERTHAM. This is the need of the hour than Hanuman Statue. Thanks.

Idea is to use semi automated trash bin implementing the ideas of ROV in a way to efficiently collect out waste using nets, bins mounting controlling them using GUI interface system. Secondly I would suggest to say create awareness in people to not use plastic materials, tin cans on sea shore. Using the new technology machines we can make out about lots of waste in a day only.

Great to see your enthusiasm Ian. Getting out there and picking up rubbish is great, but there’s an even bigger opportunity to run an event that both teaches participants about the issues of marine debris and how they can make changes on a personal level, as well as collect much needed data to inform future policies and management. This blog is for people who want to take those extra steps.

create vehicles that people can ride in beaches which can internally do cleaning of beaches. Riding these vehicles should be fun. but these vehicles will be designed with parts that will do the cleaning of the beach when it moves on the beaches. more cleaning a person does he gets awarded and ride cost is discounted.For example vehicles with mangetic under chasis or wheels that can collect metallic waste. vehicles with brushes that can pickup plastics.

First we need to educate people that our beaches are valuable resources and we should stop abusing them. Allow NGOs to conduct awareness programs and volunteer service to clean the beaches. Introduce heavy fines for unclean activities. Awareness that clean beaches bring more tourist and more revenue and better health to public.

I'm Pavithra as previous idea comment: When this type of cleansing abhyan is organised on trust fund ...both volunteer and the members or people will participate.Using this fund Govt can offer participation certificates or some Recanaitation for pertispents As well as every school and colleges can also be invited to participate in this abhyan. Hence this type of fund collection will create awareness of cleanliness among people and students/society for using non degradable product around beach

An cleansing abyan should be held every month at the beach by creating a trust with help of govt which can be funded by the visitor(tourist or residents etc)How it works:Every shop or venders/hotel near 1km of Beach premises who sell condiments and commodities should become a member of this trust and can collect the donation ex:if a customer buy an plastic bottle or🍨 with cover then he can be charged Rs.1extra on MRP.This type investment can be used for abyan every month.i have other ideas too
