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.

CHOOSE A LOCATION for identifying the area we want to clean and make sure there will be a trash bin to collect! Make sure it is safe, and accessible and that we are allowed to be there. Identify possible hazards such as busy roads, power lines, rocky/slippery areas, or high tides and overcome these by changing location or fully preparing the volunteers with a thorough briefing. Identify where we will have your assembly point, trash collection point, and your first aid station. DECIDE HOW MANY TEAMS OF VOLUNTEERS YOU WILL NEED TO CLEAN THE SITE viz. two volunteers to hold the trash bag and other volunteers to collect trash. PROMOTE YOUR BEACH CLEANUP by contacting everyone who wants to be involved such as our friends, family members, office colleagues, etc. To help boost numbers, encourage offices to ask their employees to participate along with encouraging their guests, other local businesses, and community members to join in, specially children.

Prevention is better than cure: We must make every attempt to prevent the garbage from reaching the sea. This will stop our worries about how to clean the beaches. We must have small task forces at every village/town to prevent people from dumping garbage into the streams and rivers. We also must keep an eye on the sewages. They should not be let to drain into the rivers. The non govt bodies and volunteers can be rewarded for trying to keep the rivers/streams at their place clean. The "water heroes contest" is a good move by the government. Just like that more competitions should involve youth in cleaning the local water bodies flowing towards the ocean. I think if we start cleaning the beaches without preventing the garbage getting into the rivers, it will be a tiresome, never ending process. So let us treat the root cause of this garbage dumping disease in our country! Jai hind!

namaskar one and all my discussion is first we need unity in all branches to do work. And about this innovation, create games on cleaning to visitors because they are coming to enjoying beaches and give awareness, and also give gifts for winning the game. I think so many peoples are true to the best and most importantly the best for all if we give Rights with out stopping the result will be end less. jai hind

Cleaning should start from our home, then only our nature became clean.... avoid all type plastic covers of food items like biscuit cover,chips cover..etc.. such items.. teach all schools about how to discard waste products and separate tell them to practice at home and assignment for daily activities ,and congrats them to improve cleaning.such this way we can remedy throwing plastics and wastes.

We all i guess talked about keeping dustbin everywhere in beaches and try not to throw any waste in beaches or sea/ocean water especially plastic. so , a common thing i will like to add is, let's take fine (start from 1000INR) who ever throw waste in beach and try banning plastic in every shop near beach, this way the plastic would be less as plastic is non-biodegradable.

आज हमें स्कूली शिक्षा में, समुद्री विज्ञान को भी शामिल करना चाहिए।जब समुद्र तट पर जाते हैं। वहां पर हमें केवल जल का धुआं ही धुआं दिखलाई देता है।आज हमें समुद्र तटों पर निगरानी रखना चाहिए।जो कि कोई अनैतिक गतिविधियों को रोका जा सके। और समुद्र तट पर किसी भी प्रकार की गंदगी को फ़ैलाने से पहले ही रोका जा सके।
