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.

Beach cleaning is the important topic that today's generation should be aware. we should bring knowledge regarding this to young generation and for the future generation. The parents should also know that we should maintain some discipline for their children. we should train the future generation to put garbages in garbage tin and should not disturb the environment. let us hope for the better future

Get volunteers by asking your network of friends and family. collect beach trash to make the beach a nicer, safer place and also to improve the coastal and ocean ecosystem. plan for handling hazardous waste Determine how you’ll dispose of any medical and sewage waste you might find. One solution: A wide-mouth container with a tight-fitting lid, such as an empty laundry detergent bottle. Clearly label that it contains hazardous waste.

Stay away from plastic bags! Instead of using plastic bags to bring your snacks, use reusable bags and containers.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.Don’t smoke! Cigarette butts are the leading pollutant on our beaches and there are many negative effects that come from the cigarettes in our water. If you have the urge to smoke, be sure to dispose of the entire cigarette butt appropriately.

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 clean up 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.Beach cleaners are machines that remove unwanted materials from beaches and make them comfortable and visually pleasing for beach-goers. Various beach cleaners can be used to effectively remove litter, sharp shells, glass, rock, and excessive seaweed from the beaches. Beach cleaners come in all shapes and sizes. The most popular kinds are tractor-towed and powered by a tractor's hydraulic PTO shaft. Smaller walk-behind models are also manufactured for private beaches and sandy areas. Of all available styles of beach cleanser.

1.People who are carrying plastic bags should be banned at the entrance and instruct them to use cloth bags. 2.Shops inside the beach must use eco-friendly plates and packages . 3.Increase the number of dustbins. 4.Heavy penalty(Rs.2000)must be collected for every single garbage they throw in the beach. 5.Make awareness about the importance of keeping the environment (beach)clean. 5.After implement these factors,we can use robots as optional not for permanent solution because we all are have the responsibility to keep the beach clean.

My suggestion are: 1. Dustbin should be increased by one in 5 meters. 2. As we know that sweepers are doing their work good but keeping our public place clean and neat is also our duty as a proud Indian. 3. Awareness camps to the people should be done by the young students. 4. Awareness camps is not only a best solution,but also everyone should start from their doorsteps. 5. As we know that India is a young growing nation,the every youngsters should be learned these habits in their school days.
