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.

हमारे देश के समुद्री तट के आस-पास जितने सामग्री उत्पादन उद्योग है उन्हें अपने प्रॉडक्ट को पॉलीथिन रहित पैकिंग का इस्तेमाल करना चाहिए , और अपने कस्टमर्स को कूड़े को डस्टबीन में डालने को भी कहे l

Sir , It would be better to establish plastic/garbage recycle unit near by beach ,rag pickers and volunteer should get free drinking water bottle for their contribution. And By-product of these plastic material can be used for Beach park development, renovation, pathways,dust-bin many more.Cotributors also feel proud to proud for making their positive contribution!!..The main challenge is we are tend to see solution far-away from problem but problem has its solution nearby. Jai Hind,SIR.

Dividing the Coast line into equal strips with visible marking and assigning the concerned only to clean their area. This way no body would be overloaded. Whatever might be the pace of work, their part of line should be cleaned within the stipulated time. Encouraging a reward to those who have kept their allotted areas clean throughout the week, fortnight or month by periodically checking their updates. Ask the workerd6 to share pictures of their cleaned area on a daily basis to the team deployed to inspect the same. Keep easily cleanable and inexpensive dustbins which cannot be easily taken away. To fine those found dirtying the beached and coasts. Reusable and biodegradable items to be made available handy instead of plastic water bottles and containers. A road roller like machine with minimal noise could be run at regular intervals which can collect all the sand along with garbage or waste products from its front like JCB and sieve back only the sand to shore with technology.

"Canine-to-Clean" Day ----------------------------------- Why not make our pet animals part of beach clean up every now and then and bring fun and change to this activity? Surely lots of dog owners walk their dogs on the beaches. Also dogs can pick things up. Let us have a "'Canine-to-Clean' the beach" day for dog owners and dogs to participate as a team. Award the most agile and most trash picker dog. Suggestions for awarding the dog star are as follows. 'Svana of Marina - Sep 2022' 'Sirius of Elliots - Sep 2022' Cheers.. Sridevi

N.Inbalagan plastic usage in any way and for any purpose should be banned in the beaches. No shops ...stalls should be allowed in the beaches. All such shops ...stalls should be allowed along the roadside only ,away from the beach. Big size dustbins must be erected in the required quantity in the beach and periodical clearing system has to be created.

You should find always root cause, why it is happening, some body throwing and cleaning required, but if some body not throwing, cleaning not required, we should concentrate throwing person and system should be there for proper disposing to avoid cleaning activities

The Primary target of Namami Tate would be to free the beaches from the menace of plastics. More than local people, many of whom have economic interest in keeping the beach clean, it is the tourists that do most of the damage. To make the tourists sensitized to the issue, every hotel thriving on such tourists must display at the back-wall of the Reception Counter, the rules to be followed while enjoying the beach. Along with the key of the allotted room, a card containing a list of restrictions in using the beach must be handed over to the tourist. Inside the room the same notice would be displayed. Every hotel must have a counter to sell low-cost bio-degradable bags and plates/glasses to the tourists for taking to the beach and after use, dropping them at a designated place. A few environment-conscious volunteers may by turns do beach-watching to discourage violation of the rules. Such voluntary work should be officially acknowledged and rewarded from time to time.
