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.

Floating Robot Eliminating Debris technology vacuums and collects harmful debris from the ocean’s surface, while running on renewable energy. The flaps in the front of the device are able to collect large debris and transport them into a collection bin using a conveyer belt. FRED’s slow speed and built in sensors are able to keep marine life away during the collection.

WasteShark is a water drone with the goal of collecting debris before the winds, tides and currents carry it out into the ocean. It floats along the surface of the water collecting floating debris like plastic and bio-waste.
Its technology enables you to pre plan a route to ensure it covers the most concerning areas. It can also be operated using manual steering, as with any traditional drone. An added feature of WasteShark is its ability to read and send information regarding water qualities, like pH levels and salinity.

Develop innovative water wheel that captures trash in rivers, streams and harbors, and then turns it into electricity. It can clean up 38,000 pounds of trash daily and has prevented 1.6 million pounds of debris from entering the ocean thus far...
This technology is aimed at collecting debris and oil slicks. It uses a conveyor belt powered by solar panels to move the trash into a floating barge. When the trash reaches the barge, it is then converted into electricity. Because of its slow movement, any wildlife that comes near the machine has plenty of time to move out of harm’s way..

Anything that has the power to change a crowd's mindset, and make people aware of what needs immediate action, can only have a positive impact. Initiatives like Beach Warriors, Beach Please by volunteering or helping to spread the word.
The only long-term solution is that we live by the four Rs: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle. We must be more mindful of our use of plastic and recycle as much as we can at an individual level. Corporates should look for sustainable packaging alternatives and be held accountable for abusing plastic usage; and governments should put policies in place to curb plastic pollution..

आज की लाइफस्टाइल में प्लास्टिक (Plastic) हमारी जिंदगी का अहम हिस्सा बन गया है, ये जाने बिना ही कि इससे पर्यावरण के साथ साथ हमारी सेहत को कितना नुकसान होता है. वैसे तो सरकारें समय-समय प्लास्टिक के इस्तेमाल को कम करने के लिए हमें आगाह करती ही रहती है, लेकिन प्लास्टिक को लेकर सतर्कता हम ज्यादा दिन तक नहीं बरत पाते हैं. क्योंकि शायद हम प्लास्टिक के आदि हो चुके हैं. आज हमारे खाने-पीने का सामान हो, या फिर इधर-उधर ले जाने की कोई चीज, इन सभी कामों में हम प्लास्टिक के सामान काइस्तेमाल करते हैं!
डॉक्टर पर्व के अनुसार, प्लास्टिक की चीजें कई टॉक्सिक सब्सटेंस (toxic substance) से बनी होती है, जो मानव शरीर के लिए अच्छे नहीं है. इनमें लैड, सीसा, मरकरी और कैडवियम होता है, जिनके कॉन्टेक्ट में आते ही कई तरह की सीरियस डिजीज का रिस्क होता है. और अगर इसके डायरेक्ट संपर्क में आ गए, तो बर्थ डिसॉर्डर का खतरा पैदा हो जाता है. बर्थ डिसॉर्डर यानी मां से बच्चे को भी कुछ डिसॉर्डर होते हैं. इसे साधारण भाषा में ऐसे समझा जा सकता है कि पैदा होते

Naturally, we feel a little protective of our beaches. We’re shocked to see that some people don’t care as much about our beaches as we do. When we spot trash and debris littering our beloved beaches, it’s upsetting—not only because it damages the beauty of the beach, but also because it hurts the fragile ecosystems.

A proper sign board indicators mentioning " No plastic and any glass bottles to be carried out near beaches and sea shore. People who carry should be strictly punished by the law and with penalty". Aquatic animals and human have equal right to live on earth. A proper team members should be recruited for safety and cleaning. A vehicle of guards should be patrolled for safety of the visitors because beaches are mostly visited by tourist people. A beach should have amenities like parking, food stalls and benches and chairs of permanent and eco friendly for environment. Mainly drinking water filters are arranged saying no to water bottles..

There must be specific lane for hawkers far away like 1-2 km from the shore.

And parking must me 3-4 km apart including light weight and heavy vehicles.

Strict rules/ checking for no food items are allowed at shore.

There must be beach cabin, beach box or bathing box facility available at the beach.
