SNC observed International Coastal Cleanup Day along with Swachhhata Hi Seva campaign on 21 September 2024 as part of cleanliness drive across all Naval training establishments. A focussed approach was adopted on clearance of debris, plastics and non-bio degradable waste from beach fronts, waterfronts, shoreline and coasts promoting a cleaner and healthier marine ecosystem. More than 1000 Naval personnel and families undertook clean-up drives at various locations and coast of Kochi city. Over a period of time, SNC Parivaar has been actively contributing towards community clean-up of water bodies, mass coastal cleanliness drives including implementation of water conservation practices. The aim of the clean-up activities is to create awareness amongst the local populace about the importance of preserving and protecting our ocean and waterways, and address the challenge of increasing pollution on the beaches and coastal areas. As part of awareness campaign, Webinar on marine environment, Poster making competition and Environmental Quiz were conducted in various schools. Similar coastal clean-up drives, pledge taking ceremony and lectures/ webinars/competitions were undertaken at other outstation Naval training units
