As part of various initiatives and activities planned by Indian Navy to commemorate World Environment Day 2023, Beach Cleanup and Plantation drives were undertaken by ENC on 05 Jun 2023 in all coastal states on East seaboard. The events witnessed very large participation of Naval, DSC and Defence Civilian personnel along with their family members. The objective of beach cleanup drive was to educate all personnel, their family members and other citizens about accumulation and negative impact of garbage/ waste along coastlines and beaches, along with measures to mitigate the same. Washed off debris and plastic waste were collected, segregated and handed over for safe disposal. The plantation drives carried out in all naval stations further affirmed Indian Navy's commitment towards preservation of environment and Go Green concept. Teachers and Students from KV participated by planting saplings in school premises. The outreach activities undertaken by ENC to strengthen Mission LiFE initiative of GoI commenced with LiFE Pledge taking ceremony. This was followed by activities which included Blood Donation Camp, Awareness Seminars, Bicycle rallies, tree plantation drives, beach cleaning and other environment friendly initiatives.
