PUNEET SAGAR ABHIYAN
In New Delhi, Rajnath Singh, the defence minister, oversaw the signing of an MOU between the National Cadet Corps (NCC) and the UNEP.
A Memorandum of Understanding was inked to use the Tide Turners Plastic Challenge programme and the Puneet Sagar Abhiyan to combat plastic pollution and achieve the objective of clean water bodies.
It aims to coordinate initiatives to involve young people in promoting clean water bodies.
The Puneet Sagar Abhiyan was introduced by the NCC on December 1st, 2017. The campaign's objectives are to rid seashores of plastic and other trash and raise public awareness of how important cleanliness is.
More than 12 million NCC cadets, alumni, and volunteers have collected over 100 tonnes of plastic debris from approximately 1,900 places since the start of the Puneet Sagar Abhiyan.
