On World Environment Day, Indian Navy Announces New Green Initiative
Over the years, the Indian armed forces, including its tri-services and paramilitary, have taken several initiatives to protect the environment.
On the occasion of
World Environment Day, the Indian Navy on Monday announced the launch of
Mission LiFE (LiFEStyle for Environment), a campaign focusing on "living sustainably in harmony with nature".
According to a statement from the country's
blue water force, the Indian Navy has given priority to incorporating "
cleaner and greener practices" among its personnel and in the organization.
Among the actions taken in this regard are "energy savings through the use of occupancy sensors and automatic controllers, reduced vehicular pollution through the emphasis on e-vehicles, observing no-vehicle day within Naval establishments, and introduction of a Public Bicycle Sharing System."
In addition, the Indian Navy has put in place enhanced water conservation measures, collection, and distribution of unutilized household items, books, etc. through designated Meri "LiFE" Centres.
"In keeping with the vision of the 'Clean India Campaign', the Indian Navy has initiated a nationwide campaign under the program Puneet Sagar Abhiyaan (PSA)," a statement from the Navy reads. "The campaign focuses on cleaning the seashores/ beaches of plastic and other waste and increasing awareness about the importance of keeping them clean, serene and pristine."
Overall, 78,700 kgs of plastic waste has been removed from 58 beaches across the country while cleaning of 2100 km of coastline was done in the last 12 months, the Navy concluded.
With India focusing on reducing its carbon footprint, the Indian armed forces have been taking the green plunge in recent years.
Last November, the Indian Army through its "Go-Green Initiative" signed an agreement with the private sector firm Tata Power, to set up
electric vehicle charging stations in Delhi.
Before that, the army had announced that it would replace 48 and 38 percent of its motorcycle and bus fleet with electric vehicles.
