NCC Cadets Engage in 

"Puneet Sagar Abhiyan" at Azhikal Beach

On August 17, 2023, a team of 24 enthusiastic NCC cadets from TKMM College embarked on a mission to contribute to the cleanliness and preservation of our environment by participating in the flagship national campaign known as 'Puneet Sagar Abhiyan.' The initiative aimed to clean the beaches of plastic and other waste materials while raising awareness about the significance of maintaining cleanliness.

Objective:

The primary objective of the Puneet Sagar Abhiyan was to address the growing concern of plastic pollution and waste accumulation on beaches. By actively participating in this campaign, the NCC cadets aimed to not only clean up the Azhikal Beach but also inspire and educate the local community and visitors about the importance of keeping our natural habitats free from waste.

Event Details:

The event took place at Azhikal Beach, a serene coastal area known for its scenic beauty. The cadets, under the guidance of NCC instructors, organized a comprehensive clean-up drive. Armed with gloves, bags, and a strong determination to make a positive impact, the cadets combed through the beach area, collecting plastic waste, discarded materials, and debris.

The initiative received overwhelming support from the local community and passersby, who joined hands with the cadets in the cleaning effort. The collaborative spirit showcased the collective responsibility and commitment to environmental preservation.

Results and Achievements:

 During the Puneet Sagar Abhiyan at Azhikal Beach, the NCC cadets collected an impressive 18 bags of garbage, which were later properly segregated and deposited in the local municipality's designated waste disposal site. The waste included various forms of plastic, packaging materials, and other non-biodegradable items that posed a threat to the marine ecosystem.

Conclusion:

    The NCC cadets of TKMM College demonstrated a remarkable commitment to environmental stewardship by participating in the Puneet Sagar Abhiyan. Through their dedication and hard work, they not only cleaned up Azhikal Beach but also left a lasting impact on the local community by spreading awareness about the urgent need to protect our natural resources. This initiative stands as a testament to the power of collective action and the role of young individuals in shaping a cleaner and healthier future for our planet.
