On the occasion of World Environment Day 2025, the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to environmental protection by launching a series of impactful eco-initiatives across all its stations, districts, and regional headquarters nationwide. Focused on this year’s theme of ‘Combating Plastic Pollution,’ ICG conducted various activities including coastal clean-up drives, awareness campaigns, walkathons, plastic waste removal efforts, community interaction programmes, and tree plantation drives.

To amplify awareness, the ICG organised educational sessions highlighting the importance of marine biodiversity, the consequences of marine pollution, and the need for sustainable environmental practices. Emphasising community engagement, the events witnessed enthusiastic participation from school children, NGOs, local residents, volunteers, and other stakeholders, particularly along coastal areas.

The ICG’s initiatives underline its proactive role in marine conservation and its alignment with national and global environmental goals working towards a cleaner, greener, and healthier planet for future generations.
