Visakhapatnam, May 13, 2025 – In a remarkable display of civic responsibility, the 2025 Vizag Beach Clean-Up Drive witnessed an overwhelming turnout of citizens, volunteers, and NGOs who united for a common cause—a cleaner and greener coastline for Vizag.
Organized by the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) in collaboration with several environmental NGOs and student groups, the clean-up drive spanned across RK Beach, Rushikonda, Yarada, and Bheemili beaches. The event not only focused on collecting litter but also on spreading awareness about plastic pollution and marine conservation.
🔹 A United Front for a Cleaner Vizag
Early in the morning, hundreds of volunteers gathered with gloves and trash bags, cleaning up plastic waste, glass bottles, wrappers, and other non-biodegradable materials. This year's campaign stood out due to:
-
Participation from over 2,500 volunteers

Support from schools, colleges, tech companies, and resident welfare associations
-
Awareness camps conducted by eco-groups such as Green Vizag Foundation and Youth for Earth
🔹 Government’s Role and Commitment
The GVMC Commissioner, addressing the media, highlighted the importance of such initiatives:
“Our beaches are Vizag’s identity. We urge citizens to treat them with the same respect they give their homes. We will continue such drives every quarter.”
GVMC also announced plans to:
-
Install more dustbins along beaches
-
Launch a mobile app for reporting beach pollution
-
Conduct monthly clean-up schedules with citizen participation
🔹 Environmental Impact and Public Reaction
Experts have noted a 20% reduction in beach waste compared to the previous year. Social media buzzed with support under hashtags like #CleanVizag #VizagForNature. Many locals expressed pride and pledged to participate in upcoming drives.
Residents like Kiran Kumar, a local entrepreneur, shared:
