Ministry of Earth Sciences Government of India - incoismoes Small Vessel Advisory and Forecast Service (SVAS) is enhancing fisherfolk safety at sea through impact-based forecasts and early warnings for small vessels operating in Indian coastal waters.

The service provides overturning risk forecasts up to 10 days in advance, Boat Safety Index (BSI)-based advisories, and vessel-specific guidance tailored to different beam width categories.

By supporting marine safety, disaster preparedness, and informed decision-making, SVAS plays a vital role in protecting fishing communities across India’s coastal states and UTs.

Every sustainable choice today helps build a cleaner tomorrow.

Choosing a jute bag instead of a plastic bag is a simple yet impactful step towards reducing plastic pollution, protecting ecosystems, and promoting a more sustainable way of life. Small actions, when adopted collectively, can create lasting environmental change.

This World Environment Day, let us embrace eco-friendly alternatives and reaffirm our commitment to a greener, healthier, and more sustainable future.

Choose wisely. Carry sustainably. Safeguard our environment. 🌱

Small changes make a big impact.

By choosing sustainable wooden cutlery over single-use plastic, we actively protect our environment and support a healthier planet.

Opting for wood is a better choice for Earth, as it helps reduce waste and preserves our natural resources for future generations.

Let’s commit to these simple, eco-friendly habits today to ensure a greener, more sustainable tomorrow.
