Eight Indian beaches have got an International Blue Flag Certification, informed Union Minister of Environment, Forest and Climate Change Prakash Javadekar on Sunday (October 11, 2020).
The Blue Flag is reportedly a certification that a beach, marina or sustainable boating tourism operator meets its standards.
India is now in the league of 50 ‘BLUE FLAG’ countries and is planning to take this journey forward to 100 such beaches in the country in the next five years.
