Measures were implemented to ensure absolute stoppage of single-use plastic, and recycling of solid waste within the establishment.

Community participation sessions were conducted by service personnel and defence civilian employees, as well as their family members, to clean and preserve the flora and fauna in and around INS Shivaji.
