It is a programme to enable holistic development and management of fisheries sector in India. The mission aims to achieve the target to enhance fisheries production from 10.79 mmt (2014-15) to 15 mmt by 2020-21 under the Blue Revolution.
Program:
- Government has identified 20 States based on their potential and other relevant factors to strengthen the Fish Fingerling production and Fish Seed infrastructure in the country.
- This program will facilitate the establishment of Fingerling rearing pond and hatcheries.
- This will converge in the production of 20 lakh tonnes of fish annually, which will in turn benefit about 4 million families.
- The implementation of this program will supplement the requirement of stocking materials in the country up to a large extent, which is a much needed input to achieve the enhanced fish production.
