Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana
The PMMSY aims to bring about the Blue Revolution through sustainable and responsible development of the fisheries sector in India.
It has an estimated investment of Rs. 20,050 crores for its implementation during a period of 5 years from FY 2020-21 to FY 2024-25 in all States/UTs, as a part of AatmaNirbhar Bharat Package.
PMMSY aims at enhancing fish production by an additional 70 lakh tonne by 2024-25, increasing fisheries export earnings to Rs.1,00,000 crore by 2024-25.
Thus it aims doubling of incomes of fishers and fish farmers, reducing post-harvest losses from 20-25% to about 10% and generation of gainful employment opportunities in the sector.
Aims and objectives of PMMSY
Harnessing of fisheries potential in a sustainable, responsible, inclusive and equitable manner
Enhancing of fish production and productivity through expansion, intensification, diversification and productive utilization of land and water
Modernizing and strengthening of the value chain – post-harvest management and quality improvement
Doubling fishers and fish farmers incomes and generation of employment
Enhancing contribution to Agriculture GVA and exports
Social, physical and economic security for fishers and fish farmers
Robust fisheries management and regulatory framework
Implementation strategy
The PMMSY will be implemented as an umbrella scheme with two separate components namely:
(a) Central Sector Scheme and
(b) Centrally Sponsored Scheme
Majority of the activities under the Scheme would be implemented with the active participation of States/UTs.
A well-structured implementation framework would be established for the effective planning and implementation of PMMSY.
For optimal outcomes, ‘Cluster or area-based approach’ would be followed with requisite forward and backward linkages and end to end solutions.
