Not met yet — counts as met once you answer a question on it.
India's marine and inland fisheries sector is governed through the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY), the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, and the Fisheries and Aquaculture Infrastructure Development Fund (FIDF). It links to the Blue Economy, aquaculture regulation, and export earnings through marine products via MPEDA. The sector contributes to farmer income, food and nutritional security, and rural livelihoods, while facing challenges of over-fishing, climate vulnerability, and post-harvest losses.
