This budget is an initiative to realise the vision of the Prime Minister to double our fish production.
Owing to its massive coastline of over 8,000 km and a vast network of rivers, fisheries have always played a significant role in India s economy. Currently, this sector provides livelihood to more than 2.8 crore people within the country. Nevertheless, this is a sector with untapped potential.

The present budget has taken effective steps towards addressing the challenges and optimizing the potential of this sector.
