Realizing the immense scope for development of Fisheries, the government has heralded 'Blue Revolution' in this sector. Accordingly, an umbrella scheme namely ‘Blue Revolution' has been formulated by merging all the ongoing schemes in this sector.

Integrated development of the entire fisheries sector has been made easy by consolidating inland and marine fisheries under the “Blue Revolution’ scheme. Main focus of this scheme is to increase fish production from aquaculture by introduction of advanced technologies and through utilization of vast fishery resources available in the country. The government has launched Neel Kranti Mission to increase production of fish in the inland and marine sector by 2020.

Government will provide subsidies for fish farming to develop the fisheries sector as a modern industry. The Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying & Fisheries has set a goal to triple export earning of fish by 2020 by focusing on various points of fisheries and marine sector.
