It promotes innovative methods such as Biofloc and Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) to maximize fish production using minimal land and water resources. The establishment of freshwater hatcheries is also encouraged to boost inland fish production capacity. The scheme offers a 60% assistance norm for Scheduled Caste applicants.
