Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana

The Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana aims to increase fish production by rearing fish in reservoirs and providing employment to individuals involved in inland fisheries activities. The scheme seeks to accelerate inland fish farming in freshwater bodies, enhance fish production, and boost the inland fisheries sector. A primary objective is to create employment opportunities for beneficiaries from scheduled castes and scheduled tribes in the state while increasing overall fish production. The scheme promotes innovative methods such as Biofloc and Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) to achieve higher fish yields in limited land and water resources. Additionally, the establishment of freshwater hatcheries is encouraged to further enhance inland fish production capacity. The scheme offers a 60% assistance norm specifically for the Scheduled Tribe category.

• Subsidy for fish farming activities
• Financial assistance for establishing fish tanks and hatcheries
• Employment opportunities for scheduled castes and scheduled tribes

Any individual involved in fishing activities can apply. There are no specific educational or income limits.
