Pradhan
Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana
The
Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) is a flagship scheme for focused
and sustainable development of fisheries sector in the country with an estimated
investment of Rs. 20,050 crores for its implementation during a period of 5
years from FY 2020-21 to FY 2024-25 in all States/Union Territories, as a part
of AatmaNirbhar Bharat Package. The investment of Rs. 20,050 crores under PMMSY
is the highest ever in the fisheries sector. Out of this, an investment of
about Rs 12340 crores is proposed for beneficiary-oriented activities in
Marine, Inland fisheries and Aquaculture and about Rs 7710 crores investment
for Fisheries Infrastructure.
PMMSY
aims at enhancing fish production by an additional 70 lakh tonne by 2024-25,
increasing fisheries export earnings to Rs.1,00,000 crore by 2024-25, doubling
of incomes of fishers and fish farmers, reducing post-harvest losses from
20-25% to about 10% and generation of additional 55 lakhs direct and indirect
gainful employment opportunities in fisheries sector and allied activities.
PMMSY is
designed to address critical gaps in fish production and productivity, quality,
technology, post-harvest infrastructure and management, modernization and
strengthening of value chain, traceability, establishing a robust fisheries
management framework and fishers’ welfare. While aiming to consolidate the
achievements of Blue Revolution Scheme, PMMSY envisages many new
interventions such as fishing vessel insurance, support for new/up-gradation of
fishing vessels/boats, Bio-toilets, Aquaculture in saline/alkaline areas,
Sagar Mitras, FFPOs/Cs, Nucleus Breeding Centres, Fisheries and
Aquaculture start-ups, Incubators, Integrated Aqua parks, Integrated coastal
fishing villages development, Aquatic Laboratories Network and Extension
Services, Traceability, Certification and Accreditation, RAS, Biofloc &
Cage Culture, E-Trading/Marketing, Fisheries Management Plans, etc.
PMMSY
scheme primarily focuses on adopting ‘Cluster or Area based approaches’ and
creation of Fisheries clusters through backward and forward linkages. Special
focus will be given for employment generation activities such as seaweed and
ornamental fish cultivation. It emphasizes on interventions for quality brood,
seed and feed, special focus on species diversification, critical
infrastructure, marketing networks etc.
As of
now, under PMMSY the Department of Fisheries has approved Rs 1723 crores worth
of proposals for 21 States/UTs in phase-I. Priority has been accorded for
income generating activities under PMMSY.
PMMSY in
Bihar envisages an investment of Rs.1390 crore with Central Share of Rs. 535
crore and the additional fish production target pegged at 3 lakh tons. During
the current financial year (2020-21), Government of India has sanctioned the
proposal of Government of Bihar at a total project cost of Rs.107.00 crore
for major components like establishment of Re-circulatory Aquaculture
System (RAS), construction of Biofloc ponds for aquaculture, finfish
hatcheries, construction of new ponds for aquaculture, Ornamental fish culture
units, installation of Cages in reservoirs/wetlands, Ice plants, refrigerated
vehicles, motor cycle with ice box, three wheeler with ice box, cycle with ice
box, fish feed plants, extension and support services (Matsya Seva Kendra),
establishment of a Brood Bank, etc.
Other
inaugurations related to Fisheries sector
Prime
Minister will announce the establishment of Fish Brood Bank at Sitamarhi, and
of Aquatic Disease Referral Laboratory at Kishanganj, for which assistance has
been provided under PMMSY. These facilities will help in enhancing production
and productivity of fish by ensuring timely availability of quality and
affordable fish seed for the fish farmers and address the need for disease
diagnosis as well as water and soil testing facilities.
He will
inaugurate one-unit fish feed mill at Madhepura and two units of ‘Fish on
Wheels’ assisted at Patna under Blue Revolution. He will also interact with the
beneficiaries on the occasion.
Prime
Minister will also inaugurate the Comprehensive Fish Production Technology
Centre at Dr. Rajendra Prasad Central Agricultural University, Pusa, Bihar. The
Center, with facilities for Seed production technology and demonstration unit
technology for fish, referral laboratory and diagnostic testing, will
facilitate in boosting fish production and assist in capacity building of fish
farmers.
e-Gopala
App
e-Gopala
App is a comprehensive breed improvement marketplace and information portal for
direct use of farmers. At present no digital platform is available in the
country for farmers managing livestock including buying and selling of disease
free germplasm in all forms (semen, embryos, etc); availability of quality
breeding services (Artificial Insemination, veterinary first aid, vaccination,
treatment etc) and guiding farmers for animal nutrition, treatment of animals
using appropriate ayurvedic medicine/ethno veterinary medicine. There is no
mechanism to send alerts (on due date for vaccination, pregnancy diagnosis,
calving etc) and inform farmers about various government schemes and campaigns
in the area. The e-Gopala App will provide solutions to farmers on all these
aspects.
Other
inaugurations related to Animal Husbandry sector
Prime
Minister will inaugurate Semen Station with state of the art facilities, which
has been established under Rashtriya Gokul Mission in Purnea, Bihar with an
investment of Rs 84.27 crores on 75 acres of land made available by the State
Government of Bihar. This is one of the largest semen stations in the
government sector with production capacity of 50 lakh semen doses per annum.
This Semen Station will also give new dimension to development and conservation
of indigenous breeds of Bihar and meet demand of semen doses of eastern and
north eastern States.
Prime
Minister will inaugurate IVF lab established at Animal Sciences University,
Patna under Rashtriya Gokul Mission. A total of 30 ETT and IVF laboratories are
being set up across the country through 100% grant in aid. These labs are
crucial for propagating elite animals of indigenous breeds and thereby
enhancing milk production and productivity manifold.
Prime
Minister will also launch use of sex sorted semen in artificial insemination
under Rashtriya Gokul Mission by Baroni Milk Union in Begusarai district of
Bihar. Through use of sex sorted semen in AI, only female calves can be
produced (with more than 90% accuracy). This will help double the growth rate
of milk production in the country. Prime Minister will also launch a
demonstration of IVF technology at farmer's doorstep. This will propagate the
technology for multiplication of high yielding animals at a faster rate as
through use of technology they can give birth to 20 calves in a year.
