evidence: The Indian Government has taken several initiatives to promote the growth and development of the fisheries sector in the country. The Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) - 'Blue Revolution: Integrated Development and Management of Fisheries' was launched in 2015-16 with an outlay of Rs 3000 crores for a period of 5 years. This scheme aimed to promote sustainable and responsible development of the fisheries sector and address critical gaps in the fisheries infrastructure. In 2018-19, the 'Fisheries and Aquaculture Infrastructure Development Fund' (FIDF) was created with a fund size of Rs. 7522.48 crores to provide concessional finance to the state/UT Governments, their entities, and the private sector for the development of fisheries infrastructure. In May 2020, the Indian Government launched a new flagship scheme called the 'Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana' (PMMSY) with an investment of Rs. 20,050 crore. The PMMSY scheme aims to bring about the Blue Revolution through sustainable and responsible development of the fisheries sector in the country. This scheme is being implemented for a period of five years from 2020-21 to 2024-25 in all States and UTs. As a result of these initiatives, the fisheries sector in India has shown impressive growth in recent years, with an average annual growth rate of about 10% during 2014-15 to 2018-19. Fish production has registered an average annual growth of more than 7% and stood at an alltime high of 141.64 lakh metric tons during 2019-20. Despite various issues faced by the sector during the Covid-19 pandemic, India has achieved an all-time high export of marine products worth US$ 7165 million during April to February 2021- 22.
