Abstract

Fisheries and aquaculture sector is an important source of food production, nutrition security, employment, income and foreign exchange. This promising sector provides livelihood, employment and entrepreneurship to more than 2.8 crore fishers and fish farmers at the primary level and several lakhs along the value chain. Over the last decade, it has been the endeavour of the Department to address challenges and on-ground issues that have demanded attention from policy makers for long. In order to overcome problems and implement solutions, understanding the pulse of the fishers, fish farmers and other stakeholders thus becomes critical. Therefore, conducting sustained grassroot level outreach activities is a turning point for the success of the Departmental schemes and initiatives. Since the launch of PMMSY (2019-20), outreach activities have been stepped up by the Department and 2.71 crore stakeholders have been reached out by DOF. This includes achieving outreach of 70.22 lakh fishermen, fish farmers and stakeholders through Sagar Parikrama, 137.63 lakh stakeholders through fish festivals, expos, campaigns and publicity events, 50.29 lakh stakeholders through social media platforms among other initiatives. While the outreach efforts are ongoing however there is lack of information and awareness amongst farmers about the welfare schemes undertaken by the Government. These gaps entail low uptake of many fisheries activities under PMMSY, low uptake of Kisan Credit Card (KCC) and challenges excluded from ongoing schemes. For sustained and larger outreach at the grass root level across the country, the Department is meticulously planning strategic initiatives “Matsya Sampada Jagrukta Abhiyan” from September 2023 to February 2024. This SOP is designed to help plan and execute Matsya Sampada Jagrukta Abhiyan efficiently and effectively across India with Institutional Support/Collaborations of state/UT fisheries departments, ICAR and CSIR fisheries institutes, state fisheries colleges and universities, National Council for Cooperative Training, Krishi Vigyan Kendra etc.
