Abstract

The ambitious programme of the Government of India to enhance fish production through “Blue Revolution (Neel Kranti)” is a significant step towards optimum exploitation of the resources, improving the value chain and enhancing the socio-economic status of the fishers and their families. India, in recent decades, has also created a niche for its seafood in the global market and thus the seafood exports have also contributed substantially towards the achievement of the social and economic goals set in the developmental paradigms of the country’s planning process. India in 2017 formulated the National Policy on Marine Fisheries (NPMF, 2017) based on seven pillars, viz., sustainable development, socio-economic upliftment of fishers, principle of subsidiarity, partnership, inter-generational equity, gender justice and precautionary approach. India has also committed itself to the sustainable development of fisheries set in the international agenda, one of the most notable being the Sustainable Development Goals and in particular Goal 14 – Life Below Water.
