The “Blue Revolution” scheme in India aims to enhance fish production, modernize the fisheries sector, and improve livelihoods of fishers.
The scheme was launched in 2016 with the goal of doubling fish production by 2022. It aims to achieve this goal by increasing aquaculture production, improving the productivity of capture fisheries, and reducing post-harvest losses.
