Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated the 'Deep Sea Fishing Vessels' at Mazgaon Dock in Mumbai under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana. This initiative aims to enhance the fishing infrastructure and boost marine productivity. Over the next five years, the government plans to distribute 200 deep-sea fishing vessels on a cooperative basis across India. The program is a major step toward empowering fishermen, modernizing the fisheries sector, and improving the livelihoods of coastal communities while promoting sustainable fishing practices.
