Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana
The Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) is a
flagship scheme for focused and sustainable development of the fisheries sector in
the country with an estimated investment of Rs. 20,050 crores for its
implementation during a period of 5 years from FY 2020-21 to FY 2024-25 in all
States/Union Territories, as a part of AatmaNirbhar Bharat Package. The
