About — National Fisheries Policy 2017
The National Fisheries Policy 2017 is a government framework aimed at sustainably developing India’s fisheries sector, enhancing fish production, and improving livelihoods of fishers. It is significant for integrating conservation with economic growth, targeting a 7% annual increase in fish output. For example, it promotes inland aquaculture clusters like the 2020‑2025 scheme in Andhra Pradesh, supporting 1.5 million fishers.
