The Governmental  financial assistance of Rs. 3000/per fisher  and beneficiaries' contribution of an amount of Rs.1500/- accumulating to Rs.4500/- is provided to each traditional  fisher's  families  @Rs.1500/per  month  during  fishing  ban/lean  period  for three months. The assistance is shared in the ratio of 50:50 for general state, 80:20 for North Eastern States and Himalayan States while 100% for UTs. During last four years  (2020-21  to  2023-24)  and  current  financial  year(2024-25)  under  PMMSY,  an average of 5,94,538 traditional fisher's families annually have been provided livelihood and nutritional support at total cost of Rs.1384.98 crore including central share of Rs. 490.84 crore. The State and year-wise details of the livelihood and nutritional support provided  to  traditional  fishers'  families  during  the  fishing  ban/lean  period  including Bihar is at Annexure.

(b)  and  (c):  For  creation  and  strengthening  of  fish  marketing  infrastructure  in  Bihar, Department of Fisheries,  Government of India,  under PMMSY, has supported 1708 units  of  fish  transportation  facilities  (refrigerated  vehicles,  insulated  vehicles,  two wheelers/three wheelers), 52 Cold storage/Ice plants, 1 state of the art wholesale fish market,  90  fish  kiosks  and  1  E-platform  for  e-trading  and  e-marketing  of  fish  and fisheries  products  with  total  outlay  of  Rs.  91.906  crore.  To  provide  real-time  price information  to  fishers,  fish  farmers  and  other  stake  holders  and  to  help  them  to negotiate better price and profitability, National Fisheries Development Board(NFDB) has  launched  'Fish  Market  Price  Information  System'  (FMPIS)    to  capture  and disseminate  fish  market  prices  of  commercially  important  marine  and  inland  fishes species  from  a  total  of  111  wholesale  and  retail  fish  markets  in  29  States/UTs including Bihar. Government of Bihar has reported that this FMPIS at present is being implemented in Patna and Darbhanga districts to ensure that the fishermen receive fair price for their produce in fish retail market.

(d) and (e) : The Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) implemented by the  Department  of  Fisheries,  Ministry  of  Fisheries,  Animal  Husbandry  and  Dairying inter-alia provides support to the Coastal State Governments and Union Territories(UTs) for development of Integrated Modern Coastal Fishing Villages.

The unit cost envisaged for development of each integrated coastal fishing village is shared between the Central and concerned State Government in 60:40 basis and the Government  of  India  meets  100%  unit  cost  in  case  of  Union  Territories.  Under PMMSY, the proposals with total outlay of Rs.7756.46 lakh for development of total 11 integrated modern coastal villages have been approved which include (i) nine coastal villages at a cost of Rs. 6106.61 lakh in Kerala, (ii) one  Coastal village at a cost of Rs.899.85 lakh in Lakshadweep and (iii) one coastal village at a cost of Rs. 750 lakh in  West  Bengal.  In  addition,  under  the  PMMSY,  the  Department  of  Fisheries, Government of India, in consultation with the coastal States/UTs has also identified 100  coastal  fishermen  villages  situated  close  to  the  coastline  for  development  as Climate  Resilient  Coastal  Fishermen  Villages  (CRCFV)  to  make  them  economically vibrant  fishermen  villages.  The  National  Fisheries  Development  Board  (NFDB), Hyderabad has been made a nodal agency and the proposal for development of the identified  100  coastal  villages  at  a  total  cost  of  Rs.  200  crore  has  been  approved under the PMMSY in the current financial year. As per PMMSY scheme guidelines, both  the  components  i.e.  Integrated  Modern  Coastal  Fishing  Villages  and  Climate Resilient  Coastal  Fishermen  Villages  are  implemented  in  coastal  States  and  Union Territories only, hence, no projects have been sanctioned under these components to inland States including Bihar.
