- (f)
- if so, the details thereof?

## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PERSONNEL, PUBLIC GRIEVANCES & PENSIONS AND IN THE PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE (DR. JITENDRA SINGH):

****

## (c) & (d)

Yes. The messages are sent through a communication satellite and received  at  a  central  control  station  (INMCC:  Indian  Mission Control Centre) where the alert signals are decoded for the identity and  location  of  the  fishing  boat.  The  extracted  information  is forwarded  to  Maritime  Rescue  Co-ordination  Centres  (MRCCs) under Indian Coast Guard (ICG). Using this information, the MRCC co-ordinates to undertake Search and Rescue operations to save the fishermen at distress.

The Second Generation DAT (DAT-SG) has the facility to send back acknowledgement to the fishermen who activate the distress alert from sea. This gives an assurance of rescue coming for them.

DAT-SG also has the capability to receive messages from control center.  Using  this,  advance  alert  messages  can  be  sent  to  the fishermen  at  sea  whenever  there  are  events  of  bad  weather, cyclone, tsunami or any other emergencies.

## (e) & (f)

Yes. The information about Potential Fishing Zones (PFZs) are also transmitted  to  fishermen  using  DAT-SG  on  regular  intervals.  This helps fishermen to get good yield in the catch and savings in terms of time and fuel. DAT-SG can be connected to mobile phones using Bluetooth  interface  and  the  messages  can  be  read  in  native language using an App in the mobile.
