## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF FISHERIES, ANIMAL HUSBANDRY AND DAIRYING (SHRI RAJIV RANJAN SINGH ALIAS LALAN SINGH)

(a) to (d): 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,  proposals  at  a  total  investment  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 costal 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.  As this activity is implemented as non-beneficiary oriented activities of PMMSY on cost sharing basis between the Centre and concerned State Governments, no direct financial assistance is provided to the beneficiaries under the scheme.

In addition, under the PMMSY, the Department of Fisheries, Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying in consultation with the coastal States/UTs has also identified a total of 100 coastal fishermen villages situated close to the coastlines 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 of NFDB 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. The need-based fisheries facilities developed in the identified coastal  fishermen  villages  include;  common  facilities  like  fish  drying  yards,  processing centers, fish markets, fishing jetty, ice plant, cold storage and emergency rescue facilities. The program also promotes climate-resilient fisheries through initiatives such as seaweed cultivation,  artificial  reefs,  sea  ranching,  promotion  of  green  fuel,  Safety  and  security measures for fishermen and fishing vessels and taking up alternative livelihood activities like  ornamental  fisheries.  The  programs  also  envisages  other  activities  like  insurance, livelihood  and  nutritional  support,  Kisan  Credit  Cards  and  its  saturation  of  coverage  of eligible fishers residing in the identified coastal villages. State-wise details of the identified coastal  villages  for  development  as  Climate  Resilient  Coastal  Fishermen  Villages (CRCFVs) under PMMSY are furnished at Annexure-I.

Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure has agreed to the extension of PMMSY up to financial year 2025-26 as per the existing scheme design and funding pattern with the approved outlay as already approved by the Union Cabinet.
