Statement referred to in reply to the Lok Sabha Starred Question No.338 put in by Shri B.S.  Yediyurappa,  Member  of  Parliament  for  answer  on  9 th August,  2016  regarding Fishing Harbours

(a) to (d) :      Yes,  Madam.    The  Central  Plan  Scheme  on  Blue  Revolution:  Integrated Development and Management of Fisheries approved by the Government in December, 2015 inter-alia provides financial assistance to the tune of 50% of the project cost to the Coastal States/Union  Territories  (UTs)  for  construction  of    new  fishing  harbours  and  fish  landing centres  including  modernization  of  the  existing  ones.    Many  State  Governments,  namely, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal at present have  indicated  their  intention  to  have  new  fishing  harbours  constructed  in  their  respective States.    A  statement  indicating  the  State-wise  details  of  the  proposed  fishing  harbours  is furnished at Annexure-I. Since each project has a specific time period and the proposed new fishing  harbour  projects  are  at  various  stages  of  formulation  by  the  respective  State Governments,  the  time  by  which  these  fishing  harbours  are  likely  to  be  set  up  cannot  be assessed at this stage by the Government.
