## ANSWER

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

(a) to (d): The Department of Fisheries, Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying is implementing a flagship scheme 'Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana' (PMMSY) to bring about Blue Revolution through sustainable and responsible development of fisheries sector and welfare  of  fishermen  in  India  with  an  investment  of  Rs.  20,750  crore  in  all  States/  Union Territories.    The  scheme inter  alia provides  social  security  measure  to  fishers,  fish  workers through  group  accidental  insurance  coverage  to  both  marine  and  inland  fishers  and  allied  fish workers wherein the entire insurance premium amount is shared between the Centre &State in the ratio of 60:40 basis for General States, 90:10 for the Himalayan & North Eastern States and in the case of the Union Territories, the entire premium amount is paid by the Centre. The insurance coverage provided under the PMMSY includes (i) Rs.5,00,000/- against death or permanent total disability, (ii) Rs.2,50,000/- for permanent partial disability and (iii) hospitalization expenses in the event of accident for a sum of Rs. 25,000/-.  During the last four years (2021-22 to 2024-25) and current financial years (2025-26) of the implementation of the PMMSY, Central Government has released a sum of Rs.149.07 crores for insurance coverage of 167.33 Lakh fishers with an average  of  33.46  lakh  fishers  annually.  The  State  and  year  wise  details  of  number  of  fishers insured, claims filed, approved, rejected and pending and amount settled during the last five years is at Annexure-I while the total amount of insurance claims disbursed under the scheme during the last five years, year and State-wise is at Annexure-II.

Besides, under the erstwhile Blue Revolution scheme implemented earlier from 2015-16 to  2019-20,  insurance  coverage  for  fishers  was  modest,  with  relatively  lower  benefit  amounts. Based on the suggestions received from State Governments and evaluation of Blue Revolution Scheme,  the  GAIS  coverage  under  ongoing  PMMSY  has  been  significantly  enhanced  both  in scale and value to provide increased financial security and risk mitigation to fishers. As such, the sum assured has been increased from ₹2 lakh to ₹5 lakh for accidental death or permanent total disability,  ₹1  lakh  to  ₹2.5  lakh  for  permanent  partial  disability,  along  with  ₹10,000/-  to  Rs. 25,000/-  hospitalization  support,  compared  to  much  lower  limits  under  the  erstwhile  Blue Revolution scheme.
