Blue Revolution
India's name for the drive to raise fish production through farming, hatcheries, harbours and cold chains.
Also: PMMSY
The term echoes the Green Revolution in crops. In India it describes the growth of fish farming since the 1970s and the government schemes that support it: the Blue Revolution scheme from 2015 and the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana, launched in 2020, which funds hatcheries, fishing harbours, cold storage, boats and insurance. India is among the world's three largest fish producers, with inland farming of carps and coastal shrimp farms growing fastest. Critics raise concerns over pollution, mangrove loss and the needs of small-scale fishers.
