National Integrated Policy for Fishing Community

• The phrase "National Integrated Policy for Fishing Community" appears in a PIB release (17 March 2026) by the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying, where the Department of Fisheries clarified that welfare of fishers is being delivered through the flagship Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) rather than a stand-alone new statute.
• For UPSC, the topic links Blue Revolution, fisher welfare insurance, livelihood support during fishing ban, and India's emergence as the 3rd-largest fish producer / 2nd-largest in aquaculture.
