To put the project on the roll, the government has already allocated Rs 637 crore for the cultivation of these nutrition-rich marine plants, as part of the Rs 20,050-crore Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY). The funds, to be utilised over the next five years, will be used mainly to provide subsidy support. Intensive efforts will be made by the implementing agencies to prioritize formation and promotion of Forest and Farm Producer Organizations (FFPOs), support cooperatives and women SHG’s in identified coastal areas, under the scheme, said Dr Rajeev Ranjan, secretary, department of fisheries and chief guest of the webinar.
