About this subsidy
The Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) is a flagship scheme launched by the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying, Government of India, to bring about the Blue Revolution through sustainable and responsible development of the fisheries sector in India. This specific component targets the critical need for robust post-harvest infrastructure by supporting the establishment of modern ice plants and cold storage facilities. In Haryana, this centrally sponsored scheme aims to provide a substantial subsidy to individuals and entrepreneurs for setting up facilities with a minimum capacity of 30 tons. This initiative is crucial for strengthening the cold chain, ensuring better preservation of fish, reducing post-harvest losses, and improving market access for fishers and fish farmers across the state. The scheme emphasizes both central and state government participation, ensuring a collaborative approach to uplift the fisheries ecosystem. Beneficiaries are required to commit to the long-term operational sustainability of these units, ensuring that the benefits of improved preservation infrastructure are passed on to the primary producers through affordable ice supply.
