About PMMSY pond, cage, seaweed and bivalve components
These components are for fish farmers and fisher groups. They are not a startup programme, though the pond text refers to "the farmer or the entrepreneur", so a firm building a larger commercial farm may be able to use them.
What you get
- Assistance towards new grow-out ponds in freshwater, brackish and saline areas, biofloc units, inputs, open-sea cages, seaweed culture and bivalve cultivation
- Assistance is a share of the unit cost, higher for SC/ST and women beneficiaries
