The Department of Fisheries, Government of India in collaboration with MyGov is organizing a Mascot Design Contest from September 1 to 30, 2023 in an online mode.
The Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry, and Dairying is a ministry of the Government of India that is responsible for matters related to fisheries, animal husbandry, and dairying. The ministry came into existence on May 31, 2019, after the formation of the Second Modi ministry. Prior to becoming an independent ministry, the ministry was a department under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare.
The Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY), the sector’s current flagship program, has attracted the greatest investment in history. Various fisheries activities such as fish rearing in cages/ponds/bio flocs/RAS, mariculture, seaweed cultivation, ornamental fisheries, brackish and saline water aquaculture have gained traction under PMMSY giving sustained income and alternate means of income to many fishers, fisherfolks and others.
Thus, with the welfare of fishers and fish farmers at its core, impactful projects are being grounded that are helping to enhance their income and improve their quality of living. In order to recognize the achievements and futuristic view of the Department of Fisheries, Government of India, a Mascot Design Contest in collaboration with MyGov is being organized.
The winner will get INR 5,000/- and a certificate of participation.
