The government is open to suggestions and scientists and entrepreneurs should come up with a roadmap to develop policies for fisheries sector, said Parshottam Rupala, Union minister of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying.
At the inauguration of the three-day 12 th Indian Fisheries and Aquaculture Forum here on Thursday, Mr. Rupala said the country now had a separate department with an allocation of ₹20,000 crore. At a time when the world was redesigning its boundaries, the country could build its dream of becoming the world leader that the Prime Minister envisaged for India during the Amrit Mahotsav, marking the country’s 75 years of independence, Mr. Rupala said.
India had the potential to realise the dream of becoming a world leader by 2047, Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi said in his inaugural address. The Prime Minister’s vision could be realised as we have the potential, he said.
