With this scheme, women can receive financial assistance for fish farming—here’s how to apply

The government has launched various schemes to strengthen the financial position of women, and one of the key initiatives is the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana. This scheme aims to promote the fisheries sector while empowering women economically.

Under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana, women are eligible to receive financial assistance of up to 60%. This support is provided for activities such as fish farming, hatchery construction, seaweed farming, shellfish farming, ornamental fish farming, fish processing, and marketing. These opportunities enable women to participate across the value chain—from fish production to processing and sales—allowing them to earn profits and gain financial independence.
