To continue and sustain the sectoral growth momentum, the Department of Fisheries, Government of India will be notified Organic Fisheries Cluster in Soreng District of Sikkim for development of organic fisheries and aquaculture in the State of Sikkim . An organic fisheries cluster in Sikkim would offer a range of economic, environmental and social benefits and can position itself as a leader in sustainable aquaculture.

The meet will serve as a crucial platform to accelerate the growth of fisheries and aquaculture in the Northeastern Region (NER). It will also provide an opportunity to address regional challenges, share innovative solutions, and promote sustainable practices tailored to the region's unique aquatic resources. The meet will enhance infrastructure, encourage advanced techniques, and strengthen market linkages, ultimately boosting productivity, creating employment, and driving economic growth in the region.

Through this landmark event, the Government aims to reinforce its commitment to making NER self-sufficient in fish production, fostering sustainable practices, and enhancing livelihoods for fisher communities across the region.

Background

The Indian fisheries and aquaculture sector is an important sector that provides livelihoods to around 3 crore fishers and farmers. The sector has seen significant growth since the establishment of a dedicated Ministry and Department of Fisheries in 2019. This step brought in a new focus to the fisheries sector and investment in the sector was stepped-up to the tune of Rs 38,572 crore since 2015.

The Northeastern Region (NER) of India, renowned for its rich aquatic biodiversity and vast water resources, holds immense potential to drive economic growth, ensure food security and uplift livelihoods. Renowned as a global hotspot for fish diversity, the region's diverse ecosystems nurture a wide array of fish species, positioning fisheries as a vital part of its economic and social framework. With about 422 reported fish species, the region has witnessed remarkable growth through government investments of Rs 2,114.73 crore under Blue Revolution and Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) since 2014-15. This has expanded fish production from 3.78 lakh MT in 2013-14 to 6.41 lakh MT in 2023-24, alongside advancements in hatcheries, scientific fish farming techniques, and infrastructure.
