Flagship Schemes of the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying
Last updated: 2026-11-13 · MockMentor
Livestock and fisheries are the fastest-growing parts of Indian agriculture and a key source of income for small and landless farmers. The Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying runs two flagship schemes: the Rashtriya Gokul Mission for cattle and buffalo breeding, and the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana for the Blue Revolution in fisheries. Both are important for NABARD's Agriculture and Rural Development paper.
