The protocol also provides guidance on government schemes, programs and linkages with other stakeholders in the aquaculture value chain.

Kings Infra will also host a global seminar on the occasion to highlight the country’s immense potential in sustainable aquaculture.  

Shaji Baby John, Chairman and Managing Director said the fisheries and aquaculture sector in the country is witnessing a great turnaround with Prime Minister Narendra Modi identifying the sector as pivotal to India’s growth strategy.

The seminar, he said, is a prelude to develop a think-tank for a sustainable and vibrant aquaculture comprising policymakers, industry representatives, farmers, officials and other stakeholders. The days of policy paralysis in the sector are over and the time is ripe for all stakeholders to work together and make India the global hub of aquaculture by 2030.
