Abstract

Fisheries and aquaculture continue to be a significant source of food, nutrition, employment opportunities, and money for millions of people. As it is a best source of animal protein and is preferred by many Indians as it is the healthiest food to prevent malnutrition and hunger. This sector has an enormous potential to raise earnings and financial stability. Therefore, to increase the development of fishery sector in a sustainable, responsible and equitable manner, various policies and financial support is provided by the government. As, Jharkhand is a state rich in water resources which ultimately is a great source of fish production providing financial support to the rural people and others. So, this paper will make an attempt to draw the output of several schemes related to fishery production level in Jharkhand as well as in India.

The present study purposefully selected the Jharkhand state of India and is based on secondary data where the information is collected from several government sites. In addition, appropriate graphs have also been presented to make the data more visible.
