Union Minister of State for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying George Kurian officially launched the household enumeration phase of the National Marine Fisheries Census (MFC) 2025 at the ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI).
Launching the massive nationwide exercise, the Minister urged all officers and enumerators participating in the Census to ensure that all fishermen and fish workers are registered on the National Fisheries Digital Platform (NFDP).
“This is a mandatory requirement to access benefits under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Kisan Samridhi Sah-Yojana (PM-MKSSY). Only fishermen and fish farmers who are registered on the portal will be eligible to receive financial assistance from the Central government,” Kurian said, adding that registration could be conveniently carried out through Common Service Centres (CSCs).
Describing the Marine Fisheries Census as a landmark in India’s march towards digital and data-driven fisheries governance, Kurian said, “This edition marks a major technological shift as the first fully digitised data collection in the history of Indian fisheries.”
