The minister said the steps would be taken to build multi-day multi-day fishing vessels under the 70% subsidy scheme (RS 56 Lakh of the total cost of 80 lakh Rs) in Tamil Nadu.
Fishermen switched from the trawl to the ship as it was under the scheme now depending on the ship’s yard in Kochi and Puducherry to build a boat.
