Murugan said that the bill was being discussed at various levels with fishermen and other stakeholders in this sector before being submitted before parliamentary homes.
Ensuring the center was for fishermen’s welfare, he remembered that RS 20,000 Crore was allocated by the BJP government to benefit the coastal population through various schemes during this financial year.
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.
