The document discusses India's five year plans and their role in developing the fisheries sector. It provides details on the objectives and programs of several five year plans from the first in 1951 to the twelfth plan from 2012-2017. The plans focused on increasing fish production through aquaculture expansion, infrastructure development, mechanization, safety measures for fishermen, and welfare programs. The Planning Commission was responsible for framing, executing and monitoring the successive economic development plans.

29. CONCLUSION
From the outset in 1951, the Five Year Plans have
included specific reference to fisheries which is a
reflection of their economic and social importance to
India. Until the advent of the 2004 Certified Financial
Marketing Professional (CFMP), the Five Year
Plans were the only policy framework for fisheries in
India. All ten of the Five Year Plans established so far
have focused fisheries policy on increasing fish
production through technological and infrastructure
development (mechanization, building new port and
landing facilities, etc), aquaculture development, and
through the expansion of fishing into poorly utilized
offshore fisheries.
