The document discusses the history and objectives of India's Five Year Plans for economic development. It was established that the plans were needed to develop India's crippled economy after independence from Britain. The Planning Commission monitors and implements the successive plans aimed at increasing production, infrastructure, and welfare programs in key sectors like agriculture, industry, and fisheries. Specific details provided on the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th Five Year Plans' goals and achievements in the fisheries sector include increasing aquaculture and fish production, developing infrastructure like fishing harbors, and improving the livelihoods of fishing communities.

IV SEM IF

2. Why was it needed???
• When India gained independence its economy was groveling
in dust.
• The British had left the Indian Economy crippled and hence
the fathers of development formulated the five year plan to
develop the Indian Economy.

3. Who Monitors It?
• The five year plans of India are framed, executed and monitored
by The Planning Commission Of India.
• The Planning Commission was set up in March, 1950.
• The draft of the first five year plan was published in July 1951
and was approved in December 1951.
• With the Prime Minister as the ex officio chairman,
The commission has a nominated Deputy Chairman, who has
the rank of a Cabinet Minister.
• The first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru presented the first
plan to the Parliament of India on December 8, 1951.

4. HISTORY
• Five-Year Plans (FYPs) are centralized and integrated national
economic programs.
• Joseph Stalin implemented the first FYP in the Soviet Union in the
late 1920s.
• Most communist states and several capitalist countries
subsequently have adopted them.
• First Five Year Plan- 1951-1956
• Second Five Year Plan- 1956-1961
• Third Plan -1961–1966
• Fourth Plan – 1969-1974
• Fifth Plan – 1974-1979
• Sixth Plan -1980- 1985
• Seventh Plan -1985-1990

5. EIGHTH FIVE
YEAR PLAN
1992- 1997
P V NARASIMHA RAO (PRIME MINISTER OF
INDIA 1991-1996)

6. FISHERIES
• Against the estimated total potential of about 4.5 lakh tonnes of
inland and brackish water fish, it was proposed to reach a
production level of 2.7 lakh tonnes by the end of Eighth plan.
• The water area to be covered under fresh water aquiculture
would reach more than 4 lakh ha. against the total area of 15
lakh ha. of ponds and tanks.
• In the case of brackish water aquiculture an estimated 65000 ha
was brought under aquiculture till the end of Seventh Plan and
another 20,000 ha. is expected to be brought under semi
intensive culture during the Eighth Plan period.

7. • Steps would be taken for increasing the availability of fish/prawn
seeds through construction of suitable hatcheries especially in the
private sector, training of fish farmers, provision of adequate
infrastructure such as feed mills, aquiculture implements etc.
• A World Bank Project for development of prawn and fish
production from inland and brackish water areas is to be taken
up at an estimated cost of US$ 100 million.
• The programme would cover five states over a period of seven
years. Brackish water culture would be taken up in 8 districts of
Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Orissa, U.P. and West Bengal.
• It was expected that this project would provide employment to
14,000 shrimp and fish farmers.

8. • In the marine sector the major thrust would be on motorisation of
traditional craft and introduction of intermediate craft of 12-16 metre size
for exploiting the off-shore resources.
• Suitable infra- structure for processing of this fish would also be developed.
This would require new post-harvest techniques for product development
and value addition in order to have better utilisation of these resources.
• In the deep sea sector, organised development of tuna fishery is to be given
a thrust. Other important schemes include setting up of "Whole chain"
scheme and encouragement of diversified fishing activities.
• Joint venture programmes and leasing of fishing vessel will be stream-lined,
making them more acceptable to private entrepreneurs.

9. • Management and maintenance of fishing harbours would receive
adequate support to utilise existing capacity of the landing and
berthing facilities. Suitable harbour facility would also be
developed for accommodation of deep sea tune vessels.
• Export of marine products is expected to reach a level of about
2,69,800 tonnes valued at Rs.3,077 crores.
• The welfare of fisherman would continue to receive priority
attention. A new programme namely, savings-cum-relief would
be introduced under which fisherman would make saving of a
fixed amount every- day during good fishing season and this
would be supplemented by additional contribution from and
Centre.

10. • These would be utilised to disburse a monthly amount to each fishermen
family during the lean months.
• The main thrust would be on increasing employment opportunities and
sustained fish production by adopting an integrated approach. An
additional employment potential of the order of 1.8 lakh person per year
during the Eighth Plan is expected.
• Fish production target for Eighth Plan is fixed at 5.5 million tons (28.5
lakh tons marine & 26.5 lakh tons inland). Promotion of aquiculture
activities would help in achieving a higher fish production target from
inland and brackish water sources.

11. • The growth rate from aquiculture is expected between five
and six percent at a modest level although this may go up in
certain states where conductive atmosphere prevails for
taking up intensive fish farming.
• The fishery resources potential of the Exclusive Economic
Zone (EEZ) has been revalidated as 3.9 million tons against
the earlier estimation of 4.5 million tons.
• The priority areas of research under Fisheries include
research on brackish water fish farming and commercial
exploitation of mericulture fish like `Tuna' and exploitation
of shell fish, sea-cucumber etc.
• The other areas which will need concentrated research efforts
are post-harvest technology for fishing, control of fish
diseases and development of high yielding cold fisheries.

12. • Research in Post-harvest technology in fish culture can prevent
a lot of wastage of fish, and lead to development of new
products from unconventional fish species.
• Reservoir ecology and management, particularly with respect to
fish diseases and their control, can increase fish production to
the desired level.

50% of the cost of engine would be provided as subsidy (subject to a
maximum of Rs. 10,000 for Out Board Motors – (OBM) and Rs. 12,000 for
In Board Motors – (IBM), which would be equally shared by the centre
and the states.
Rs. 6,000 was also provided as grant to fishermen for purchase of gear.

16. • FISHING HARBOUR FACILITIES AT MAJOR AND MINOR
PORTS:
The objective of this scheme was to provide infrastructural facilities viz.
jetty, dredging, reclamation, auction halls, slipway, workshop, and
navigation facilities etc. for efficient operation of mechanized fishing
vessels including deep sea fishing vessel and traditional craft at the
fishing harbours.
100% grant was provided to Port Trusts for construction of fishing
harbours at major ports. In case of minor fishing harbours and fish
landing centers, the cost is shared on 50:50 basis by the centre and the
states.
