Our Assessment

medium

PMMSY provides group accidental insurance cover for fishers, and the National Fisheries Development Programme (NFDP) digital platform (2.7 million+ registrations by September 2025) supports access to institutional credit, aquaculture insurance and traceability systems. Insurance coverage is being strengthened, but the specific pledge of additional technological interventions for speedy/accurate assessment, faster payouts and quicker grievance resolution is only partially evidenced.
