  • World Fisheries Day
    World Fisheries Day 21 November 2019 Venue: NASC Complex, Pusa, New Delhi PRESS NOTE World Fisheries Day is celebrated on 21st November every year to demonstrate solidarity with all fisherfolk, fish farmers and concerned stakeholders throughout the world. It started in 1997 where “World Forum of Fish Harvesters & Fish Workers” meet at New Delhi leading to formation of “World Fisheries Forum” with representatives from 18 countries and signed a declaration advocating for a global mandate of sustainable fishing practices and policies. The event aims to draw attention to overfishing, habitat destruction and other serious threats to the sustainability of our marine and freshwater resources. The celebrations serve to focus on changing the way the world manages global fisheries to ensure sustainable stocks and healthy ecosystems. The Government of India is in the forefront in transforming the economy and has envisioned to double farmers’ income. Reducing costs, improving production and productivity, quality and thus increasing farmers’ income has been the maxim of the Government. The Centrally Sponsored Scheme “Blue Revolution” - Integrated Development and Management of Fisheries launched in 2016 for a period of 5 years made vital contributions towards the development of fisheries sector both in terms of fish production and productivity and harnessing of the fisheries resources. The Department of Fisheries, Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Government of India is celebrating the World Fisheries Day on 21stNovember 2019 at NASC Complex, Pusa, New Delhi.

In the letter, Naik asks why he has become the enemy number one for the State and Central government. “It has been over two months since the ghastly terror attack in Dhaka, and over one month since I’ve been asking myself what exactly have I done to become the enemy number one of the media as well as the State and Central Gov- ernment,” wrote Naik. × and justice.
