About this scheme
The Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) is run by the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying, Government of India. Under this component, freshwater aquaculture in Haryana is to be expanded — composite fish culture, scampi, pangasius and tilapia. Funding follows the centrally sponsored pattern: 50% from the Central Government and 50% from the State Government.
Financial assistance goes to aquaculturists with the aim of raising fisheries production. Aquaculture in urban and semi-urban localities is a particular focus, and an input cost subsidy is available for the first fish crop in ponds that have been newly developed.
The scheme is intended to lighten the financial load on beneficiaries and support sustainable growth in fisheries, which in turn serves food security and economic upliftment in Haryana.

How applications are assessed
Applications may be filed online or via Atal Seva Kendras. Before approval, authorities check that applicants meet the scheme's conditions: residence in Haryana, a valid PPP, priority to new ponds located in urban or semi-urban areas, and evidence of proper pond preparation. Submitted applications then pass through a screening stage, in which the relevant authorities confirm adherence to the scheme's guidelines.
Selection under this scheme turns on meeting the eligibility conditions, not on competing against other applicants through an innovation or pitch-based process. Subsidies are disbursed to those who satisfy these conditions.
