Coastal communities are important stakeholders of developmental activities within coastal regions.
With 72 coastal districts hosting 18% population of India, the development of these communities becomes an integral aspect of overall socio-economic development of the country.
Under the Sagarmala initiative, the plan is to involve these communities in the overall progress of the region. 23 projects have been identified so far under this aspect of the initiative, which will be funded by MoS and Department of Animal Husbandry Dairying & Fisheries (DADF).
