Model Answer
Blue Revolution
The Blue Revolution was first launched in India as the 'Nili Kranti Mission' during the 7th Five Year Plan (1985-1990).
Fish Farmers Development Agency (FFDA) was sponsored by the central government.
The Intensive Marine Fisheries Program was subsequently launched during the 8th Five Year Plan (1992-97).
As a result, the fishing harbors were later established over time in Vishakhapatnam, Kochi, Tuticorin, Porbandar, and Port Blair.
The scheme was restructured by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare along with the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying & Fisheries into 'Blue Revolution' by merging it with the other ongoing schemes.
The scheme was controlled by the National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB).
