Gujarat hosted a fisheries registration event on Wednesday in Jodia, where Agriculture Minister Raghavjibhai Patel distributed licenses to 50 fishermen from Pagadia. The National Fisheries Digital Platform allows coastal workers to obtain identity cards and access government welfare programs through Prime Minister Narendra Modi's initiatives. Jamnagar district features 170 kilometers of shoreline with Jodia serving as one of six major fishing hubs for communities dependent on marine harvests.
The Climate Resilient Coastal Fishermen Villages program allocated 2 crore rupees per village to eight locations in Gujarat for infrastructure upgrades, including jetty repairs and solar lighting systems. Fishermen from Bedi port praised the modernization efforts that improved their economic conditions. Digital certificates enable registered workers to receive loan assistance and program notifications through the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana scheme.
