Pmmsy: Cycle with Ice Boxes

PMMSY: Cycle with Ice Boxes helps individual fishers in Haryana get a subsidy to buy bicycles fitted with ice boxes. This keeps the catch fresh while it is being moved, which improves fish preservation and boosts the income of people who depend on fishing for their living.

Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) is run by the Department of Fisheries, Government of India. Under this scheme, the Fisheries Department of Haryana gives central financial support for the purchase of new cycles with ice boxes. The support is given for the initial crop only, so it helps fishers start their work without carrying the full cost of the equipment on their own.

PMMSY: Cycle with Ice Boxes - Introduction

This scheme supports local fishers by giving central financial help for buying bicycles that come with ice boxes. The ice box keeps the fish cold during transport, so the quality of the catch stays good by the time it reaches the market. The Fisheries Department manages the scheme and releases the support amount only for genuine fisheries activity.

The support is available only for the initial crop of newly purchased cycles. This means the help is given once, when a fisher buys a new cycle with an ice box for the first time, so they can start their fishing work with less money pressure. The Government of India and the Government of Haryana are not responsible for any loss that may happen during the purchase, operation, maintenance, or management of the fish transport equipment.
