Question

The Government of India has encouraged the _________ for improving productivity by launching NKM-16.

Answer 1

Hint All organisms require food for their development and survival. Food production must be increased to meet the demands of an ever-increasing population. Plant breeding, animal husbandry, and modern technologies such as tissue culture, genetic engineering, and embryo transfer have dramatically increased yield.

Complete answer: The practice of raising and breeding livestock is known as animal husbandry (buffaloes, cattle, sheep, cow, etc.). Poultry farming and fisheries are also included.
The selection of good breeds with high yielding potential and disease-resistant varieties is required in dairy and poultry farm management.
The Blue Revolution refers to the significant expansion and intensification of global aquaculture production (domestication and farming of fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants) from the mid-twentieth century to the present, especially in developing countries. The late 1980s saw a peak in capture fishery production, followed by a period of stagnation, which prompted technological advancements and improved efficiency for aquaculture production
By launching NKM-16, the Indian government has aided the fisheries industry in increasing productivity.
The Government's Neel-Kranti Mission 2016 ( NKM-16 ) is dedicated to providing maximum protection, maximizing the industry's potential, and ensuring financial incentives to the country's fish farmers and fishermen.
The program's main concerns are fisheries development, biosecurity, and long-term production by marginalized groups. The program's main concerns are fisheries development, biosecurity, and long-term production by marginalized groups.

Thus, the Government of India has encouraged the fisheries industry for improving productivity by launching NKM-16.

Note: Aquaculture is the practice of commercially breeding and rearing aquatic flora (fish, mollusks, crustaceans) and fauna (aquatic plants and algae). Intensive aquaculture takes place in ponds and tanks, whereas extensive aquaculture takes place in oceans, rivers, or lakes.
