Science minister Jitendra Singh writes about harnessing the full power of India’s oceans
For a nation as vast and diverse as ours, the journey to becoming a developed country, ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047, requires us to look at every resource and every available opportunity. And our greatest untapped resource lies in the vast blue ocean that surrounds our country.
Blue Economy is our new frontier for growth, a pathway to prosperity, sustainability, and national strength. It is a powerful concept that includes everything from traditional activities such as fisheries, ports, and shipping to cutting-edge new fields such as marine biotechnology, eco-tourism, renewable ocean energy, and deep-sea exploration.
