Pre Event Description :
This National Competition is conducted under the NAHEP-IDP, as per the announcement made by Hon’ble VC, JAU, Junagadh based on the recommendations by the Experts, at the end of three days National Webinar on “Challenges, Opportunities and the Future of Indian Fisheries post COVID-19 Era”, organized by the College of Fisheries Science, JAU, Veraval during 28-30 May, 2020. Fish is an important food source. It provides nutritional security, income, employment and foreign exchange earnings. Indian fisheries constitute 0.96% of total GVA and 5.37% of total Agricultural GVA of India. Considering the sizable population of India, and its larger middle class, if domestic fish consumption is popularized, it can create one of the largest markets for fish and fish products. Thus, on the lines of the campaign slogan developed by the National Egg Coordination Committee of India (NECC), which popularized the egg consumption in India, the National Competition for Slogan Writing is conceived to popularize domestic fish consumption in India.
