In the run-up to World Fisheries Day 2025, the Department of Fisheries, A&N Administration, in collaboration with the Department of Education, organised a collection of partaking pre-events geared toward fostering consciousness amongst college students and youth on the importance of fisheries and marine assets.

A Quiz Programme on “Wonder World of Fishes” and a Poster Making Competition on “Marine Biodiversity of A&N Islands” had been held on 18th November 2025 at Govt. Senior Secondary School, Junglighat. Students from numerous faculties throughout the Islands participated with enthusiasm, showcasing creativity and a eager understanding of the area’s wealthy marine biodiversity.

Continuing the educational momentum, an Essay Writing Competition on “Fisheries Potential of A&N Islands: Way Forward for Fisheries Economy Development” was performed on twentieth November 2025 for college kids of the Zoology Department, JNRM College, Sri Vijaya Puram. Participants introduced insightful views on sustainable fisheries improvement, tapping the Islands’ huge marine potential and figuring out methods to strengthen the fisheries economic system in step with nationwide priorities.

Winners of those competitions will likely be felicitated throughout the official World Fisheries Day programme scheduled for twenty first November on the TGCE Auditorium. The occasion can even mark a number of vital milestones within the Islands’ fisheries sector, together with the launch of Commercial Open Sea Cage Culture, end result of the 45-Day Seaweed Training Programme, launch of a Seaweed Farming Documentary, and presentation of the World Fisheries Day Awards 2025.

Fishers, fish farmers, exporters, fisheries cooperatives, merchants, and different stakeholders from throughout the worth chain are anticipated to take part. This 12 months’s celebration is centred on the nationwide theme, “India’s Blue Transformation – Strengthening Value Addition in Seafood Exports.”

With the profitable conduct of those pre-events, the stage is about for a significant and impactful World Fisheries Day 2025, reaffirming the Administration’s dedication to sustainable fisheries, livelihood enhancement, and nurturing marine stewardship among the many youth.
