Marine Fisheries Census 2025: A Digital Transformation
The Marine Fisheries Census 2025, launched by Union Minister Shri George Kurian, marks a historic shift to a fully digital enumeration process for approximately 1.2 million fisher households across 5,000 villages in India. Utilizing custom Android applications, the census aims to collect real-time, geo-referenced data, enhancing accuracy and efficiency. The initiative also focuses on socio-economic data collection to better target welfare programs and support the fishing community, including the use of drone technology for aerial enumeration.
