TDP Government Launches ‘Matsyakara Sevalo’ Scheme to Empower Andhra Pradesh Fishermen


In a significant move aimed at uplifting the fishing community, the Andhra Pradesh government has launched the ‘Matsyakara Sevalo’ scheme to provide comprehensive welfare and development support to fishermen across the state. This welfare initiative reflects the continued commitment of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) towards the empowerment of marginalized communities and the holistic development of coastal regions. The ‘Matsyakara Sevalo’ scheme is designed to address the economic, social, and occupational challenges faced by fishermen and their families. Key features of the scheme include financial assistance during the fishing ban season, subsidized diesel, upgraded fishing equipment, skill development training, health insurance, and access to modern storage and marketing facilities. The initiative aims to boost the livelihoods of lakhs of fisherfolk living along Andhra Pradesh’s 974-kilometer coastline.
This landmark scheme is a reflection of the visionary policies championed by TDP chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu, who has consistently prioritized the development of the state’s coastal economy. During his previous tenures, Chandrababu Naidu introduced several innovative policies and infrastructure projects that benefited the fishing and aquaculture sectors, making Andhra Pradesh a leader in marine exports. His focus on blue economy growth laid the groundwork for sustainable development in coastal regions.Under the leadership of TDP MLAs, the scheme is being rolled out across various districts, ensuring transparent implementation and real-time support for beneficiaries.








Local TDP MLAs are actively involved in awareness campaigns, enrollment drives, and grievance redressal efforts, which reflect the party’s commitment to grassroots governance and people-centric development. Their on-ground involvement ensures that the benefits of the scheme reach even the remotest fishing hamlets. The TDP’s contribution to the welfare of fishermen goes beyond mere schemes. Over the years, the party has established fish markets, cold storage chains, modern harbors, and training centers to enhance the productivity and incomes of fishermen. It also championed policies for coastal safety, marine conservation, and export facilitation. These long-term efforts have enabled Andhra Pradesh’s fishermen to compete in global markets while sustaining their traditional livelihoods. With the launch of ‘Matsyakara Sevalo’, the Andhra Pradesh government under the TDP’s guidance is once again proving that inclusive governance and sustainable development are at the core of its agenda. This scheme not only boosts the confidence of the fishing community but also highlights the enduring impact of Chandrababu Naidu’s leadership and vision.
