This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2018 Paper 1 Question Paper (8-Jul-2018)
The correct answer is

(b), (c) and (e)

The Blue Revolution in India refers to the significant growth and development of the country's fisheries sector. It aligns with the Indian government's vision to enhance fish production and improve the income levels of those involved in the fishing industry. Let's evaluate each statement for how well they align with the vision of the Blue Revolution:

  • (a) Promoting development of Botanical Gardens: This statement is related to botanical sciences and does not directly contribute to the fisheries sector, making it irrelevant to the Blue Revolution.
  • (b) Creating an enabling environment for the full potential of fisheries in the country: This statement aligns perfectly with the goals of the Blue Revolution, which aims to optimize the fisheries sector for better productivity and sustainability.
  • (c) Improving the income status of fish farmers keeping in view the sustainability concerns: One of the main objectives of the Blue Revolution is to improve economic conditions for fish farmers while ensuring sustainability, making this statement relevant.
  • (d) Encouraging scientific research in forestry to increase the vegetation cover: This statement focuses on forestry, not fisheries, and hence does not coincide with the Blue Revolution’s objectives.
  • (e) Promoting integrated development of fisheries of the country: This is central to the Blue Revolution, which seeks comprehensive development in the fisheries sector, reinforcing its relevance.
  • (f) Undertaking research in new areas like marine finfish: This could be a part of the Blue Revolution strategy to expand research areas, but the emphasis in the context of the vision is more specific on other integrated development facets.

Thus, the statements that embody the vision of the Blue Revolution are (b), (c), and (e). Hence, the correct answer is (b), (c), and (e).
