India aims for an over Rs 10,000 crore blue economy through its deep ocean mission and marine resources, said Jitendra Singh, earth sciences minister. Addressing scientists in the ministry of earth sciences (MoES), he reiterated the importance of exploring the ocean to give further fillip to the growth of the country’s economy. The deep ocean mission (DOM) could be a new avenue to supplement the country’s economy to the tune of an estimated Rs 10,000 crore, he said.

The mission planned by the earth sciences ministry will be carried out in collaboration with the Indian space research organisation (ISRO), and it will be a major step in the direction of integrating and bringing together efforts of different streams of science operating under different ministries, he added.

The deep ocean mission received the Union Cabinet’s nod last month. “In the years to come, India aims to target over Rs 10,000 crore blue economy through its deep ocean mission and ocean resources,” Singh said. In addition, he said, DOM will have far-reaching benefits for the common man. For example, it could help in providing clean drinking water and explore the avenues of desalination of water as well as extracting minerals from the ocean belt, the minister said. He directed officials of the India meteorological department (IMD) to use social media platforms more effectively so that accurate information can be disseminated quickly.
