Will blue economy make  India great again?

By Preeti Kanojia

Panaji, Goa, Nov 22 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi once spoke about the prospects of blue economy, being considered to be the ultimate source of revenue in future; however there is an urgent need to understand whether the fastest developing nation was ready with the sophisticated technology to achieve this goal.
The concept of ocean or blue economy is not new as the Indian scientists started mapping the minerals and other resources in the oceans 40 years back. As a result, the focus is now shifting towards the source of the blue economy -- the oceans -- for food, minerals, energy, gas, water, medicines, etc. The scarcity of resources of the surface of earth is yet another reason.
The National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) in Goa’s Dona Paula region is one of the science laboratories in India where research on ocean resources has been carried out for last several years.
