The study has adopted a desktop research view to analyze the different aspects of the challenges of the blue economy and has tried to provide suggestions and measures on the same. India has a young population. With this advantage, the government should frame their policies to equip youth to become decision makers and problem solvers. There is a need to address issues in the maritime area and create a consciousness in the country. The study argues that that a suitable and realistic policy framework should provide ample amount of opportunities targeting the youth for a sustainable blue growth. The study recommends more blue enterprises to be initiated through empowering the youth by providing skill development and education pertaining to marine subjects, which would improve the growth potential and increase the importance of the blue economy in India.
