In view of limited scope of enhancement of state’s fish production from
reservoirs and rivers/streams, it is important to lay stress on
aquaculture----farming in ponds and raceways. Further, not only aquaculture
generates large scale employments but requisite subsidy grants @ Rs. 2 Lakh
ha for General Category and Rs. 4.20 Lakh ha for SC & ST Category of Fish
Farmers are released by GOI under the centrally sponsored scheme’ Extension
& Aquaculture”.
