Fishery in Tripura
A most important sector
which plays an important role in upliftment of economic condition in
rural areas and also provides employment to the unemployed.
Popularisation and adoption of various schemes and projects by the
Department of Fisheries, Government of Tripura, in an integrated way,
plays a meaningful role in socio-economic development of Tripura.
Fishery sector plays an important role in nutritional security,
employment and development of rural and urban socio-economic status.
The Department of
Fisheries has launched 7(Seven) years perspective plan from the period
from 2004-2005 to 2010-2011 for providing 13 Kg. of fish per year. The
minimum requirement of fish in Tripura per year for an individual is
11 Kg.
Most of the
people, about 95% of the total population, in Tripura take fish as a
diet. Besides, a number of people consume dry-fish. But the present
production of fish in the state is below than the minimum requirement.
The level of exploitation and utilization of the resources for
aquaculture purpose is low.
To overcome this scenario
and to make the state self-sufficient in fishery by 2010-11, the
Department of Fisheries started implementation of various development
schemes under Perspective Plan since 2004-05 in a mission mode. |
