Steps in the revenue of the fishermen, the Bihar government has launched ‘Boat and Trap Package Distribution Scheme’

The Bihar government has launched an ambitious scheme to economically empower the fishermen of the state and increase their income. The scheme is the name “Boat and Mesh Package Distribution Scheme”. Under the scheme, members of the Fisheries Cooperation Committee of the State, traditional fishermen, female fishermen and scheduled castes and scheduled tribes will benefit directly. According to the Department of Fisheries, the purpose of this scheme is to offer modern resources to fishermen so that they can promote their traditional business. Boats and Maas are the basic requirements of fisheries. So far, many poor fishermen have not been able to work on a large scale due to a lack of adequate resources. But the implementation of this scheme will bring a significant improvement in their functionality and production capacity. Under the scheme, the package of boat and net is made available to the beneficiaries at a discounted price. In this, priority is given to female fishermen and underprivileged divisions. The government is of the opinion that this initiative will not only strengthen the economic condition of fishermen but also promote the production of fisheries in the state. Experts believe that in a state like Bihar, where rivers and reservoirs are present in large numbers, there are tremendous possibilities of fisheries. If the fishermen provide the right resources and technology, this area can take the rural economy to new heights. This is why the government kept this scheme a priority. Fisheries officials said that thousands of fishermen are expected to get direct benefits from the “boat and trap package distribution scheme”. The selection process was decided at the district level for the scheme and a list of beneficiaries is prepared. To provide timely material to qualifying fishermen, the department gave assurances to adopt a transparent process. Fishermen of the villages are very excited about this scheme. He says it will improve their existence and that they can get a good price in the market by catching more fish than before. Female fishermen believe that they will have the opportunity to become self -sufficient by getting a boat and a net and that they can better contribute to the family’s financial strength. Economic experts believe that if the scheme is properly implemented, the state fishermen will not only become self -sufficient, but also the standard of living by earning extra income. It will also create new jobs and strengthen the economy of rural areas. The Bihar government has made it clear that its purpose is not only to provide resources to the fishermen, but to make them sufficient for a long time. For this, the emphasis will also be on training programs and the use of modern technology. Share this story -tags
