Provincial Minister for Fisheries Sardar Dariya Khan Gopang has said fish farming can play an important role in poverty alleviation and economic uplift of farming community. "The government is providing all possible incentives to those associated with this sector," he told a delegation of fish farmers.
He said the Punjab chief minister was taking a keen interest in the promotion of fisheries sector and provision of loans to the farmers for this purpose on only two percent mark-up is a proof of this fact.
Sardar Dariya Khan informed that supply of fish seed of various indigenous and exotic species has been started throughout the province and farmers can contact department hatcheries, fish seed nursery units and district offices to achieve fish seed. He further said that technical assistance is also being provided to the farmers free of cost in setting up of fish farms. Analysis of soil and water is also conducted free of charge.
