wholesale fish market in Chandauli will not only bolster the local economy but also provide direct and indirect employment opportunities to approximately 1,500 individuals.
The minister further highlighted the immense potential of this venture, projecting an annual trade volume of around 75,000 metric tonnes of fish once the market reaches full operational capacity.
Underlining the commitment of the Modi government to good governance and the welfare of the underprivileged, Minister Sanjay Nishad emphasized the numerous steps taken to uplift the fishing community’s overall well-being during the current administration’s tenure.
He pointed out that the fisheries sector has played a substantial role in contributing to India’s GDP growth, and assured that the newly established fishermen’s welfare fund will be dedicated to the betterment of the community. He also noted that previous governments had often regarded the fishermen community merely as a vote bank without actively working towards their welfare.
This groundbreaking development marks a significant leap forward in the fisheries industry and underscores the government’s dedication to promoting economic growth and prosperity in the region.
