There is good news for the fish farmers in Uttar Pradesh. At the same time, the government will now give a 60% subsidy for fish farming. In fact, under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana in the Bareilly district, 16 people applied to construct a pond on private land in 2021-22. During this, a grant was given to them after the fisheries department did the survey.
New ponds will be constructed on 16 hectares for fish farming in the district. In such a situation, the government also gives subsidies to promote fisheries. At the same time, the government is offering 60% grants for Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes and 40% for Backward Classes so that farmers can easily do fish farming.
The farmers who want to do fish farming wish to take a subsidy from the department. Those people must have their private land, or it is also necessary to have a seven-year lease. In such a situation, these people can also apply on the portal. In such a situation, along with the construction of the pond for these people, to ensure the availability of water in the pond, 50 thousand rupees will be given to the characters for boring and 25 thousand rupees for buying pumping sets.
Government providing subsidies to farmers
At the same time, there are many such farmers in the Bareilly district. Those who are earning good profit by doing fish farming. In such a situation, in Nawabganj of the district, a farmer has achieved more than 6 lakh profit in 1 year by making a lock. During this, the farmer says that excellent profit is being made from fish farming, and the government is also giving subsidies.
The income of farmers is also increasing due to fisheries. Farmers say that nothing is left in the crops in agriculture. In such a situation, good profits are being made in keeping a lock and fishing is being bought and taken away by the traders from the pond itself. This is a perfect scheme of the government, which provides subsidies to the farmers.
