A three-day Non-Residential Training and Capacity Building Programme under Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) on 'Advanced Aquaculture Technologies for Doubling Farmers Income' commenced from Monday at Chandel District Fishery Office Multipurpose hall, Chandel DC Complex.
According to a release, the inaugural function was attended by Chandel DC Mayanglambam Rajkumar, district fishery officer K Jenishing Tarao and Directorate of Fisheries Imphal FI Lamdinlu Gangmei as chief guest, president and special guest respectively.
A training manual prepared by the DFO was released by the dignitaries prior to the inaugural speech by the chief guest who said that as it is not possible for the government to give employment to all the citizens and for this reason, it is very important for all the line departments for imparting skill development.
He also encouraged the trainees to take the profession of fishery and fish culture as a serious entrepreneurship in order to make an alternative livelihood and enhance the production of fish in the state.
