Path to "Blue Revolution" in Bihar : Fishermen will get training in AP


Patna: The Bihar government has drawn up a five-year scheme to make the state a supplier of fish. Currently, the state imports fish worth Rs 250 crore annually from Andhra Pradesh. As part of the programme, 1,000 fishermen from Bihar left on Thursday for specialised training for Andhra Pradesh in fish farming. They will be in Kakinada for a fortnight.Underlining the “tremendous” scope of fishery in making Bihar a developed state by 2015, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said his government would provide all aid to usher in a “blue revolution” in the state.The fishermen were given a warm send off by Kumar and his deputy Sushil Kumar Modi, who holds the Animal Husbandry portfolio. Modi also advocated giving preference to those graduating in fishery for jobs in the fishery department.

I fully appriciate the effort made by Sri Nitish Kumar whom see the only hope left for the downtrodden Bihar. He is putting his steps nicely and I would like to congratulate him for his every effort without listening to the critics. May God give you long life, encourage and capability to sail this state from the state of misery, maltreatement from other states and the unprecedented corruption and poverty.
