To meet the local demand, the people in local ponds and enclosed paddy, fields now carry on pisciculture. The government takes up schemes for increasing fish yield cover propagation and distribution of fish seeds and fingerlings. Financial assistance. The total requirement of fish to feed the entire population of Manipur for one Year calculated at 200gms.per head per day (taking 50 % population for 100 days) is estimated at 23,000 metric tones, whereas the present level of fish production is estimated to be 15309 metric tones showing a wide gap between production and demand of fish in the state resulting to inhabitant rise in the price of fish and its huge import.

The project will provide physical facilities and equipment at the respective reservoirs and will unproved the marketing in township in still better quality, fish that in town improves the receipts. Hence, the proposal on “Generation of community livelihood development opportunity through Fish Farming in Manipur “.with the financial assistance from............................................................................................ will provide constructive support in economic spinning of fisheries business sector.
