All ponds in Assam are set to be geo-tagged under the government’s new scheme ‘Ghare Ghare Pukhuri Ghare Ghare Maach’. Geotagging is the process of adding geographical identification data to a particular location. The decision was taken during a review meeting by Assam Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma with Fisheries Department officials in the presence of Fisheries Minister Parimal Suklabaidya on Tuesday, June 15. Further, a roadmap has been drawn to increase fish feed through the setting up of new production plants and skill development of youth. An initiative to develop large tanks or ponds in every village, to be owned and maintained by the local community, has also been launched. It was also decided in the meeting to increase fish breeding and rearing in water bodies across the state.
