Tripura aims top spot in fish production; recruits 52 new Fishery Officers in Agartala

Tripura appoints 52 Fishery Officers to boost production, aiming to lead India in fish consumption through transparent hiring and skill development.

"This will increase fish production - CM Manik Saha"

Agartala, February 24

Tripura Animal Resources Development Department minister, Sudhanshu Das said on Tuesday that Tripura will be at the top in Fish consumption, as the state has recruited as many as 52 new Fishery Officers in Agartala since 2016.

To strengthen and empower the Fishery department and Fishfarmers, Tripura has set a goal to overtake other states in the country in the coming days.

Speaking to ANI, exclusively, Sudhangshu Das said that, besides the rapid development in all sectors, in Fishery also, Tripura should make a benchmark in the coming time.

"After 2016, the government has appointed as many as 52 new Fishery Officers today by the hand of CM Manik Saha, which is very encouraging to all who got a transparent appointment," he said.

Furthermore, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha said that since 2016, fishery officer appointments have been made through a transparent process, rejecting jobs obtained via political influence. He noted that over 20,000 jobs have been provided so far, including 52 recent fishery officer appointments, which are expected to boost fish production. "After 2016, these fishery officer appointments have been made here. Since our government came to power, so many jobs have been given through transparency. It has become a culture to get a job by luring a leader, by collaborating with a party already. This will not happen in our government. We have already given jobs to over 20 thousand people, and today, 52 fishery officer appointments have been made. This will increase fish production," CM Saha told ANI.

Saha added that skill development programmes are in place, and the state is on track to achieve its fish production targets.

"The Prime Minister always wants their skill development to be updated daily on their respective expertise. So, discussions have been held for them as well, and I believe that our target in fish production will soon be completed here," he added.

Transparent appointments are the key. For too long, jobs in many states were given based on "sifarish" or political links. If this process is truly fair, it's a big step forward. Now, the real test is whether these officers deliver on the ground.

Good initiative. Tripura has great potential for inland fisheries. Increasing production can also help control fish prices nationally. But they must ensure sustainable practices - we don't want to harm the local ecosystem in the race for top spot.

As someone who follows development economics, this is a smart sectoral focus. Aquaculture is a growth industry. The mention of skill development is crucial. Hope the officers bridge the gap between government schemes and the actual farmers.

While the goal is good, I have a respectful criticism. Announcements are easy. The article talks about 52 officers since 2016—that's about 6-7 per year. Is that enough to revolutionize the sector? The scale of the administrative push needs to match the ambition.

More fish production is always welcome! 🙏 As a homemaker, I see how prices keep rising. If Tripura can become a major producer, it might help stabilize costs. Also, fresh fish from the Northeast is known for its quality. Best of luck to the new officers!
