12 PMMSY projects inaugurated across four Sikkim districts

On November 2, Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh virtually inaugurated 12 beneficiary-oriented projects under Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) across Pakyong, Gyalshing, Soreng and Mangan districts during a Central schemes review in Mangan under Poorvottar SETU.

Soreng was identified as an organic fisheries cluster, and an SOP for organic fish farming in Sikkim was launched. Three fish farmers received Kisan Credit Cards, while five beneficiaries received cheques under Mukhya Mantri Matsya Uthpadhan Yojana.

North Dairy Milk Union was launched in Mangan under White Revolution-II, and Siri Cattle Conservation Programme was introduced. Singh virtually laid the foundation stone for a Siri Bull Mother Farm at Chuchachen in Pakyong district, which is expected to support conservation and genetic improvement of Siri cattle.
