" If small fish farmers in remote areas could meet the demand for fish by cultivating fish in their own ponds, there would be socio-economic development and there would be no need to bring imported fish from South Indian states" She added.

Speaking as the special guest, Lovely Chakraborty, vice-chairman of Cachar Zilla Parishad, said that when she was the chairperson of Mahadevpur GP, an expert team from Delhi came and conducted a survey for Shyamaprasad Mukherjee Rurban Mission in Mahadevpur, Gumrah and Paikan Digarkhal GPs in West Katigorah. At that time, the panchayat representatives had several discussions with the party about Rurban. She further stated that she was lucky to have Rurban's work on only these three GPs in the entire Cachar during her tenure.
