The Manipur government on Tuesday transferred ₹1.8 crore to 900 fish farmers as ₹15,000 per farmer. At a simple function for the event, Chief Minister N. Biren said, “The plan is to increase fish production in the State where most of people relish fish. Financial assistance is given under the paddy and pisciculture scheme of the Rastriya Krishi Vikas Yogana 2019-20.”
Speaking briefly on the occasion, Mr. Biren said, “Manipur needs 52,000 MT of various fish in a year. However, local fish production is only 27,000 MT in a year. Since the remaining quantum of fish has to be imported from other States, the State has been spending over ₹400 crore a year.”

Mumbai, Dec 20 (IANS): In a dubious distinction of sorts, the Bharatiya Janata Party-led NDA rule achieved the highest loans write-off between 2015 and 2019, which is more than three times compared to the figures of bad loans written off during the previous Congress-led UPA regime from 2004-2014, as per an RTI revelation.
During the UPA s 10-year rule, around Rs 2,20,328 crore was written off by various banks, and this figure shot up to Rs 7,94,354 crore during the NDA regime from 2015-2019, resulting in a corresponding reduction in the banks NPAs.
