Fish farming turns lucrative for Chhattisgarh women, supports rural economy

Pramina never had a notion that fish, which she loves to cook, could be a good source of income for her.

In her mid-thirties, the resident of Chervapara village in Baikunthpur development block of Korea district is eyeing the big catch.

Overwhelmed with the initial outcome, she and her group are planning to go for fish farming in an extensive way.

Pranima heads a women self-help group (SHG) Mateshwari Mahila Samuh in the village with 10 members on the rolls. 

“We wanted to do some work to make ourselves financially strong, but due to lack of guidance, things could not materialise,”
