*LAUNCH OF PADDY-CUM-FISH CULTIVATION AT ZAWLPUI PADDY FIELD*
Yesterday (20th Aug 2026, Thu), as arranged by Zawlpui Serchhip Agro Farmer Producer Company, Shri Chandan Bothakur, Managing Director, APRINS released fish fingerlings at Serchhip Zawlpui paddy field. This release of fish fingerlings in the paddy field is called Paddy-Cum-Fish Cultivation.
Shri Chandan Bothakur, Managing Director, APRINS said, “Even for those who do not have a fish pond, fish farming in paddy fields is a very good practice. When fishes move around and disturb the paddy plants, it is very beneficial for the paddy. At the same time, fish excreta turns into manure and is highly beneficial for the paddy plants, and it can even increase the paddy yield. Moreover, fishes reared in paddy fields grow very fast and become ready for consumption within just two to three months, so it is a very profitable practice.” He also said that under PMMSY, applications for assistance for Paddy-Cum-Fish Cultivation - rearing fish in paddy fields - are opened every year, and he said he plans to arrange it for the paddy field owners of Serchhip Zawlpui as well.
Serchhip District Fisheries Development Officer (DFDO) Pu Lalmalsawma also attended the launching of Paddy-Cum-Fish Cultivation at Serchhip Zawlpui paddy field.
