The Minister said, “This prestigious designation, first announced on January 6, 2024, in Guwahati and later reaffirmed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during Sikkim’s Statehood Golden Jubilee celebration, marks a significant milestone in our collective journey,” the minister said. He termed it a symbol of the state’s environmental responsibility and its people’s unwavering dedication.

Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) and the Mukhya Mantri Matsya Utpadan Yojana (MMMUY) have proved to be a boon for Sikkim as Gurung highlighted the state’s remarkable journey in developing a sustainable fisheries sector.

He also declaring that Sikkim has become a model for other regions across India. He pointed out both schemes have provided critical financial and technical assistance to fish farmers.

Gurung shared that Sikkim’s fish production had reached an impressive 953 metric tonnes (MT) this year, a testament to the effectiveness of teamwork and the optimal use of the state’s natural resources.

Outlining recent technological advancements, the minister spoke about the successful introduction of modern trout raceways, functional live fish vending centres, and well-structured domestic fish markets. He emphasized that digitalisation has played a key role in ensuring transparency in service delivery, including online processes for applying to schemes, obtaining No Objection Certificates (NOCs), and securing licenses.

These reforms, according to the minister, have simplified procedures, eliminated red tape, and improved accessibility for all stakeholders. Sikkim has also been focusing on value-added fish products to diversify income streams and meet consumer demand.

To support broader market access, the state is actively improving supply chains to ensure fish products from Sikkim reach larger markets and secure better returns for farmers. Gurung stressed that the state’s commitment to environmentally responsible aquaculture remains central, aiming to safeguard the state’s aquatic life and biodiversity.

The minister also underlined the importance of ongoing training and capacity building for fish farmers. “We are investing in skill development to equip our farmers with up-to-date knowledge, innovative techniques, and the resilience to meet emerging challenges,” he said.
