In a landmark step toward ecological restoration and sustainable development, the Department of Fisheries, Longding, has launched its first-ever River Ranching Program at the Tewai and Teru Rivers.
In the presence of Hon’ble Minister Shri Gabriel D Wangsu, over 90,000 fingerlings, including species like Rohu, Katla, Mirga, and more, were released into the rivers.
This initiative is designed to:
✅ Revive native fish populations
✅ Enhance biodiversity and protect aquatic ecosystems
✅ Promote sustainable fishing and support local livelihoods

The River Ranching Programme, a special activity under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana and aims to enhance fish production and productivity in rivers. It involves rearing fish in captivity for the initial stages, releasing them into rivers and then harvesting the adult fish. This approach helps in sustainable fisheries, reduces habitat degradation and contributes to biodiversity conservation and economic benefits.
