Which district has been notified as a Cold Water Fisheries Cluster under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana?
- A.Nainital
- B.Pithoragarh
- C.Chamoli
- D.Almora
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Pithoragarh. The district in Uttarakhand has been notified as a Cold Water Fisheries Cluster under the scheme, and the Secretary of the Department of Fisheries reviewed its progress on the spot at Munsyari. The other three districts of the state have not been notified as this cluster. Munsyari was chosen by nature as much as by policy: the glacial streams of the Gori Ganga hold the water temperature rainbow trout needs, which has turned farming there from a subsistence activity into a semi-commercial enterprise run largely through cooperatives. The Centre has notified 34 fisheries clusters in all across the country, so a question may ask either for the number of clusters or for the district behind the coldwater one. Nainital does appear in the same story, but as the seat of the ICAR coldwater fisheries institute at Bhimtal.
