Chief Minister Lalduhoma presented a comprehensive set of five proposals to the Union Minister, outlining specific projects aimed at enhancing the state’s agricultural output and infrastructure. Among these, a notable initiative includes the establishment of an integrated aqua park at Zawlnuam in the Mamit district. The emphasis was on expediting the approvals and sanctions for these vital projects, signaling Mizoram’s readiness to accelerate its growth in food production.

The Union Minister, George Kurian, provided assurances to Chief Minister Lalduhoma, indicating that he would thoroughly review the presented proposals and extend the necessary support for their approval and implementation. This positive response from the Central government is crucial for Mizoram, as federal backing is often indispensable for states to undertake large-scale developmental projects in sectors like livestock farming and fisheries, which require substantial investment and policy coordination.

Mizoram’s focus on these sectors is strategic, recognizing their immense potential for economic growth and livelihood generation within the state. Strengthening livestock, dairy, and fisheries can lead to increased local food security, create employment opportunities, and reduce reliance on external supplies. For the international dairy community and agri-investors, this signifies emerging opportunities in a region ripe for development, particularly in sustainable dairy farming practices.
