<h1>Former Insurgents Turn to Fish Farming Under National Fisheries Scheme, Boosting Local Jobs and Economy</h1> Former members of a left-wing insurgent group in Jharkhand's Gumla district have transitioned from armed conflict to fish farming, supported by a government aquaculture initiative. The transformation, highlighted by government officials, involved training and financial assistance under a national fisheries scheme, enabling over 150 families to engage in fish farming. Key individuals abandoned insurgency to establish profitable fish-related enterprises, including fish farming and feed production, contributing to local employment and economic development. This shift has contributed to the removal of Gumla district from the official list of insurgency-affected areas, reflecting a significant reduction in extremist activity and the successful rehabilitation of former insurgents through sustainable livelihood programs.
