Media reports say West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee said the state govt would like farmers to form cooperative societies in order to get financial help for horticulture and pisciculture.
The state govt has launched a scheme to utilise 50,000 acres of barren land in six districts for horticulture and pisciculture.
The scheme aims at helping “lakhs of women self-help groups under the scheme”, the chief minister said.
