The programme also saw the formation of a new executive body to lead the cooperative society. The event concluded with meaningful discussions aimed at driving the fisheries sector forward through unity and cooperation.
Officials from both the Fisheries and Cooperation Departments were present to show their support for this important step toward rural development and self-reliance.
