The federal government has planned to setup a state-of-the-art training centre with an estimated cost of Rs60 million at the aim of uplifting fish farming on modern lines in Mohmand Agency. “The training centre would be set up at an estimated cost of Rs60 million in Mohmand Agency with an objective to provide extensive training to farmers and people interested to adopt fish farming as a profession,” official sources in Fata Secretariat told APP on Tuesday.
