He further said that the 15 crores that have been sanctioned by the World Bank for the development of the road leading to Mawmaram will boost Tourism in the area.

The Mawmaram to NEPA Junction is a project of 64 crores covering a length of 41.527 km under MITP, expected to be completed by November 2024 [42 months].

The Mawlyndep Community Center is partially funded by the Chief Minister’s Special Development Fund.

Inaugurating the BioFloc Fish Tanks he said that the highest consumption of meat in the state is fish, consuming about 30,000 metric tons of fish annually.

“The state produces only about 50 per cent of the total consumption, so there is a huge gap in the demand and supply,” he said.

He added that the livelihood and the income that can be generated by using such kind of technology will not only meet the demand but can change lives thereby improving also the economy of the state.

The Chief Minister also handed over the ODF Certificate to Mawlyndep.

The village has been conferred with an ODF Plus Certificate for having been able to sustain the gains on becoming ODF that had been achieved through adequate accessibility to toilet facilities and usage and for progressing to higher standards of sanitation status by having systematic community-managed waste management arrangements both at household and institutional level characterised by optimum visual cleanliness in the village surroundings.

It may be mentioned that Mawlyndep village is one of the villages adopted by Rajya Sabha MP Dr WR Kharlukhi.
