Bhilai, Mar 11: Chhattisgarh state government has provided many facilities to fishermen by providing status to farming to fisheries. Just like farmers, the fishermen will be able to take loans from the cooperative bank and other similar facilities, stated Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel while addressing the convention of Nishad Samaj at village Thakuraeintola of Patan Block on Thursday.

Nishad Raj has been the ideal character of Ramayana.
