Assam Farmers Boost Incomes with World Bank Prawn Project

Assam Farmers Boost Incomes with World Bank Prawn Project

Imagine farmers in Assam who grow fish.

They started adding freshwater prawns to their fish ponds.

The prawns are worth more than the fish they usually raise.

This project, funded by the World Bank, helped farmers learn how to raise the prawns.

It increased their profits without making them spend more money.

The farmers earned much more money than before.

Because of this success, more farmers are now raising prawns, and the government plans to expand the project to help even more people.
