The state government will conduct a door-to-door survey to learn the number of fishermen and sheep rearers in the state to provide employment to them.
The cabinet sub-committee on development of fisheries and sheep rearing held its first meeting at Secretariat on Thursday.
Govt hopes to generate `4,500 crore revenue through fishing. Animal husbandry minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav said they had an idea about the number of families as they were registered in the Samagra Kutumba Survey, adding that they would pay attention to fishing communities.
