Sikkim, the small but beautiful kingdom is situated in the Eastern Himalaya. Sikkim is termed as the Switzerland of the East, a heavenly paradise on earth. It covers an area of 2818 square miles 7325 square kilometers. Geographically it is 28 degree 07' 48" degree and 27 degree 04'46"North latitude, and 88 degree 00' 58' and 88 degree 55' 25" East longitude. The State Govt. has taken all possible initiatives to promote trout Culture in the state considering the suitable climatic condition and abundance of water. Presently, three trout breeding units are functional for production of sufficient trout seed in order to stock in various Govt. farms and supply to the private farmers in the vicinity. This programme has given a boost in adopting technology in private sector as there are 199 farmers in the state (52 in East district, 72 in West district and 42 in North and 33 in South district) at present compared to 2008-09 when there was only one private farmer in the state. Honorable Minister of Fisheries (Govt. of Sikkim) is pleased to see the progress and sought for developing 700 more trout farmers in the coming two years.
