In the future, you will be entitled to promotions and salary increments.<\/p><p>You have experience in the digital field and technical knowledge. We will provide you with the facilities you require. Using these facilities, you must take forward programmes to provide our fishermen with knowledge of digital and modern technology as well.<\/p><p>We hope to provide all fisheries officers with electric motorcycles before the end of this year.
