Project Details
Supported by : SVP Hyderabad
Fishery activities has been a traditional livelihood practices to the many fisherfolks and marginal farmers in the Kumuram bheem Asifabad and Jayashankar Bhupalpally region. Challenges related to modern practices as well as sourcing seeds, acquiring feed, managing inputs and outputs, and marketing their fish loom large among the community members.
Through regular training and engagements with the fish farmers and communities under this project, a palpable interest in innovative fisheries practices began to flourish in the region. The introduction of a recirculatory aquaculture system at the Aqua School marked a significant turning point, teaching them cutting-edge technology and reducing input costs. Members learned how to produce their own seed from spawn, thus liberating themselves from the monopoly of seed sellers.
