21st – 27th March 2023, Barrackpore
Situated to the east of the Baghmati River, a tributary of the Ganga River, the Darbhanga district of Bihar is very innovative in its use of inland open waters. Despite having an abundance of aquatic resources, this district lacks an adequate quantity of fish to meet demand.
A 7-day training programme on "Inland Fisheries Management" has been organised at ICAR-Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute, Barrackpore from March 21–27, 2023, as part of a skill-development and capacity-building program with the aim of doubling the income of fishers, in response to the needs of the time.
The objective of the training programme was to bridge the knowledge, skill, and attitude gaps that existed among farmers and inland fisheries management.
A total of 30 active fish farmers with a representative from the state fishery department, took part in this program.
Dr. B.K. Das, Director, ICAR-CIFRI, emphasized priority on the need for fishers to acquire skills in many aspects of inland fisheries management to secure a sustainable livelihood. He also urged the fishermen to explore available resources for maximum output and productivity by exploring technologies.
Dr. Das also briefed the trainees about the new entrepreneurship avenues available in the inland fisheries of India.
Dr. Binoy Chakraborty, a renowned fishery scientist from Bangladesh was an honoured guest in the valedictory program.
