"SEVAI-DESWOS Empower Women Farmers Through Fish Rearing and Biofloc Training at Amoor Kalanjium centre*

Biofloc fish rearing Unit 

SEVAI, with the support of DESWOS, is actively conducting hands-on training in modern fish farming methods at the Amoor Kalanjium Centre. The programme focuses on two approaches: traditional open pond fish rearing and the advanced Biofloc Technology system.

Through this initiative, SEVAI is training women farmers to take up fish rearing as a sustainable livelihood. Participants learn pond preparation, seed selection, water quality management, feeding practices, and disease prevention for open pond culture. Alongside this, they are introduced to Biofloc Technology, which allows high-density fish farming in small spaces using beneficial microbes to maintain water quality and reduce feed costs.

The training combines classroom sessions with practical demonstrations, enabling women to gain both technical knowledge and confidence. By equipping women farmers with these skills, SEVAI aims to enhance household nutrition, create additional income streams, and promote self-reliance in rural communities.

This effort reflects SEVAI’s commitment to building climate-resilient and women-led aquaculture enterprises at the grassroots level.🌿Govin🌿
