Chapter 01: Introduction

1.1 Project Definition:
The project will be called as the “Fish Farming Project”.

5
Fish farming or pisciculture involves raising fish commercially in tanks or enclosures such as
fish ponds. This covers aspects of breeding, rearing, and transplantation of fish by artificial
means. It is the principal form of aquaculture, while other methods may fall under
mariculture. It involves raising fish commercially in tanks or enclosures, usually for food. It
is the principal form of aquaculture. This is different from a facility that releases juvenile fish
into the wild for recreational fishing or to supplement a species' natural numbers which is
generally referred to as a fish hatchery. Worldwide, the most important fish species produced
in fish farming are carp, tilapia, salmon, and catfish. Demand is increasing for fish and fish
protein, which has resulted in widespread overfishing in wild fisheries.
1.2 Concept

Fish is cheap source of protein. Fist is in good demand in Local area. Few families have
worked as fishermen. But they are not exposed to current facilities. The current Project
envisage to establish a local Fisheries hub. Fish Farming support to 250 households has been
envisaged. Households interested in Fisheries shall be selected from Self Help Group
Members. Based on prior experience and /or ownership of waterbodies. Interested new
entrants may be selected if agree to create pond at their own cost or under MGNREGS.
Minimum pond size is 100 Ft X 100 Ft. Participating households shall receive training and
exposure in recent Fish Production Techniques. They shall be provided with two batch of
Fish lings to practice advance trainings on field. The Fish Farms would contribute to
enhanced income as well as to improve women and child health outcome indicators.

1.3 Scope

Villages in the proposed Rurban clusters does have lot of under used lands. There are some
perennial ponds. But a lot more can be created to cater to the emerging market demand. What
is presently holding them back is a facility of aggregation and primary processing, so that the
concerns of storage and price variation is minimized. Simdega is identified as a major
prospect for future growth. Establishment of Clustered Fish Farming facilities would enable
the cluster to achieve its potential as a modern hub. Simdega is marked by very low level of
chemical penetration and residual toxicity. Organically grown products with in-situ
processing facility can fetch premium price over current market rate.

The annual consumption of fish in Jharkhand is nearly 4.5 lakh tones, against the present
annual production of around 2.25 to 2.50 lakh tones. The NSSO (1999-2000) data on
consumption pattern of fish in the state indicate that 455 households/thousand in rural and
300 households/thousand in urban areas were non- vegetarian against the all India average of
336 households/thousand and 285 households/thousands respectively. The per capita/annum
consumption of fish was estimated at 54.75 kg and 36.50 kg in rural and urban areas
respectively whereas that of 76.65 kg and 80.30 kg at all India level. It revealed that the state
has the larger the number of non-vegetarians population than all India averages but have
lower the rate of per capita consumption.
As per a recent sector survey data1 ,The fish consumption frequency is observed to be
changing in different seasons where fish consumption in winter in urban areas goes up to

62% respondent consuming fish every week from 35% consuming in Summers. Consumption
in monsoons is found to go up in the urban areas as compared to reduction of fish
consumption in Monsoons in rural areas.
Rohu among all varieties is the most chosen fish in rural areas with 55% consumers
preferring Rohu as their first choice in rural areas. Magur has 8% preference in rural areas by
consumers as their first choice. Likewise, Rohu is also preferred by 45% urban consumers as
their first preference followed by Katla (23%).
While 72 % urban consumers reported buying fish sourced from ice boxes, 60 % rural
consumers reported buying fish fresh from river/pond. Ice box fish ideally refers to fish from
Andhra Pradesh or unsold fish stored in ice.
The price elasticity of fish with respect to other non-vegetarian products bring to light that a
decrease in price of fish by 20% will trigger more fish consumption in 31% consumers but an
increase in price of fish by 20% would not affect around 76% consumers. The annual average
per capita purchase of fish is found to be 10.3 kgs for the state. This is 9.29 kgs in Rural and
11.32 kgs in urban.
1.4 Project Details
The Union Cabinet on 16th September, 2015, approved the Shyama Prasad Mukherji Rurban
Mission (SPMRM). The Mission aims at the development of rural growth clusters which
have latent potential for growth in all States and UTs, which would trigger overall
development in the region. These clusters would be developed by provisioning of economic
activities, developing skills & local entrepreneurship and providing infrastructure amenities.
These clusters would also be well delineated areas with planned layouts prepared following
the planning norms as laid down in the State Town and Country Planning Acts. The National
Rurban Mission (NRuM) aims to create 300 such Rurban growth clusters over the next three
years, across the country.
Aidega cluster is one of the clusters identified for Rurban Mission in the state of Jharkhand.
The cluster is located nearby Kolebira , a prime communication spot in the district. Even
though it’s well connected; it is marked by traditional agricultural practices and low
economic participation. The place is well connected with State capital Ranchi, and cities like
Rourkela and Jamshedpur. Establishing a Rurban Agribusiness Hub in the cluster shall
facilitate agriculture growth, economic development and improve economic status of women
producers in the area. Considering this various fruit and vegetable processing units are
envisaged in this area. The area has a good collection of Blackberry plants. It gives
opportunity to set up a dedicated blackberry processing infrastructure.
Freshwater aquaculture in India by and large centres on the pond-based systems. However,
there are limitations for growth in pond-based aquaculture, considering the ever increasing
and often conflicting cross-sectoral demands for water and land. Fish Farming is the art and
science of growing fishes for the commercial purpose. Fish farming is one of the booming
business in India. Well, 70 to 80 percent of Indians prefer fish meat to eat and consume. As
the rate of population increases the demand for fishes is also increasing. We planned for
farming the Catla and Rohu fish ling because of those fish has been sold in fresh condition
and has a good value, good price and demand in the market. Up to 50 species are recorded in

7
India. It has a higher growth rate and can adjust with other major carps, definite surface
feeding habit and its preference made it popular in the pin latitude and longitude. The
temperature limit is 14 C. The allocation of Catla seems to be governed by temperature
enslavement rather than latitude and longitude. The minimum tolerance temperature limit is
~14°C. Catla is a eurythermal species which grows best at 25-32°C of water temperature. It
grows at faster rate relatively when compared to some other carp species. It is grown in poly-
culture ponds also with other carp fish species, especially with Rui and Mrigal fish. Its
demand is increasing gradually.

Chapter-2: Location of the Project

2.1 Location of the Project in ICAP
Cold room is one of the project demanded from the community while preparing the
Integrated Cluster Action Plan (ICAP) of the Aidega cluster and it is included as a project in
funded form CGF of the Mission. It can be found on page no. 60 of the ICAP of Aidega
cluster.
2.2 About the Cluster
Aidega cluster is located in Kolebira Block of Simdega District. The cluster has two
Panchayats, namely Lachragarh and Aidega, consisting of 7 villages. Cluster has the total
population of 7282 which registered the decadal growth of 17.23% between year 2011 and
2016. Around 16.5% of this population comprises of children between the age group of zero
to six years. It has a literacy rate of 41.38% which is a matter of concern. 70% of the
population is ST and 3% is SC. It has a sex ratio of 913 which seems to be improving when
looked at the child sex ratio of 949, but is still an area to work upon. Nearly 47% of the male
population is working but it is only 13% for the female population, which needs to be the
major focus of skill development and livelihood promotion. Around 80.11% of the workforce
is engaged in the farming activities.
Aidega cluster has two panchayat namely Lachragarh and Aidega and both are predominantly
are agri based. Both panchayat does rabi crops but not in sufficient manner, they have to be
depends on ups and downs of market, even they cannot grow crop at large scale to see it
vulnerability as there is no storage system, and if we have to achieve the vision of the Aidega
Cluster then there should be a system must be developed which can motivate the farmers to
grow their crops at large scale, to see the necessity of it Cold room will be installed at both of
panchayat.
2.3 Location of the Project Area

1. Lachragarh Lachragarh (2)
2. Kotgadh Aidega (1),
Pogliya (1)

The location for the proposed project is nearby market places of Aidega cluster and is
centrally located. Farmers and traders regularly visit this place in good number. The
commodity stored in the cold room may be transported to the local market i.e. Simdega city
or far-off market like Gumla, Ranchi and Jamshedpur. Demand for fresh vegetables and
mushroom is good in these cities. Transport to the far-off places may be done using thermo-
col boxes or thermal covers and blankets. Use of proper transportation means in the forward
linkage will ensure reduction of wastage as well as keeps products fresh. This will result in
the increase of price realization to the local farmers along with the reduction in wastage of
perishable crops.
2.4 Vision Statement:
“Development of a cluster of villages that preserve and nurture the essence of rural
community life with focus on equity and inclusiveness without compromising with the
facilities perceived to be essentially urban in nature, thus creating a cluster of “Rurban

9
Villages. The Aidega cluster will be developed as Agro-processing and Livelihood based
cluster by promoting entrepreneurship and skill development."

2.5 Outcome:
The immediate outcome would be
 Enhancement of Fish production and productivity in local area.
 Improved opportunities for self-employment for members.
 Improve availability of Protein in regular diet of participating household.
 Knowledge and skill upgradation of Fish farmers.
 Income enhancement of the participating families.
The larger outcomes envisaged under the NRuM are:
 Bridging the rural-urban divide-viz., economic, technological and those related to
facilities and services
 Stimulating local economic development with emphasis on reduction of poverty and
unemployment in rural areas
 Spreading development in the region and attracting investment in rural areas.

The proposed project will positively impact the cluster addressing all the aforesaid outcomes
of the Mission. Proposed cold room will provide temporary storage opportunity to the local
farmers. It will also act as catalyst to enhance vegetable and fruit processing in the area.
Project can be replicated within the cluster as well as in other clusters with attraction of
additional investment. All these aspects will result in the increase of price realization to the
local farmers along with the reduction in wastage of perishable crops.

 3.0 Technological Options
SITE SELECTION:

 Study ecological and physico-chemical nature of water and possible seasonal variation.
 Source and availability of water
 Maximum and minimum water level in the surrounding area at the time of flood and
drought.
 Study the status and /or possible water pollution.

Selection of pond for growing fish;

The pond or tank must be clean and filled with fresh water. In case of old pond, old water has
to be drained out. The old weed and fish has to be removed. The pond needs to be dried in
sunlight for several days. Disinfectant can be added to the pond before filling. Too many
algal blooms and other things if present have to be removed. To maintain the soil pH, liming
need to be added. The fish culture site is in easy access to be supervised.

Nutrients required and management Catla fish:

Proper nutrients have to be added to the soil irrespective of the pond, whether it is old or new.
These nutrients add the good growth of the marine plants in the water. The fish feeds on the
planktons. The marine ecosystem has to be balanced. This keeps the proper oxygen flow in
the water. The mixture of organic manure and fertilizers have to be added to resist soil
dryness. The above things are added 15 days prior to the stocking of the fish or fingerlings in
the water.

Rearing of fingerling:
Rearing of fish takes place for 15-20 days. After 2-3 months time of raising of fingerlings,
they
have been transferred to the main rearing area. Rearing of larvae of fish has to be done in the
earthen ponds. Nursery ponds have also been used simultaneously lined with brick or cement.
The pond area has to be 10000sqft . After 15-20 days time, the larvae have to be reared.
Other fish species can also be stocked if there is non- availability of the pond. But the
survival rate is 30-40%. Proper management and nutrition can be increased in case of nursery
ponds made of cement, needs stocking of 10-20 million per hectare only for using catla fish
larvae. In case of non-availability of the pond, you can also stock other fish species as well.

11
30-40% larvae survives. This can be increased by using proper nutritional methods and
management. The combination of oil-cake and rice bran is used for feeding purpose.

Feeding of fish:
Catla and Rohu fishes are mid-water and surface feeders. The young Catla feeds on both
phytoplankton and zooplankton whereas mature fish feeds on zooplankton only. They fed on
both natural and supplementary feeds in commercial fish farming. This usually benefit in
better production. Under aquaculture systems, they are habituated in taking rice bran, mustard
oil cake, wheat bran and other supplementary fish feeds.

Uses :
Catla fish is cultivated and bred for food purpose mainly. It is a very important species of fish
in aquaculture. In some places, it is often named as a game fish. It has a high rate in consumer
demand.

Harvesting :
Generally harvesting is done by the demand of the consumers. With proper management
methods of fish farming 3.5-4 tons of Catla fish per 10000sqft can be obtained in one year.
Catla fish has been harvested when it attains 1 kilogram or a bit more in weight according to
the consumer demand. Partial dewatering or repeated netting has been used for harvesting.
Sometimes, complete dewatering is needed to harvest the fish.

Packaging and Marketing :

In the local market, it has been sold as a fresh fish. After harvesting, fish can be sold directly
to the local market. For transporting to distant places, they need to be packed well in plastic
crates filled with crushed ice. This can keep the fish fresh and made ready for exporting. Post
harvesting is not done in case of fresh fish.

Yield and scope :

The following methods can increase the yield using proper methods for seed production.
 Better nutrition and health management.
 Selecting selected species for breeding purposes.
 In the fish farm, introducing processed fish and value added products.

12
  Exporting Catla fish where there is a low production.
 cleanliness for rearing of fish species have been maintained.

4. Approval Mechanism

4.1 Approval in ICAP: First and most important stage of approval mechanism is the Gram
Sabha approving all the projects to be taken up with prioritization. Gram Sabha for the
Lachragarh cluster in Kolebira block were held with all the PRIs, Pramukh, Elected ward
members, minimum one tenth of registered voters participating in the meeting. Each of
projects are widely discussed and debated among the community. Final list of projects to be
taken up along with priority was prepared and approved by the Gram Sabha in their
respective gram panchayat.
After discussion and to see school wall boundary necessity, it is approved in Gram Sabha and
hence included in ICAP. It is also approved in District after discussion about the contribution
from various line departments and of CGF amount in this project. It was chaired by the
DDC, Simdega. Hence thereafter final draft ICAP is submitted to the MoRD. And it is also
approved by Ministry of Rural Development – Government of India.
4.2 Technical Sanction:
After the ICAP is approved from MoRD, detailed estimate will be prepared as per the
schedule of rates (SORs) by JE/AE of block under the guidance of DDC/BDO. Items for
which the rates are not available in schedule of rates, the schedule of rates of the other
department in the district will be followed. If the rates of some material are not available in
any of the departments SoR then the prevailing market rate will be taken for calculation and
same is approved from competent authority like JE/AE as the case may be. The Junior
Engineer/ Assistant Engineer of concerned block will submit the estimation of project
proposal with detailed design to the Deputy Development Commissioner (DDC) and Block
Development officer (BDO). The Estimated cost of total 250 unit of Earth Worm Production
Center is Rs 25.00 Lakh (Rs Twenty-Five lakh only).

4.3 Administrative Approval:

After Technical Sanction DDC will forward it to Mission Director/Special Secretary for
Administrative Approval. The project does not require any land acquisition. Participant
households shall provide the necessary land to develop Organic Compost bed at their own
expense.

Assumptions:
 Any cost toward pond development (cost item 1) shall be borne by the farmers. Project
shall support them to buy fish lings (cost item 2) as indicated above. They can buy
additional fish lings on their own.
 The project proposes to support Cleaning of the pond & cost of Feed (cost Item 3 &4) to
every farmer during first year of operation. Material shall be procured centrally.
 The groups shall be provided with modern and quality fishing gear. Quality Fish net may
be procured village wise and rented by farmers as per need. (Cost item 5)
 Three days of cultural practice may be required to prepare a farm for fish farming in a
year. It would also require few medicine and nutrients. A lumpsum amount has been
allocate as per cost item 6 &7.
 A producer organization shall be registered by the end of 1st year. Every Farmer shall
contribute Rs.1500.00 as start up share capital (Cost item-8). Additional equipment like
aerator, pump, Handling & grading equipment may be owned/purchased by the producer
organization. However, they shall rent it out at a cost so that it replenishes and improves
the start us capital.
 A Technical Support agency may be hired to support Fisheries activity during First Year
of operation. They shall conduct Training and Capacity building of the farmers and help
district manage the project. A nominal facilitation cost has been proposed in Item 9.

Chapter 6. Revenue Streams

The project proposes to earn revenue by selling fishes. The project shall buy 15-day old fish
ling and grow it for 1 year. A100000 Square Feet Pond can support growth of 2500 common

16
carps (Rohu and Katla). Common carps shall be harvested by the time its body weight reach
800 Gram to1 KG. This takes almost 1 year of time. So total annual fish production by the
project is projected to be 2200 KG. Average market rate of common carp in the local area is
Rs. 100 per KG. So, project annual revenue from business is Rs. 220000.00/- (Rupees Two
Lakh Twenty Thousand).

Chapter 9: Conclusion2
Today, fish provides more than one billion poor people with most of their daily animal
protein. Fish provides nutrients and micronutrients that are essential to cognitive and physical
development, especially in children, and are an important part of a healthy diet. As an
affordable animal source of protein in some of the poorest countries, fish is the primary
source of nutrition, creating growing demand for this staple. However, fish supplies are

failing to meet demand and there are major shortages in some critically poor countries where
they are needed most. The very poor often rely on fishing as a primary source of income.
Increased productivity from sustainable fisheries and aquaculture can be a driver for rural
development by mitigating risks to livelihoods and contributing to income generation and
employment.

Improving the productivity of fisheries and aquaculture is vital to reducing hunger and
poverty for millions in the developing world. Sustainable, productive fisheries and
aquaculture improve food and nutrition security, increase income and improve livelihoods,
promote economic growth and protect our environment and natural resources. Sustainable,
productive fisheries and aquaculture improve food and nutrition security, increase income

The project proposes to tap and harness untapped potential of inland fisheries in Jharkhand
and specifically in Simdega.The project will implement cluster-based better management
practices, and develop sustainable seafood value chains. With support from both government
and technical institutions, this project will facilitate training, research and management
actions which make cluster-based better management practices, integrated multi-trophic
aquaculture value chains a reality in this cluster. There is a steady and growing demand of
fresh fishes in Simdega, Ranchi and Rourkella market. The project is economically viable. It
would actively contribute to doubling farmers’ income. The project needs a favourable
consideration by funding authority on the basis of the financial parameters explained in the
