Abstract

The Krishi Vigyan Kendra Ernakulam of ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), Kochi in collaboration with Palliakkal Service Cooperative society, Ezhikkara in Kerala’s Ernakulam district demonstrated a lucrative model of fish farming for landless farmers. The cage fish farming was done in Veerampuzha backwaters, a public water body in the district. The KVK initially conducted an entrepreneurship development programme for the farmers and subsequently conducted a series of follow-up trainings and provided constant technology backstopping while the Society provided low interest loan to meet the farming cost.
