 Fisheries

                  Fisheries extension network promoting aquaculture starts with the office of the Asst. Director of fisheries at district level ,which is responsible for the effective operation of the extension system through out the district. It monitors and coordinates the technical wing of the extension system . Fishery extension officers are basically field level extension workers work at village level with active cooperation of  fishery demonstrators. Available water resources of Boudh district and area covered under pisciculture is mentioned below.

                  Boudh fish farm is one of the good breeding and rearing govt. farm of the state having 8.5 acre of water area comprising 4.80 acre of breeder tanks and 3.70 acre nursery tank. It also consists of 6 hatcheries and one spawnery for breeding and hatching purposes. During the current year ,the farm has achieved excellent production in spawn by producing 855.75 lakhs of spawn ,against the target of 600 lakhs which is a all time high production ,thus it not only catered to the requirements of as many as ten deficit districts of the state , but it also has inspired the private seed producers by providing them 113 lakhs of spawn. The farm also aims to produce more than 75 lakhs of fry against the target of 65 lakhs. So, out of total fry distribution target of 97 lakhs for the current financial year for the district, 75 lakhs will be met from departmental farms and rest will be met from OPDC, private producers.

                     Several groups under SGSY scheme have been promoted at Palsakutuni, Dumkutch and Padhel and more are to be promoted for fish farming.

                      FFDA has been established to popularize fish culture as an alternative means of employment generation and removal of poverty. Asst. director fisheries works as Chief Executive Officer of FFDA. It provides training to the selected beneficiaries, assists in construction and renovation water resources, arranging credit from nationalized banks. The most important gain from FFDA is that aquaculture as a commercially  profitable activity has been fully established.

                        Boudh district  has a good number of  water bodies like  tanks, ponds, MIPs suitable for pisciculture. The detailed resource potential of the district  is stated below.                                                                                            

                         Besides rivers such as Mahanadi, Telnadi, Baghanadi and Salunki provide good capture fishery resources for the fishermen of the district..

            a)             Total nos.of Fisherman village-                  158

            b)             Total nos.of Fisherman -                           7649

                           i)    Male-                                                      3880

                           ii)   Female-                                                  3769

                         Most of the Fisherman of this district reside on the bank of river Mahanadi & Tel Nadi who depend upon the capture fishing profession in order to maintain their livelihood.

Different schemes implemented in the district for Fisheries Development.

                        For all round development of Fisheries  Fish Farmers Development Agency (F.F,.D.A) has been constituted in the district with Collector as the Chairman & Asst.Director of Fisheries as the Chief Executive Officer of the Agency. Under FFDA, Project proposals are prepared and sponsored to banks with provision of admissible subsidy which is underlined below.

                        Besides there is enough financial opportunities for the entrepreneurs  for development of fresh water fish / prawn seed hatcheries and production  & culture of ornamental fishes.

                        Under group accident insurance scheme 5500 active fishermen of the district have been enlisted. The insured does not have to pay the premium as it is shared equally by the State and Govt. of India. In case of death or permanent disability the nominee / insured gets compensation of an amount of Rs.1,00,000/-and Rs. 50,000/- incase of  partial disability. Under J.B.Y Insurance scheme the beneficiary/fisherman deposits Rs.100/- as premium value and the matching amount of Rs.100/- is deposited by the Insurance company for a year. In case of death or permanent disability during fishing hours the insured / nominee gets compensation of Rs.75,000/- and Rs.37,500/- incase of partial disability. For normal death there is provision of Rs.30,000/- as compensation.

                        There is a Govt. Fish Farm at district headquarters having total area of 18.54    Ac. and total water area of 10.00 Ac. The farm is used for producing quality fish seed i.e. spawn, fry & fingerlings to meet the demand of fish farmers of the district and other districts also. The production capacity of the farm  is 1000 lakhs of spawn and 75 lakhs of fry. Due to adverse weather conditions 578.50 lakhs of spawn and 66.35 lakhs of fish fry could be produced this year.

                        An amount of Rs.15.00 lakhs have been received  from DRDA, Boudh under SGSY infrastructure development for remodeling of Boudh Fish Farm. Works like construction of quality control laboratory, Fry packing yard, Remodeling of hatchery complex and electrification etc. have been completed and put to use.

                        The Govt. has assigned a target for excavation of 150 nos. of multipurpose farm ponds, 50 in each block under NREGS. The beneficiary should be a Small / Marginal farmer and at least  50% of them should belong to SC / ST. The pond size will be 0.50Ac. with estimated cost varying from Rs.1.15 lakh to Rs.1.50 lakh.  The list of 209 beneficiaries have so far been selected. 59 cases has been financially approved by the Collector and work order issued in favour of the beneficiaries. The excavation works are in progress.

 TARGET & ACHIEVEMENT IN FISHERIES SECTOR DURING 2010-11     ( As on 28.02.2011 ) 

1.                  To boost the production of milk, egg & meat by adopting modern scientific method.

2.                  Adequate health care / preventive measures, up-gradation of livestock.

3.                 To improve the socio-economic condition by providing self-employment opportunities to unemployed youth and to raise the  family income.

                          Animal Husbandry is an upcoming sector in Boudh District. Around 80% of the rural households own livestock and earn their supplementary income. Livestock production is an integral part of the rural livelihood systems. Livestock production takes place in millions of small holders, scattered throughout Boudh District. Livestock are an important component of household income in rural area.

                           The poorer people often depend for a large part of their livelihoods on small and marginal land holdings. However landless people often have little opportunity for their livelihood. Animal Husbandry provides them some subsistence income and nutrition to their family.

                          Improvement in livestock production is an important pathway for increasing the income of marginal and small farmers and landless labourers, for the uncertainties of crop production. However there is a need to provides an enabling environment in which livestock rearers are able to take advantage of the opportunities, overcome the challenges and meet the threats. Livestock production has the potential to demonstrate appreciable growth by giving right kind of support.

1.                  Animal Health Care Service (Ex. Deworming, Treatment, Vaccination etc.)          

2.                  Breeding Services (Ex. By doing A.I)

3.                  Feed & Fodder Development (Ex. By producing hybrid fodder)   

4.                  Marketing Facility (Ex. By producing Egg, Milk & Meat)

5.                  Extension Services (Ex. Advisory services)

 The following veterinary institutions are now functioning in Boudh District:-

            The growing demand of milk and milk product provides opportunity for the rural poor. The total Milk production of Boudh District is 14.5 TMT. In order to increase the present per capita consumption of milk 94gm. per day against the state average 104gm. per day, National average of 220gm. per day. It requires massive awareness campaigns/ training at different levels to attract and encourage rural farmers.  

            In Boudh there is 1 no. of Milk Chilling Plant of 5000 ltrs. capacity at Charichhak, 3 nos. of Bulk Cooler of 1000 ltrs. capacity at Boudh and 500 ltrs capacity at Manamunda and Kantamal, 48 nos. of Milk Producers Co-operative Societies with 18 nos. of A.I. Centre by OMFED.

            The infrastructure development of Dairy Farms to enable practical exposure to dairy management practices will develop the capacity of farmers to manage the livestock resources efficiently. This will facilitate the process of Dairy development through active participation of animal owners. The convergence of supplementary infrastructure support and capacity building will bridge the existing critical infrastructure gaps and add value to the other programme.  

            Fodder Cultivation is an important part of Dairy development. The total area available under grazing green fodder cultivation in Boudh is 60 ha. The estimated fodder production is 750 tonnes.

            So following steps can be taken up for Dairy development -     

1.          Financing for Dairy Units can be steeped up by Banks along the milk routes.

2.          Calf rearing, heifer rearing and commercial dairy proposal are to be encouraged.

3.        SHGs may be grouped as Fodder groups. Dairy farming groups, Processing groups, Khoa, Ghee and Panner and linkages among them are to be established and financed for the respective activities.

4.         Techniques such as urea treatment of straws may be popularized and the farmers are trained in the technique.

5.          Azolla cultivation may be promoted.

            There is a heavy demand of meat in Boudh District. The total meat production in Boudh District is around 1.072 TMT. Per capita meat available is 1.3 kg./per year as against National requirement 6 kg./per year with requirement of 11 kg./per year. So Chevon (Goad meat) accounts for 73%, shep mutton 17% and pork & beef 10% of the total meat production.

            In Boudh there are two excellent Goat breeds are reared such as i.e. Ganjam and Black Bengal. Similarly two excellent Sheep breeds are reared such as i.e. Ganjam and Bolangir. Due to the emphasis laid in increasing the lending under SGSY all the Banks i.e. Commercial   Co-operative and RRBs increased their lending for the sector. Commercial Banks account for 59%, RRBs 37% and Co-operative Banks 4% of the ground level credit for goat farming during the last year. But inadequate supply or availability of quality breeding Bucks, grazing lands and Veterinary infrastructure are major constraints in the sector.

            So following steps can be taken up for Sheep and Goat development -      

1.                  Beneficiaries may be advised to follow selective breeding in sheep and goat by hybrid Ram/Buck.

2.                  Advising beneficiaries to exchange Ram/Buck among the units after 3^rd year to prevent inbreeding.

3.                  Financing silvipasture schemes.

4.                  Financing meat processing units.

5.                  Promoting leather processing unit in cluster approach.

6.                  Pursuing with the Municipalities/NAC for setting up scientific slaughter houses for hygienic meat production. 

                              The total Poultry population of Boudh District is 1,75,905 .

                             The total Egg production in Boudh District is 9.8 million/year.

                 Per capita availability of Egg is 34nos./year, the National level availability 35nos./year as against requirement of 180/year.

                Under SGSY infrastructure fund of Rs. 20 Lakhs one poultry hatchery has been established, which is expected to produce 2.2 Lakhs nos day old chick for backyard poultry i.e. “Vanaraj”.

                 The positive impact of according Agriculture Status to Poultry in the State is being realized as observed from the steep increase in the Bank lending to this sector in the past two years. However, the decisions taken by the apex committee to promote poultry development such as exemption of the sector from labour laws, supplying power for poultry farming at concessional rates, exemption of maize, broken rice and poultry feed from VAT and entry tax are to be taken up with the Labour Department, OERC and Finance Departments of the State Govt. respectively. There is good potential to set up breeding farms with parent stock of low input technology birds for producing hatching eggs and supplying to Govt. hatcheries.

                  So following steps can be taken up for Poultry development -        

1.                  Financing for commercial layer and Broiler units.

2.                  Encouraging broiler meat processing schemes, retail poultry dressing units and egg cart/broiler cart schemes.

3.                  Financing SHGs for setting up backyard poultry unit with Vanaraja, Giriraja birds.

4.                  Financing for setting up feed mixing plants.

5.                  Extending S.T. Loan for maize cultivation.
