According to the Director, Fisheries, the DoF till now has brought about 18,000 haarea under fish culture while it was 58 ha in 1966 with nearly 1 lakh tonnes of fishproduction and has crossed the target kept for XI FYP (2007-2012). He indicatedthe following infrastructure available with DOF for fisheries development: 15 Stategovt. seed farms and equal number of hatcheries; 18 number of FFDAs, OneTraining Institute (ARTI) at Hisar, 114 Field officers with DoF. Higher land price inthe State has led to decline in private ponds i.e. from 2000 ha earlier to 1200 ha as ofnow. Major resource is village community ponds that are very high yielding withoutexternal inputs as they are washed by good no. of cattle population and hence 90%of village ponds are on lease earning >25 crores of lease money / year. There is oneHealth Care Centre each in all 21 districts though very few diseases are reported.Fifteen poly clinic aqua shops are available at every seed farm while a full- fledgedState diagnostic lab has been set up at ARTI, Hisar. Ornamental fish hatchery isestablished at Karnal. There are 13000 fish farmers on roll with each being assistedby 2-3 labours / partners (Elsewhere in DoF website it is indicated that the no. of fishfarmers were to be increased to 20,000 by 2011-2012, while persons engaged infisheries trade were to be increased to 60,000 by 2011-2012).However, fish farmers from Hisar, Karnal and Rohtak during interaction meetingsexpressed ignorance of any health care centres / aqua poly clinics being availed bythem while they tried in vain to resolve their practical problem of fish mortality inover stocked and polluted village ponds with high organic load. The lack of detailedinformation from DoF side does not let reasonably assess the utility of public sectorseed farms, health care centres and activities of its training centre at Hisar.DoF Staff PositionAs of 2010-11, the total staff strength i.e. in position with Dept. of Fisheries, Haryana(Table 2.6)was 532 out of which 141 belonged to technical cadre includingsenior officers/management, 131 belonged to administrative cadre and260 were supporting staff. The sanctioned strength was 707, which meansnearly 25% vacancy existed, though the vacancy among middle and lowerlevel technical cadre was as high as 34%.Probably, vacancy level may besimilar to other development departments in Haryana or Fisheries Departments of( 20 )
other States given the moratorium on fresh recruitment, but higher proportion ofshortage of technical staff in the fastest growing food production sectorwould mean a premature death knell.Table 2.6 Status of Human Resources available with DoF, Haryana 2010-11Sl.No.DoF Staff CadreSanctionPositionFilled uppositionVacancyPercentVacancy1.

Closerscrutiny of the staff position provided by DoF, Haryana (fig 2.6) reveals that of the totalfilled in position (141) in the technical cadre, 64% only are in the district levelposting while 36% are in HQ and 8% are in fish farms and the Hisartraining institute (ARTI).Thus, for instance while Ambala Division has only 4.6% water resource areasuitable for fish culture in the State, it has nearly 17% of technical staffposted, (fig. 2.7) while Gurgaon and Hisar Division have far less proportion ofposting of the existing staff than their water resource area demands and only in RohtakDivision the staff strength and resource area seem to match.From another perspective, on an average a single technical staff has to coveronly 121 ha of resource/culture area in his district as of now which is very low( 21 )
