It gives me immense pleasure that the <strong>Working</strong> <strong>Group</strong> <strong>Report</strong> on FisheriesDevelopment in Haryana led by Dr. W.S. Lakra, has done a SWOT (strengths,weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis of fisheries in the State, identifiedkey issues and suggested policy intervention for fishery development as acomponent of integrated diversified agricultural practices for higher income to thefarmers. The <strong>Working</strong> <strong>Group</strong> conducted series of meetings with fish farmers,entrepreneurs, researchers, field functionaries, line departments and policy makersfor framing these recommendations. I congratulate Dr. Lakra and his team for theirsincere efforts and timely action in bringing out this valuable report entitled“<strong>Working</strong> <strong>Group</strong> <strong>Report</strong> on Fisheries Development in Haryana: Status,Prospects and Options”. I am sure, the Department of Fisheries, Govt. ofHaryana, Lala Lajpat Rai University of Veterinary & Animal Sciences, Hisar andFarm Advisory Agencies and farmers will take full advantage of theserecommendations. Through its recommendations, this important publication will beof immense use to the planners, administrators, scientists, and other stakeholders,for betterment of resource poor small farm holders through sustainable & profitableagriculture by making best use of brackish, saline/sodic water resources and wastelands unfit for crop agriculture.(R.

DIRECTOR/VICE CHANCELLORCIFE, ICAR & CHAIRMANWORKING GROUP ON FISHERIESDEVELOPMENT IN HARYANAPREFACEFisheries and aquaculture are vibrant economic activities and have been one of thefastest growing food production systems during the last three decades in India. Withabout 8 million tonnes of fish production, India ranks second in global capture andculture fisheries production. Its significance and contribution towards agriculturalGDP (5.4 per cent) and national economies (1.1 per cent GDP), livelihood andnutritional security, employment generation (14.5 million people) and foreignexchange earnings (over Rs.12000 crores in 2011-12) have been enormous,though understated so far.Haryana is one of the main engines of growth propelling Indian aquacultureforward with 58,436 ha of potential water resources, 18,000 ha of culture area andabout one lakh tonnes of fish production. Though it contributes only 2.1% in inlandfish production of India, the productivity (5.5 tonnes/ha) is twice the nationalaverage and has been growing faster (11.4%) than the rest of India (8%) during thelast two decades. With the pond resources fully exploited in Haryana, the unutilizedsalt affected and waterlogged areas hold the maximum potential for fisheriesdevelopment in the immediate future. As the report underlies, the fish productioncan become 3.5 lakh tonnes by 2022 if these resources are harnessed throughappropriate technological and managerial interventions.This report of the <strong>Working</strong> <strong>Group</strong> on Fisheries assesses the present status of fisheriesdevelopment in Haryana, identifies the opportunities as well as challenges forfurther development and provides appropriate technological, developmental and( v )
