and in addition water charges are being collected by the Irrigation Department forthe same resource. States like Bihar and Orissa have already initiated these reforms.However, commercial scale aquaculture activities, as in commercial plantations orindustry scale agriculture, may be differentially treated and taxed.Comprehensive water bodies leasing policy for fisheries and aquaculturedevelopmentOnly a maximum lease period is prescribed, as against a minimum period, inPanchayat Act for lease of village ponds. This has led to different leasing practices indifferent villages based on whims of Panchayats, which may harm the lessee’sinterest. Though the State has recently agreed for 5 years minimum lease, this needsto be followed by amendment.A comprehensive leasing policy for the leasing of all public water bodies for fisheriesirrespective of ownership (whether Panchayats, Irrigation Department, RevenueDepartment., etc.) shall be developed in Haryana. The policy shall balance thecompeting objectives of livelihood / welfare on the one hand and revenuegeneration on the other with lower priority to the latter. The minimum lease periodfor all types of resources shall be for seven years in order to ensure long termdevelopment of resource and providing sustainable livelihood. First priority of leaseshall be given to group of individuals from communities living in close proximity tothe resource.Special policy provision on use of saline and waterlogged areas foraquacultureHaryana has huge tracts of saline / salt affected area (45000 ha) and waterloggedarea (2.75 lakh ha) most of which have become unfit / unproductive for crop basedfarming. But, they are potential resources for both fresh water and salt water fishculture. Technologies for the same are already available for demonstration at CIFERohtak Centre. However, to popularize them, policy support would be required.Certification of fish seed and fish feed qualityQuality seed and feed are the most critical inputs in aquaculture and it is still a majorlimiting factor in States like Haryana.( 44 )
Lack of product as well as process standards has given rise to sub-standard anddubious seed and feed in market. Policy and legal instruments shall be put in placewith mandatory provisions for registration of all the seed producers (hatcheries,seed rearers/growers), feed manufacturers and suppliers / traders as well ascertification of the seed and feed quality.Government shall facilitate development of seed banks in private sector / public -private partnership mode for ensuring round the year availability of quality seed atlocal level. Incentives shall be given for yearling production within overall policy ofattaining self- sufficiency in seed production in Haryana.Introduction and regulation of exotic speciesThere shall be a clearly defined policy statement on introduction of exotics as well asregulation of its culture. Precautionary principle and scientific evidence shall informregulatory decisions while reconciling aquaculture developmental needs as well asbiodiversity conservation requirementsChanges in DoF’s Recruitment policyAt present, the eligibility for entry level FEO/FO position (100% direct recruitment)and DFO/FDOs (50% through direct recruitment and 50 % by promotion) is B.Sc.Zoology with or without specialization in fisheries and BFSc degree is not beinggiven any weightage. This requires to be changed on the lines of Punjab and mostother States for two reasons. To steer aquaculture development, presence ofcompetent professionals in DoF is very essential. Besides, unlike earlier days, nowprofessional BFSc fisheries graduates are available. Hence, BFSc professionalsshould be given preference in recruitment.( 45 )
