Water and soil quality management, Feed and feeding management,

farming.
• Competency of the ‘LakshYuva Purush Bachat Gat’ members on these
training areas was v. low as they had never attended any training nor
had any knowledge on fisheries or aquaculture.

scores by them.
• Accordingly training areas were prioritised.
• A training programme in Marathi was designed
• A booklet on ‘Scientific Aquaculture’ was made in Marathi for
distribution.
• Basic questions related to the above mentioned training areas were
prepared to be administered before and after the training programme to
have pre and post training scores so as to test the improvement in the
knowledge and skill.
