Community engagement through aquaculture
Adopt the Village in East Midnapore
Kajla Janakalyan Samity (KJKS) and Aqua Doctor Solutions, in collaboration with Upakulia Primary Matsyajeebi Samabay Samity Ltd. (UPMSS), run a transformative initiative in East Medinipur, West Bengal, to revolutionise sustainable aquaculture and rural livelihoods.
Despite the region's vast inland water resources, only part of them are productively utilised. The project's core mission is to enhance incomes, create jobs and establish a climate-resilient aquaculture value chain through eco-friendly technologies.
