 CHAPTER 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Community programs can expand the opportunities for youth to acquire personal and social assets
and to experience the broad range of features of positive developmental settings.
Our team began by conducting a public survey to identify the primary issues people were facing
regarding Aqua farming. Through this survey, our team discovered several key concerns, and the
problems facing through agriculture farming.
The major problems finding from our survey was the higher feed cost, Lower productivity, Lower
profitability, Shortage of good quality fish seeds and disesases. And they are also facing by agriculture
farming are pets attack or any other calamity, Inferitility of land, water resourse depletion.
Additionally, our team found that improper disposal of hazardous waste, such as chemicals, was
contributing to water pollution and posing risks to health of the aquatic creatures .
To gain a deeper understanding of the Aqua culture, our team visited the local fish farm and gain
the knowledge and know their problems facing by aqua and agriculture farming. Here, our team observed
the entire process of aqua farming. Our team learned about the various methods used in aqua farming and
entire process of aqua farming.
During our visit, our team noticed that the workers at the facility were not using proper safety
measures such as masks and gloves. Our team highlighted the importance of implementing safety
protocols to protect their health and prevent accidents. Additionally, our team suggested implementing a
proper plan to separate recyclable plastic waste from other waste materials to facilitate recycling efforts
and reduce environmental impact.
To address the issues identified during the survey, our team proposed the implementation of breed
these fish in ponds using harmonal stimulation. This is ensured the supply of pure fish seed in desired
quantities. The major problem in composite fish culture is that many of these fish breed only during
monsoon. This problem can be overcome by breeding these fish using hormonal stimulation.

 CHAPTER 3: COMMUNITY SERVICE PART
In spearheading the community service project on Aqua farming in Devada village, we took on
the role of project coordinators, overseeing all aspects of planning, implementation, and evaluation. We
initiated the project by conducting comprehensive research to understand the specific needs and
challenges faced by farmers in the village. Drawing on our background in aquaculture and sustainable
development, we developed a tailored approach to promote aqua farming practices that would address
these challenges effectively.
Throughout the project, we played a hands-on role in organizing and facilitating farmer training
workshops, demonstration farms, and community engagement events. Leveraging our expertise, we
delivered informative sessions on water resources management, natural pest control methods, and
composting techniques, ensuring that farmers received practical guidance and support to implement
organic practices on their farms.
In addition to training and education, we worked diligently to secure resources and establish
partnerships to support the project's objectives.
Throughout the project, we maintained open communication channels with stakeholders,
including farmers, community leaders, and government officials, to garner support and foster
collaboration. By leading by example and demonstrating a strong commitment to sustainable
aquaculture and agriculture, we inspired others in the community to embrace organic farming practices
and contribute to the collective goal of building a more resilient and sustainable aqua cultural system.
Through door-to-door outreach and community meetings, we raised awareness about the aqua
farming, empowering community members to make informed choices. Collaborating with schools to
integrate agricultural and aquaculture education into the curriculum laid the foundation for a future
generation of environmentally conscious farmers.
In addition to coordinating the project, we actively engaged with the local community to
promote Aquaculture farming. Through door-to-door outreach and community meetings, we raised
awareness about sustainable aquaculture practices. We also collaborated with schools to integrate aqua
cultural education into the curriculum. By fostering a sense of ownership, we empowered farmers to
embrace organic methods for a more sustainable future in Devada village.

 CHAPTER 5: OUTCOMES DESCRIPTION
Details of the Socio-Economic Survey of the Village/Habitation
A socio-economic survey was conducted in Devada village to assess various aspects of
Aquaculture and agriculture in particular area. The survey aimed to gather information about the
Aquaculture and agriculture in that area to overcome the problems that are faced by them.
One of the major challenges identified during the survey is the Aquaculture and Agriculture are
the major problems that are facing with lack off shortage of good quality seeds.At particularly during the
winter season the water will be cool its harmful to the aquatic creatures to live then its causes more loss to
the farmer. This poses a significant risk to the farmer to depend on the aquaculture.
To address these challenges, multifaceted approaches are needed to enhance farm incomes and
create employment opportunities in the Devada village. The biggest problem in aqua culture in Envirl
impact that needs to be addressed if cultivation practices are not carried out properly.
Collaboration among community members can promote collective action and innovative solutions
to common challenges. Establishing community-based organizations or cooperatives can support
sustainable agriculture, waste reduction, and environmental conservation efforts.Considering social,
economic, and environmental dimensions ensures interventions are contextually appropriate, socially
equitable, and environmentally sustainable. Integrating impact assessments into planning processes helps
achieve meaningful and lasting improvements in waste management practices and community well-being
in the Devada village.

25
 Describe the problems you have identified in the community
To address the Aquaculture and Agriculture problems in particular village calla Devada which has
both Aquaculture farming and Agriculture farming :-

Major problem faced in AQUAFARMING:

The health and subsequent growth of fish are directly related to the quality of water in which the
fish are raised.

In general, factors affecting fish growth and production in freshwater aquatic systems can be
classified as physical, chemical/biochemical, or a combination.

The physical properties of water that are important to fish production and growth include
temperature and the concentrations of suspended and settle able solids; important chemical parameters
include pH, alkalinity, hardness, and metals.

Major problems faced in AGRICULTURE:

*Climate Change:* Erratic weather patterns, extreme temperatures, and unpredictable rainfall
affect crop yields and livestock production.

*Pests and Diseases:* Invasive species, pests, and plant diseases can devastate crops and reduce
yields, posing significant challenges to farmers.

*Water Scarcity:* Depletion of water sources and inefficient irrigation systems lead to water
scarcity, impacting crop growth and food production.

*Soil Degradation:* Soil erosion, nutrient depletion, and contamination diminish soil quality,
reducing its fertility and long-term productivity.

*Limited Access to Resources:* Smallholder farmers often lack access to modern technology,
quality seeds, fertilizers, and financial resources, hindering their productivity and competitiveness.

*Market Instability:* Fluctuating prices, unfair trade practices, and lack of market information
expose farmers to financial risks and uncertainties.

*Land Tenure Issues:* Insecure land rights and land grabbing threaten the livelihoods of small-
scale farmers, leading to conflicts and displacement.
26
 Short-term and long-term action plan for possible solutions for the
problems identified and that could be recommended to the
concerned authorities for implementation.

SHORT TERM ACTION PLANS :-

* The way to harvest a pond also greatly depends on the kind of fish it should yield
During harvest, stress to the fish should be reduced to a minimum, and
* After harvest, fish should be transferred to good water as soon as possible, for transport and, if
necessary, for storage.
* If the fish are not to be kept alive, as in the case of most table fish, local marketing
considerations become important. Even then, a good harvesting technique will make it easier to produce
good quality fish.

LONG TERM ACTION PLANS:-

* All ponds are unique, including the management strategies and overall goal of the pond owner.
* For some pond owners, management for increased fish production is at the top of their list.
* Common management strategies implemented to increase fish production include liming,
fertilizing, and supplemental feeding.

27
 Description of the Community awareness programs conducted with respect to
the problems and their outcomes.
As part of our project, we conducted several community awareness programs to address the issues
related to Aquaculture. Here is an overview of the activities conducted and their outcomes:
1. Interacting with the Public
We actively engaged with the community members by conducting face-to-face interactions to
understand their concerns and challenges regarding their work and process of farming.
2. Asking Them Questions
During our interactions, we asked specific questions to gather insights into the problems faced by
the community, such as the methods they used for aqua farming and agriculture.
3. Gathering Information
We also collaborated with local organizations and authorities to gather information about existing
problems of farmers facing in aquaculture and agriculture.
4. Addressing Their Queries
We addressed the community's queries and concerns by providing explanations about their
problems that facing by the farming with lack of educational knowledge and certain guidance towards the
process of farming. So our team guide them about the process of aquaculture and agriculture.
5. Explanation of Issues and Solutions
We explained the key issues identified during our research, such as water problem, environmental
impact. Additionally, we proposed practical solutions and strategies to address these challenges
effectively.
6.Demonstrating Practical Techniques
In addition to theoretical knowledge, we conducted practical demonstrations to showcase effective by ponds
using hormonal stimulation . This included hands-on sessions with people into implementing these practices in their
daily lives.

 GLIMPSE OF THE FIELD VISIT

Our visit to the Devada pond was part of the Community Service Project (CSP). We began by
inquiring about the aqua farming and process of aqua farming.

Upon visiting the pond area, we immediately noticed the plastic waste in that area. It was
concerning that it will leads to water pollution which is harmful for the fishes.
35
 As you can see there is a plastic waste material in the pond. So, we interacted with the fish farmer
who is head of that pond and say some suggestions to better and improve their fish product.
As we approach the aquafarming pond, you'll notice its strategic location, likely near a water source for
easy access and replenishment. The pond itself may vary in size, with some spanning vast expanses and
others more modest in scale. Its surface often glistens under the sunlight, reflecting the surrounding
landscape.
Upon closer inspection, you'll observe a well-engineered design, with features such as inlet and outlet
channels for water management, as well as aeration systems to ensure sufficient oxygen levels for aquatic
life. The water may appear clear, indicating proper filtration and maintenance practices.
Near the pond's edge, you might see equipment and infrastructure for feeding, monitoring water quality,
and harvesting. Depending on the type of aquafarming practiced, there could be tanks or pens housing
specific species like fish or shrimp.
The atmosphere around the pond is likely bustling with activity, as workers tend to various tasks such as
feeding, monitoring, and maintenance. Their expertise ensures the health and productivity of the
aquaculture operation.
Overall, visiting an aquafarming pond offers a firsthand glimpse into the intricate balance of nature and
technology, where sustainable practices support the cultivation of aquatic life for food production while
respecting the environment.

36
 Building rapport with agricultural farmers is essential for offering effective suggestions that lead to
satisfaction. By actively listening to their concerns and goals, advisors can tailor recommendations to their
specific needs. Practical advice on soil health, crop selection, and sustainable practices demonstrates a
commitment to their success. Providing access to resources like workshops and innovative technologies
further empowers farmers to thrive. Through this collaborative approach, based on trust and mutual
respect, farmers feel supported in navigating challenges and achieving their agricultural objectives.
Ultimately, it's about fostering a partnership where farmers feel heard, valued, and confident in their
farming practices.
Identifying Challenges: Engage farmers in open dialogue to understand their current challenges and
concerns, such as pest infestations, water scarcity, or market fluctuations. By actively listening to their
experiences, advisors can gain valuable insights into the specific obstacles hindering their productivity and
profitability.
Offering Tailored Solutions: Based on the farmers' feedback, provide personalized recommendations
and solutions tailored to address their unique circumstances. This might involve suggesting integrated pest
management strategies, water conservation techniques, or diversification of crops to mitigate market risks.
By offering practical advice that aligns with farmers' needs, advisors can empower them to overcome
challenges effectively.
