The programme was led by Dr. Debasis De, Head of KRC, as the Course Director, and was efficiently coordinated by Shri Biju I.F, and Dr. Moumita Ash, Scientists of KRC. The comprehensive training and field exposure aimed to enhance the students’ understanding and preparedness for harnessing the potential and facing the challenges in brackishwater aquaculture.
