The millions of hectares of unutilised and underutilised water bodies with the same numbers of enthusiastic aquapreneurs are the biggest opportunity for us. Proper utilisation of these resources can bring prosperity in the society with fulfilling income as well as nutrition need.
Facilitator : We are a sectoral and thematic organization where our works are focussed in a particular field.
The unemployment and migration problem in the rural India along with underutilised and unutilised aquatic resources led us to work for the masses.
