SDS has been at the forefront of establishing sustainable fisheries across Assam, Tripura, and Odisha. Recognizing rapid sectoral growth and the dominance of freshwater aquaculture, we focus on equitable outcomes. Our approach centers smallholders—bringing practical know-how, affordable technologies, and market linkages to transform livelihoods while nurturing resilient aquatic ecosystems.
At the core of SDS’s work is a dedication to transforming the livelihoods of rural fish farmers by providing essential knowledge, resources, and technical support. Our interventions boost incomes, strengthen producer groups, and embed practices that sustain both communities and aquatic ecosystems.
SDS helps farmers access the tools and techniques needed to sustainably scale their aquaculture operations. From pond preparation and water-quality protocols to species selection and health management, our playbooks and trainings are practical, modular, and tailored to local constraints.
From setting up hatcheries and nurseries to establishing modern feed mills, SDS covers every step of the fishery value chain. We integrate finance readiness, market linkages, cold-chain advisories, and simple record-keeping so that growth is efficient, equitable, and resilient.
