World Pulses Day
Start Date: Thursday, February 10, 2022
End Date: Thursday, February 10, 2022

Event Category : Other Event
Venue : Training Hall, KVK West Khasi Hills
Description : Smt. L. Warjri, Senior Scientist and Head gave the welcoming address and also gave a short speech on the history of World Pulses Day and also highlighted the importance and benefits of pulses for human health as well as improving soil health. SMS (Agronomy) emphasized on the nutritional quality and high protein content of pulses which is important to be included in every diet and especially why legumes should be part of a cropping system to help improve soil fertility as legumes have the ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen into the soil. Awareness was also created among farmers about the demand of pulses and with the rise in population in the country the current pulse production is not sufficient to meet the needs of the people which are the main cause for importing from foreign countries. Constraints as well as interventions in pulse production were discussed with the farmers which will enable them to understand the problems and different technologies they can adopt in their farming.

Field Demonstration on “Hapa breeding of common carp”
Start Date: Wednesday, April 10, 2019
End Date: Wednesday, April 10, 2019

Event Category : Other Event
Venue : Permadan Village, West Khasi Hills District, Meghalaya
Description : To help farmers produce fish seed from their own farm, KVK, West Khasi Hills organised Field Demonstration on “Hapa breeding of common carp” along with feeding, manuring and liming in fish pond at Permadan village, a programme sponsored by ATMA West Khasi Hills on the 10th April, 2019. Common carp, which has the ability to breed in confined water is an important fish species in Meghalaya that can survive cold winter periods making it one of the most suitable fish species for hill aquaculture. Even though common carp breeds naturally in the pond, the eggs and fry are very vulnerable and becomes prey to fish, frogs, insects, etc. Breeding of common carp in hapa protects the fish eggs from predators that can enhance fish seed production and providing employment. Once the healthy seed of common carp is produced in hapa, the seed is stocked in the nursery ponds and reared to fry and fingerlings size and farmers can earn by selling the common carp fingerlings.
