The history of National Institute of FisheriesPost Harvest Technology and Training(NIFPHATT), erstwhile Integrated Fisheries

Project (IFP) goes back to October 17th 1952 whena tripartite AGREEMENT was signed by theGovernment of Norway and India and the UnitedNations in which it was agreed that the Governmentof Norway would assist the Government of India incarrying out a programme of developmental projectsto contribute to the furtherance of the economic andsocial welfare of the people of India. TheSupplementary Agreement signed on 24th January,1953 gave shape to an INDO NORWEGIANPROJECT for fisheries and fishermen communitydevelopment at Neendakara in the then Travancore-Cochin State (present Kerala State).

The activities of the Indo Norwegian Project atNeendakara was subsequently extended to Cochinwith the establishment of a fishing centre in 1957under the Second Supplementary Agreement signedon 21st April, 1956. The Project was continued tobe administered by the State Govt. under thesupervision of the Govt. of India and in consultationwith the Norwegian representatives till 1st April, 1963.With the extension of the activities of the Project tothe adjoining States of Tamilnadu and Karnataka,the Govt. of India took over the administration ofthe Project and shifted its headquarters fromNeendakara to Kochi, as conceived in the ThirdSupplementary Agreement which was signed on 27thNovember, 1961.

The main objectives of the Project at Neendakarahaving been fulfilled, it was handed over to the Govt.of Kerala with its different units, such as Health

1. History of the Institute

Centre, Ice Plant and Cold Store, Boat building yard,Workshop and Premo Pipe Factory etc. The Projectestablished new centres at Cannanore in Kerala State,Karwar in Karnataka and Mandapam in TamilnaduState during 1963-64, in addition to expanding theactivities at Ernakulam by acquiring a fleet of modernfishing trawlers and research vessels. The Projectacquired new dimensions with the construction of amodern marine workshop and slipway capable ofcatering to underwater repairs to fishing trawlers upto250 tonnes displacement, the first of its kind in thefishing industry of the country and a fish processingcum training centre at Kochi. Assistance was alsorendered to the construction of a fishing harbour atCannanore.

Under a new agreement signed between Govt.of India and Norway during 1967, the activities ofthe Project expanded to the new vistas coveringoffshore and deep sea exploratory fishing, practicaltraining and demonstration of modern technologyashore and at sea.

On termination of agreement with Govt. ofNorway in 1972, the administration of the Projectwas completely taken over by Govt. of India and theIndo Norwegian Project was renamed asINTEGRATED FISHERIES PROJECT. However,Non-Project aid from Norway in the form ofequipment and expertise continued and IntegratedFisheries Project functioned as the Central Agencyfor the import of Norwegian aid materials and fordistribution among other Fisheries organizations. Theestablishments of the Project at Cannanore, Karwarand Mandapam were handed over to the respectiveState Fisheries Departments. From 1st April, 1972

onwards the Project is administered by Govt. of Indiaand the Project continued its programmes as aCentral Sector Scheme under the Ministry ofAgriculture.

Realising the impact of the activities of the Projecton the development of Indian fisheries and thecontinued need for its developmental activities in thevarious fields in fishing industry, Govt. of Indiadeclared Integrated Fisheries Project as a permanentorganization with effect from 26.12.1974 videMinistry’s letter No.10-10/72-Fy(B&A) dated26.12.1974. Thereafter the programmes and policiesof the Project are framed and implemented undervarious Five Year Plans.

Consequent to the recommendations of twocommittees including Cadre Review Committeeconstituted by the Ministry of Agriculture to studythe working of IFP, made several recommendations

regarding reorientation of the project by transferringsome of its sections and activities to other subordinateoffices and also redefining the mandate. As a resultof this, 58 posts with 100 staff were transferred toFSI and 20 posts with 25 staff were transferred toCIFNET along with the vessel Tharangini during thelast quarter of 2005 vide Order No. 5-16/2002 Fy (T-5) (II) & (III) dated 19.05.2005. The processing andmarketing division, refrigeration section, trainingsection and civil engineering section had beenretained in IFP with a revised mandate.

During the year 2008, The Govt. of Indiarenamed the Project as National Institute of FisheriesPost Harvest Technology and Training vide GazetteNotification No. S.O. 937 dated 03.05.2008.Consequent on renaming the acronym “NIFPHATT”pronounced as “NIFFAT” has been selected for theInstitute.

4. Achievements before bifurcation

The contributions made by the Institute towardsharvest and post harvest operations of marinefish, infra structure support and man power

development for fishing industry are significantachievements are presented below:

4.1. Fish Harvesting Technology

The contribution in this area mainly consisted of:

(i) Survey and mapping of resources alongsouth east and south west coast,

(ii) Location of commercial concentrations offish and shell fish.

(iii) Introduction of diversified fishing methodsand training.

4.1.1. Resources Survey and monitoring

During the period between 1952-1998 a totalfishing effort of 68,380 hours was expended mainlyalong south west and south east coasts. Thedistribution of fishing effort in continental shelf and

oceanic waters of the region is furnished in the Table1. The Institute’s research vessel RV Varuna didpioneering work in fish resource studies and alsoparticipated in Indian Ocean expedition. The firstever fishing chart for this region was produced bythe Institute from the data generated.

4.1.2. Location of Commercial concentrationfish and shell fish.

During the period 1963-2001 the Institute’svessels landed the total of 15181 tonnes of fish andshell fish through diversified fishing operations.

4.1.2.1. Shrimp ground

Through sustained operation of the Institute’sboats during 1954-59 using diversified gearcombinations, commercially viable shrimp groundswere located at Karwar (9-33 m depth), Mangalore(16-29 m depth), Cannanore (9-25 m depth), Cochin(9-37 m depth) and Alleppey – Quilon belt (9-37 mdepth). Year wise break up of fish landed is furnishedin Annexure III.


13

4.1.2.2. Deep Sea Lobster Ground

The deep sea lobster resources (Puerulus sewelli)in depth range of 180 – 460 m along South westcoast between Karwar and Cape Comorin was firstidentified by the Institute during 1968-69. Thecommercial viability of this resource wasdemonstrated by the Institute by resorting to fishingfor this resource during 1969-1976.

4.1.2.3. Other Bottom fish resources

Extensive fishing in other areas lead to locatingperch grounds in the Wadge Bank, and the rockystructures between Mahe and Cochin andNemipterids between depth range of 36-55 mbetween Quilon and Calicut. Priacanthids and deepsea prawns are the other potential resources locatedduring the period.

4.1.2.4. Pelagic resources

Demonstrating the potential for Sardine,Mackerel and Anchovies through single boat and twoboat pelagic trawling and purse seining was a landmark achievement by the Institute on the south westcoast. Long lining for Tuna was attempted by theInstitute during 1975-77 and positive indications onits development potential recorded along west coast.

4.1.2.5. Antarctic Krill

The Institute was chosen to lead the first IndianExpedition to exploit Antarctic Krill, supposed to bethe sea food of future, organized by Department ofOcean Development (DOD), Govt. of India deployingits Antarctic Research vessel, Sagar Sampada during1996. The multi disciplinary and multi institutionalteam during its three months expedition to Antarcticwaters collected a lot of data on Antarctic Krill fisheryand brought a substantial quantity of krill to theInstitute for various product development studies.

4.1.3. Diversification of fishing methods andtraining.

Introduction of mechanized boats and deep seafishing vessels by the Institute through import and

indigenous construction paved the way for strategicshift of Indian fishing from traditional to modernmethods. Bottom trawling, pair trawling, bobbintrawling for deep sea resources, single boat and twoboat mid water/pelagic trawling, purse seining, longlining, trap fishing and handlining are the mainmethods introduced by the Institute during the pastfour decades. The technologies developed weredisseminated by the Institute.

To disseminate the experience and knowledgegained from the Institute’s experimental andexploratory fishing operations and to transmit thedevelopment of technology to other areas, theInstitute initiated various activities by way ofextending facilities, conducting short term trainingcourses, providing consultancy services and alsobringing out periodic publications in the form ofreports, scientific and technical papers and bulletins.Both fishermen and concerned officials were giventraining in batches at Cochin since 1959. A regulartraining programmes to train master fishermendeputed by State Govts. and industries was startedin August, 1969. Details of training coursesconducted along with the number of candidatestrained during the period 1967 to till 2009 and a listof publications of the Institute are given in AnnexureIV and Annexure V respectively.

The Institute conducted practical fisheryworkshops in purse seining, pelagic trawling etc. invarious maritime states. The purpose of theseworkshops was to make available to the fishermen,entrepreneurs and the concerned fishery officials, theknowledge gained by the investigations conductedby the Institute on various fishing methods and tocreate awareness in them with regard to the necessityto diversify the fishing techniques employed by them.The first workshop of this kind was organized atMangalore during March 1975 and subsequentlysimilar workshops were conducted at Beypore,Mandapam and Mahe.

4.2. Post Harvest Technology

The Achievements of the Institute in the fields of


14

post harvest technology can be summarized as:

(i) Development of processed fish products andby-products.

(ii) Pilot scale export of processed fish products.

(iii) Popularisation of processed fish products inthe domestic market.

(iv) R&D, Training and Consultancy.

4.2.1. Development of processed fishproducts.

When the Institute was set up, the domesticconsumer was not used to anything other than freshfish and the export trade had just begun a humblebeginning with moderate shrimp exports. TheInstitute commenced processing of fish into diverseproducts with the establishment of freezing plantmachinery during 1965-66, tunnel drier during 1975and fish canning plant in 1978. During the periodfrom 1966 to 2008 the Institute processed 8794tonnes of fish & shell fish in its various plants. Thedetails of annual production are furnished inAnnexure VIII.

4.2.1.1. Frozen Products

Procedure for bulk handling of shrimp,development of peeled and frozen shrimp products,hygienic proteins and quality control for shrimpproduction was introduced. Necessary technologicalsupport and consultancy was offered till the shrimpprocessing industry got stabilized.

With the location of rich grounds for deep sealobster in 1967, procedure for its processing andpackaging for export was standardized.

Cuttle fish processing was commenced in 1973-74 and procedures were evolved for its packagingand export.

Procedures for fin fish processing developedincluded block frozen and IQF round fish, fish steakes,fish fillets, fish fritters and minced fish meat.Processed products such as perch, cat fish, scianids,pink perch, baracuda, sardine, mackerel, tuna, horse

mackerel, ribbon fish, lizard fish etc. were marketedby the Institute.

4.2.1.2. Dried Products

Hygienic salted and dried products fromcommon and uncommon varieties of fishes in smallpackets at prices affordable to the consumer wereintroduced for the first time in India by this Institute.Dried products from shark, mackerel, pink perch,anchovies, silverbellies etc. found very goodacceptance, especially in land locked areas.

4.2.1.3. Smoked and Canned products

Smoked and canned oyster and mussels andcooked and canned tuna, marlin, mackerel andsardine were initially packed in imported aluminiumcans with easy open lids. The products were lateron packed in indigenous tin cans by a chilling importsubstitution. As a next step indigenous aluminiumcans were standardized and products were marketedin these cans. Various formulations for canned fishwith different packing media were tested andpopularized during the past two decades. Theproducts were reached to consumers in the urbansector and large scale users such as Defencedepartment.

4.2.1.4. Value added products

Fish cutlets, fish burgers and canned fish ballswere produced from fish mince obtained fromuncommon and low value white fish. Proceduresfor producing pickles from fish mince, fin fish, shrimpand bivalve meat and their packaging werestandardized. Fish curry in retortable pouches weredeveloped and test marketed.

4.2.1.5. Fishery by-products

Products for processing shark fin and fin rayswere standardized and popularized during 1981-82.Dried unsalted fish and fish powder as feed ingredientfor poultry, fish manure and fish silage were other byproducts developed in the Institute’s plant. Theseproducts were found ready acceptance in theagriculture and animal husbandry sectors.


15

4.2.2. Pilot scale export of processed fisheryproducts

In marine products exporting sector which waspredominantly shrimp oriented, governmental effortsto demonstrate the export potential of processed finfish and cuttle fish products were found necessary.The Institute addressed to this requirement byresorting to pilot scale export of consignments of suchproducts to various destinations. The significantachievements were:

(i) For the first time export of processed deep sealobster tails and lobster meat worth Rs.52 lakhsduring 1969-75.

(ii) Frozen cuttle fish was first exported from Indiaduring the period 1973-74.

(iii) Shark fin rays were exported for the first timefrom India by the Institute during 1984-85.Subsequent exports were made during 1986 and87.

(iv) Consignments consisting of value addedproducts such as fish mince, fish cutlets, fishfritters and clam meat were exported to MiddleEast during 1994-95.

(v) A consignment of squid and cuttle fish were airlifted from Trivandrum to Colombo during 1994-95.

4.2.2. Popularization of processed fishproducts in domestic market.

The implication of the popularization ofprocessed fish products in early sixties and seventiesby the Institute can be conceived only with anunderstanding that the fish eating public whichconfined to the narrow coastal belt would acceptnothing other than fresh fish, while sea fish is totallyunfamiliar to the populace in the hinder lands. Theurban dwellers would like to have it but it is not simplyavailable in places other than the coastal towns andcities.

4.2.3.1. Geographical coverage and outlet-wise sales

The marketing activities of the Institute started

during Sixties and at that time all efforts were madeto popularize fish in fresh form, iced form and also infrozen form throughout Kerala State. Subsequentlyduring Seventies, efforts were made to popularizefish products of all types in the neighbouring statesof Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. As a specificpromotional effort modern fish stalls were set up inthe cities of Chennai and Bangalore and the productswere sent from Cochin. After establishing theseoutlets in metropolitan cities, these were handed overto the respective State Governments. But directdistribution of fish and fish products by IFP in otherarea of the neighbouring states continued and duringeighties IFP started covering other regions of thecountry with canned and dried fish products. Tocreate more awareness about processed fish productsthe Institute conducted sea food special drives invarious places on all India basis to find out the effectof market promotion activities.

4.2.3.1.1. Ernakulam Stall

Situated in the heart of Cochin city, attached tothe Institute premises, this stall has been the mostpotential channel for distribution of IFP products. Alltypes of products like frozen fish, dried fish, cannedfish and speciality products are sold to the consumersin retail from this stall.

4.2.3.1.2. Alwaye Stall

Situated in the factory township of FACT at Eloor,this stall has a very limited potential in that theclientele here are strictly confined to the residentfactory employees of FACT, Travancore-CochinChemicals and Indian Rare Earth Movers. This stallhas been shifted to Angamali in December 1998 forbetter coverage.

4.2.3.1.3. Palai Stall

Situated in the suburban town of Palai on thevalleys of the high ranges in Kottayam district, thestall has good sales potential. Frozen, dried andcanned products find good market here.

4.2.3.1.4. Rural Marketing

The Institute has been conducting ruralmarketing and survey programmes since 1976-77


16

to cover the various market centres in the suburban,rural and high range areas of the Kottayam,Ernakulam, Edukki, Pathanmthitta and Quilondistricts in Kerala. Though interrupted due tounsteady supply levels, the programme could becarried out to the level of assessing the potentials inthe various marketing centres. It was understood thatregular and steady supply according to the marketrequirements will help to boost the sales in these areasimmensely. Fresh, frozen and dried products are wellaccepted in these ares.

4.2.3.1.5. Canned and dried fish outlet inKrishi Bhavan, New Delhi.

This outlet was established during 1983 October.The aim of this outlet was to popularize the cannedfish and dried fish products to the middle class andlower middle class population of the city. Publicitywas given through newspapers about the stall andproducts available. The initial hesitation about thecanned fish thinking it was too sophisticated wasproved to be otherwise. In due course, bulk of thecustomers was from middle class and lower middleclass sections of the society. With regard to the driedfish it was observed that initially people who areotherwise used to dry fish eating only came forwardand that too for the familiar varieties like mackerel,shark etc. In subsequent years almost all varieties ofdried fish were accepted not only by the regularcustomers but also large number of new customerswho never had eaten dried fish before.

This was possible only by continuous promotionand giving the recipes, leaflets etc. through the stalland explaining the various types of recipies andnutritive value to the customers through the stall.During 1993-94 pickle products in pouches andbottles were introduced in this stall which was alsoreadily accepted by the customers. The Govt.however decided to close down the stall with effectfrom 30.4.1994. From a mere Rs.1000 a month salein the initial stage, the sale in due course came toRs.25,000 per month and more. With steady supplyof canned, dried and pickled products it is possible

to promote the products in the capital city andneighbouring towns from Krishi Bhavan.

4.2.3.1.6. DealersIn recent years, a large number of dealers located

in various states of the country have shown a keeninterest in marketing IFP products. Presently theyaccount for about 25% of total sales in value terms.The dealers are from the public as well as privatesectors. The public sector dealers include Matsyafedof Kerala, Tamil Nadu Fisheries DevelopmentCorporation, Madhya Pradesh Matsya Nigam,Department of Fisheries of Assam and KovalamGrove etc. These dealers are spread over severalstates. The sales through dealers would have beensubstantially more but for supply constraints. Thedetails of sales through different outlets are given inAnnexure VI.

4.2.3.1.7. Transportation of products

The bulk of the frozen material and otherproducts sold in Kerala were transported by IFP’sown insulated vans. In case of sales outside Kerala(which included mainly dried and canned products),the materials were transported either by rail or byroad. The infrastructure for transporting frozenmaterial through rail and insulated trucks is adequate.However, infrastructure for preservation and sale offish in frozen condition at retail outlets level is gettingdeveloped at major demand centres. Thisinfrastructure is being used for multiple purposesincluding handling of poultry and meat products.

4.2.4. R&D, Training and Consultancy

New product development and value additionwas achieved through sustained R&D efforts of thedivision. The major R&D break through in the recentyears were:

(i) Standardisation of fish curry products inretortable pouches and commencement of pilotscale production and test launching of theproduct in Goa during 1995.

(ii) Acquisition of Surimi technology andconducting a series of training programmes in


17

association with MPEDA on fish paste basedproducts for the benefit of fish processingindustry.

(iii) Standardisation and induction of differentdenominations of indigenous drawn aluminiumcans for packing of fish.

(iv) Completion of R&D studies on packing of steriledrinking water for use in life saving appliancesfor ships.

(v) Transportation studies and product developmentfrom farmed green mussel during 1997-98.

(vi) Studies onboard processing of Antarctic krill andproduct development and test marketing indomestic sector during 1997.

5.6.2 Other need based training programmesoffered are Canning of sea foods, Productdevelopment from fresh water fish, Fish filletingand freezing, HACCP concepts, Refrigerationtechnology, Training on freezing plant and coldstorage service & maintenance.

Apprenticeship to VHSE completedstudents: NIFPHATT offers one year apprenticeshipto students who have completed VHSE in fishprocessing. So far 850 candidates have passed outfrom NIFPHATT.

Rural development programme: TheInstitute has launched skill upgradation programmein value added product processing for fisherwomen.Extensive training programmes are provided to SelfHelp Groups from fishermen community aimingat the dissemination of rural appropriate technologydeveloped by the Institute in seafood processing.

Processing and marketing of GreenMussel produce farmed by fishermen societies: NIFPHATT has enthused the fishermen societiesfor collective efforts of harvesting and makingavailable large quantities of green mussel for pre-processing. The material harvested from differentlocalities were brought to one destination anddepuration & shucking were carried out at a singlepoint under the supervision of the technical staff fromNIFPHATT. The produce was subjected to product

development and test marketing.

Processing & marketing of fresh waterfishes: NIFPHATT has experience in productdevelopment and its standardisation of fresh waterfishes while working in association with the KeralaFisheries Department’s Peoples campaign for freshwater fish culture. In addition, Department ofFisheries, West Godavari district, Government ofAndhra Pradesh has identified 200 Nos. ofIntermediate (+2) studied and above qualifiedentrepreneurs as Master Trainers to be intensivelytrained by NIFPHATT on Post harvest technologyand value added products from fresh water fish.The Master trainers in turn will transfer thetechnology to thousands of Kolleru lake inhabitantsunder Kolleru rehabilitation programme.

5.7 Recent R&D Efforts:

NATP: NIFPHATT was identified as the nodalagency for the commercial production, testmarketing and consumer response research of valueadded products from low-priced fish in major citiesand small towns under the World Bank fundedNational Agriculture Technology Project (NATP).The Institute disseminated all the successful workscarried out by it to the fishing industry by way ofworkshops, publication of booklets and byimparting Training and extending consultancy tothe Industry, etc.

Introduction of products in TFS (TinFree Steel) Cans: Processing section hasintroduced a new generation container for packingtuna fish in Tin Free Steel (TFS) cans duringJanuary 2004. These cans are made indigenouslyand are with easy open lids. There is a priceadvantage of almost 100% over that of theimported cans and hence a substantial saving inforeign exchange by way of import substitution.

“Light meat tuna in oil” and “Diet Tuna inwater” were introduced in TFS Cans. Diet tuna withno added oil is a totally novel concept in India to


23

provide low calorie canned food at a reasonableprice, and it is well accepted in the market as ahealthy food as it contains natural omega 3 andno added oil. Both these cans are introduced in themarket. So far NIFPHATT has produced more than1,00,000 cans and marketed in all major metrosin India. The feedback received from the dealersshows that NIFPHATT’s Sagar brand cannedproducts have replaced many reputed internationalbrands in supermarkets/ hypermarkets especially afterthe introduction of tuna products in TFS cans.

Instant fish curry in retortable flexiblepackages: NIFPHATT has developed fish curryproducts in retortable pouches as early as in 1994with the collaboration of Defence Food ResearchLaboratory (DFRL), Mysore.

DFRL used to produce meat and vegetablecurry products for supply to Defence forces. Butthe fish curry in retortable pouches is a totallynew concept conceived by NIFPHATT and theProject had standardized the product afterconducting extensive heat penetration studies ofdifferent products with different media usingmodern electronic gadgets like Ellab’s (Denmark)F0 Value monitor.

Consultancy is continuously provided inprocessing of fin fish to the industry especially inRetortable pouch packed products. Consultancy isalso extended by experts of the Institute in setting upof canning plant, processing plants, cold rooms,freezers and ice plants. User agencies being LDCL,A&N Administration, private industrialists andfishermen societies.

5.8 Specialized programmes:

Post tsunami relief and rehabilitationmeasures: Under this programme, NIFPHATThad extended its hand to the Tsunami affected Statesof Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Andaman &Nicobar islands for providing training andconsultancy services in post harvest seafoodtechnology & quality control, establishment of cold

storages & chains under the livelihood securitycomponent. Whereas Government of Kerala isutilizing the technology and services of NIFPHATTin the following:-

Training of Master Resource Persons: Throughthis programme, it is intended to produce a group oftrained personnel who can in turn train morebeneficiaries along the coastal area to producefishery products through hygienic and low costtechniques. This programme was implementedwith the help of NIFPHATT along the tsunamiaffected coastal districts. The Master ResourcePersons are being trained in NIFPHATT for onemonth in hygienic fish processing and quality controlusing rural appropriate technologies so thattechnically trained manpower rendered availablewill add momentum to the healthy growth of ourfishery economy. By using these trained MRPs,training can be imparted at secondary levels tohundreds of fishermen and women. An array of goodquality products and services will be renderedavailable to the society in general and a livelihoodmeans ensured to fisherwomen.

Sea Food Kitchen: Creation of job opportunitiesand expansion of economic activities are consideredimportant development strategies in tackling socialand economic trauma like Post Tsunami crisis.20 Sea Food Kitchens were proposed to beestablished at strategic locations of tsunami affecteddistricts by the individual groups (funded byGovernment departments), with technical andtechnological support of NIFPHATT. Each Unit willprovide employment to 10 people directly andnumber of people indirectly. Only ready to serve/cook products like Cutlets, fish curry, rice, tapioca,kababs, fish balls, breaded & battered anchovies,white sardine and other sea food snack items likecoated prawns, coated fillets, coated mussels, etc.are made in these Units on a daily basis. Theseenterprises can perform essential functions likecreating quality job opportunities and additionalincome, providing quality goods and services andcontribute significantly to the local economies.


24

For the common cause and mission of fisheriesdevelopment, we have consolidated the

synergies of all related institutions for every given taskthrough appropriate inter institutional linkages. Forexample in the instance of gender developmentof the fishermen community, NIFPHATT had

6.0 Inter Institutional interface

mutually beneficial interactions with Womens’Development Corporation, Social WelfareDepartment and local self governments(Panchayathi Raj institutions) fisheries departmentsof States like Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu andOrissa.

7.0 Future Prospects And Potential:

NIFPHATT will provide an ideal post harvesttechnology upgradation and dissemination facility,which can be easily replicated in all fishing States.

NIFPHATT’s services can be extended to allfishing States by opening Institute’s RegionalProcessing, Training & Extension Centres atminimum possible costs at locations where largequantities of fish are landed.

This will not only benefit the fish processingindustry of the country but also indirectly benefit theprimary producers (fishermen) by returning a bettershare of benefit.

The post harvest scenario including catering tothe domestic and overseas markets offers quite

a few opportunities and vistas to explore andexploit which undoubtedly pose quite as manyattendant challenges and demands. NIFPHATT islooking forward to utilizing these opportunities andtaking head on these challenges.

NIFPHATT will continue its key function ofPost harvest technology upgradation and itsappropriate dissemination by way of large scaleproduction and marketing of various value addedproducts from all varieties of captured and culturedfishes with accent on non-conventional resourcesand new generation products.

HRD efforts: As the national fisheryeconomy grows, there will be a heavy demand forqualified fishery professionals. NIFPHATT willcontinue to offer several need based on job

training programmes for all the students of thefisheries education system and build up a competentcadre. Also training of industry sponsored candidateswill be taken up.

Consultancy

NIFPHATT will also cater to the needs of the industrythrough consultancy, demonstration processingsand consumer response surveys.

Rural development programmes

In order to empower the rural populace in copingwith the developing national economy, NIFPHATTproposes to transfer rural appropriate technology tothe needy section with special accent on womenempowerment. The technologies so transferred willbe locally relevant, easily assimilable andeconomically viable so that transcribing of thesame will be easy for the beneficiaries.

8.0 ConclusionState Government’s Fisheries Departments will

also be exposed to new vistas of fish handling andprocesses as well as value addition and thus help intheir endeavours of regional development.

NIFPHATT, or any organisation for that matterhas to readjust itself to the changing needs ofchanging times. We are quite aware, however, thatwe will be adjudged based on how far we couldforesee changes to which we should redefineourselves. Our endeavours will be in that directionin the days to come.


25

Though fisheries are a state subject, being aNational Institute we envision it from a national

fisheries perspective. By the year 2020 NIFPHATTenvisages the best post harvest fish utilization andconsumption with the least post harvest losses anddelivery of the best quality fish and fish products inall the states of India through the proactiveparticipation and partnership of NIFPHATT with allstate fisheries departments of the country. We donot envisage creation of state level branches ofNIFPHATT. But we do propose to identify existingstate and central level fisheries institutions in eachstate for the requisite capacity building, projectformulation and fund sourcing to enable theachievement of above objective.

The proposed components are given below:

(1) Development of novel value addedunconventional products from unconventionalmarine and inland fish varieties and alsoseasonally abundant fish and Promotionalactivities for the development of fish productswhich are locally acceptable and appealing,incorporating locally acceptable process anduse of locally appealing ingredients andcondiments

(2) State level and national level campaignsprojecting the message that the fish is thehealthiest food emphasizing its vital role in thecardiac health and anti-aging properties.

(3) Spreading the message “the immense potentialof fish as a remedy for the protein deficientpopulation” among fisheries administrators andplanners of different states.

(4) Impressing upon state fisheries depts. the cryingnecessity for increased fish production and

VISION 2020 OF NIFPHATT FOR POST HARVEST FISHERYTECHNOLOGY UPGRADATION & TRAINING

consumption as well as reducing fish wastage.

(5) Active, persuasive and sustained interactionwith State Govts, Local Self Governments(Panchayati raj institutions) and local socialinstitutions to impress upon the dire necessityfor increasing fish production andconsumption.

(6) Partnership building with all the state fisheriesdepartments (DoFs) all over the country forrequisite capacity building among state fisheriesfunctionaries in the formulation of enablingprojects and sourcing the requisite fundthrough appropriate tools such as national andstate level workshops and training programmesin order to build up conviction among themthe dire necessity of the above mentionedobjectives.

(7) The component Projects shall be tailored in sucha way as to pose before the appropriate fundingagencies like NFDB, etc including state fisheriesbudget provisions. NIFPHATT will ensurerequired hand holding for state fisheriesfunctionaries to enable them to achieve theabove objectives.

(8) In order to enable NIFPHATT, the institute itselfshall be strengthened and the requisite capacitywill be built up.

(9) NIFPHATT will make appropriate interventionsin the fisheries education system of the countrywith renewed vigor in order to deliver a trainedcadre of fisheries experts in post harvesttechnology in the states and sub-sectors wheretheir service will be needed.

(10) NIFPHATT will act as a common facility centrefor exporters to enable them to venture into


26

new export activities. It will act as the R&Dincubation centre for development of novelproducts in pilot scale and demonstrate exportof sample consignments.

(11) NIFPHATT will act as rural appropriatetechnology design and dissemination centre forlocally relevant, easily assimilable andeconomically viable low cost techniques for thebenefit of the rural folk of coastal and inlandareas with special emphasis on genderdevelopment.

Tools to achieve the above.

i ) National level workshops, discussions and otherconsultations involving all state fisheriesdepartments and their top level functionaries.

ii) NIFPHATT and state level fisheries organellesof all states where fishery resource is relevantshould have one-to-one consultations anddeliberations as frequently as needed.

iii) National level fisheries promotion campaignsunder the leadership of NIFPHATT with mediapromotions for increased fish consumption.

iv) Organizing training programs for State levelfunctionaries, state level colleges and universitystudents to build up a cadre of fisheries expertsrequired for achieving the vision objectives.

v) Overall strengthening of NIFPHATT’s R&Dprograms on product development, training,extension, test marketing and popularizationcapabilities through –

(a) Requisite infrastructure building up

(b) sourcing of fund through budget provision

and outside funding agencies

(c) In-house capacity building by training ofhands in all the above mentioned facultiesat leading national and internationalfisheries institutions.

(d) Roping in of Projects under various R&Dand developmental programs like NationalAgricultural Innovative Projects.

(e) Recruiting more hands and training themfor increasing NIFPHATT’s capacity.

(f) Playing an active role in setting up ofnational standards for fish and fisheryproducts and synchronizing with Codexstandards wherever possible withoutjeopardizing the interest of the nation.

(g) Playing an active role in the Internationalstandard Organisation (ISO) andrepresenting India, as a ParticipatingMember of the organization.

(h) Making appropriate intervention in thedomestic marketing sector by setting up ofstandards and guidelines for model fishmarkets and formulating layout and designto enable them to act as a cushion for thevagaries of export sectors.

(i) Acting as a consultant in fisheriesinfrastructure for setting up of model fishprocessing plants, canning plants, byproduct plant, waste utilization plat, coldstorages, ice plants, chill room and tunnelfreezers. Also will help in setting up ofmicro processing units like seafood kitchensand kiosks.
