Although, the rate of literacy is higher in Bhopal as compared to other cities of the state, the women folk are still ignorant of recent technological developments and the aquaculture technology is no exception. In view of this perspective, the Department of Applied Aquaculture, Barkatullah University, Bhopal implemented a training programme, sponsored by the Department of Biotechnology, New Delhi, to create awareness of recent aquaculture technologies among them. The project executed for a period of three years (2002-2005) under which six villages of Phanda block, Bhopal were identified.
