Women Entrepreneurs in Punjab and Haryana Develop Successful Aquaculture Ventures

Two women from northern India have transformed traditional farming challenges into successful aquaculture ventures. Rupinder Kaur from Punjab converted saline, waterlogged fields into profitable shrimp farms starting in 2021, aided by government subsidies and training. Similarly, Usha Rani from Haryana turned her childhood interest into a thriving fish farming business, producing significant yields and income with support from the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana. Both stories highlight women's entrepreneurship and government-backed aquaculture growth in the region.
