Punjab Woman Develops Shrimp Farming Business on Waterlogged Fields
Rupinder Kaur, originally trained in fashion design, transformed waterlogged and saline fields in Inna Khera village, Sri Muktsar Sahib, into a successful shrimp farming business. Starting in 2021 after attending a Fisheries Department awareness camp and training, she received a 60% government subsidy under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana. Alongside her husband, who left his job to join her, she cultivates Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp on 35 acres, earning Rs 2.5-3 lakh per acre annually and encouraging others in her village to adopt shrimp farming.
