Significant achievements in research & development

• Evidence Driven Fisheries Policy & Advocacy: Significantly contributed to developing the Bihar Fisheries Policy (2007), Policy Framework for Fisheries & Aquaculture Development in India (2010), Fisheries Development Plan for Rajasthan (2010), Haryana Fisheries Development (2014), Reservoir Fisheries Management Options (2014), and the draft National Inland Fisheries & Aquaculture Policy of India (2018).
• RAPFISH for reservoirs fisheries management: Adapted, customized and validated an India specific multi-dimensional RAPFISH framework (originally developed by UBC-FAO for marine fisheries -that was adapted by us for assessing marine fisheries of Indian states) as a simple but comprehensive tool (Fig.1) to assess the sustainability status and development of reservoir fisheries. 14 reservoirs / lakes in 5 states have been studied using RAPFISH.
• Human Development of Fishers: Developed a much needed household based Human Development Index for measuring the HD of fishers / farmers by modifying the macro-level UNDP’s HDI. It’s a first of its kind tool to measure & compare the HD of fishers & farmers with that of general population of the district / state / country & track their change over time and space. HD of fishers around reservoirs in Maharashtra, Odisha, U.P, and Karnataka ranged from 0.44 to 0.62. Compared to farmers, fishers’ education was very poor, income was slightly lower while health status was slightly better.
• Inland Saline Shrimp Aquaculture: As part of the team, developed and popularised two path breaking innovations - shrimp farming in inland salt affected areas of Haryana and Punjab & the Sub-Surface Drainage-cum-Aquaculture System for salt-affected areas in Maharashtra – that has begun to transform the lives and landscape in salt-affected areas of Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan.
• Contributed to and strengthened the growing field of social science in fisheries especially greater and in-depth understanding of fishers’ livelihoods, global & domestic fish markets, ICT applications in fisheries, and tacking the trajectory of fisheries development through original research, student guidance, consultancy, and policy advocacy.
• Have guided 3 PhD students and 3
