The CIFE Rohtak Centre undertakes research in developing suitable technologies for degraded salt affected inland areas through aquaculture using underground saline water. On-farm demonstrations and demand driven training programs are also conducted for state fisheries personnel, fish farmers, entrepreneurs and NGO’s. The CIFE initiated research project activities in Haryana (Distt. Gurgaon) in 1982 in collaboration with Haryana State Fisheries Department with two specific problems on carp seed production in semi-arid zone and utilization of saline soils and underground saline water for aquaculture. After getting encouraging results and to extend the activities with better infrastructure, Govt. of Haryana offered its farm facilities (36 acres) at Rohtak and the institute shifted its project activities from Sultanpur, Distt.Gurgaon to Lahli, Distt Rohtak in March 1996 and started functioning as full-fledged centre. The Centre is located about 8 Km from Rohtak city on Rohtak – Bhiwani road. The Center has soil and water testing lab facility and scampi (giant freshwater prawn) hatchery with the seed production capacity of 5.0 million PL annually.
