Centre for Advanced Faculty Training (CAFT) in Fisheries Science
The premier alma mater for fisheries in India, CIFE was established in 1961 as an in-service training centre mainly to impart proficient training and education to the fisheries professionals where trainees were exposed to various operative learning strategies so as to equip them to face the challenges of the fisheries sector. By year 1979, CIFE came under the administrative control of Indian Council of Agricultural Research. In recognition of its yeomen services and expertise, CIFE was deservingly conferred the Deemed-to-be-University status by UGC in 1989. Subsequently the scope and mandate have been widened to include education as well as research. This fostered a positive atmosphere to different stakeholders and facilitated them to fulfill their career objectives and goals. CIFE has made its mark in a knowledge driven economy and in the process of enriching the quality of fisheries education, the academic programs offered by CIFE were accredited by ICAR and UGC. CIFE, since then, has been providing a rich curriculum mixed with a wide range of extra-curricular activities for holistic development of fisheries professionals.
CIFE continues to be a global player in fisheries academics and research by creating globally competent students and faculty through world class education. In view of this, the ICAR, New Delhi sanctioned the only CAFT in Fisheries Science and was established at CIFE, ‘Centre of Advanced Studies in Fisheries Science’ during 1994 (vide F.No:1-2/93(CAS)/UNDP Dated 11.11.1994) which was subsequently renamed as ‘Centre for Advanced Faculty Training.’
The primary objective of CAFT is to impart trainers training in specialized aspects of fisheries and allied sciences for improving faculty competence.
