Foundation stone of the recirculating aquaculture system

On the 53rd Foundation Day of Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar , the Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor B.R. Kamboj laid the foundation stone of the recirculating aquaculture system. Through this technique, more production can be achieved in less area to promote fish farming in the country.

Key Points

• Recirculatory Aquaculture System (RAS) is a technology that relies on the recirculation and reuse of water. With this farmers can produce more fish even in less land.
• In this system more fish production can be taken in less space in a rectangular or circular tank. Its specialty is that in this the water contaminated in fish farming is put in the biofilter tank, then it is filtered and sent back to the fish tank.
• On this occasion, Vice Chancellor Professor BR Kamboj stressed on increasing the income of farmers to implement more employment oriented schemes and to make natural farming more popular.
• A two-day book exhibition was also organized in the Nehru Library of the university on the foundation day of the university. Books on Agricultural Science, Allied Science, Home Science, Food Science and Technology, Nanotechnology, Agribusiness, Fisheries Science, Competitive and General Knowledge have been displayed in this exhibition.
• The main objective of this exhibition is to select books of the highest quality so that they can be easily available in the Nehru Library of the University.
