The Central Institute of Fisheries Technology (CIFT), engaged in fish harvest and post-harvest research, will deploy its newly-developed technology to teach fishermen to turn fish waste into poultry and fish feed. The Institute plans a series of training programmes for fishermen in the near future. The inauguration of the training with a live demonstration will be held at Thoppumpady harbour on Wednesday. K.V. Thomas, MP, will inaugurate the programme. The newly developed CIFT technology is aimed at attaining the twin goals of removing fish waste from fish markets and harbours and making value-added products out of the waste. The new technology, if properly executed, can be a boon to making fish markets and harbours clean. CIFT is planning to demonstrate the technology in more than 20 markets and fishing harbours across the country. Financial support for the training programmes is provided through the Union government’s Swatchatha Action Plan.
