Description Prawn farming in rural sector has immense
scope for improvement in terms of the practices
followed and utilisation of water bodies. Studies
conducted by the Central Marine Fisheries Research
Institute in Ernakulam District in Kerala
have revealed that there are many technological
and socio-economic problems faced by farmers
engaged in prawn production. Group farming in the present context refers to
the farm management approach in which the prawn
farmers of a contiguous area are organised to pool
their land and resources. In this approach it is
important that the individual farmer retains the
right of ownership over the land, investment and
the returns from his holdings. All the farming
operations such as procurement of inputs, water
mangement, eradication of pests, stocking of seed
etc., are done simultaneously by the participating
farmers. The technical advice can also be collectively
availed. Thus management serves as a critical
input and collective management forms the
essence of group farming approach. In group farming,
problems faced by individual farmers are eased
out and solved through collective efforts
