integral parts. The paper has studied the impact of some land-shaping interventions implemented through
crop-fish integration. The paper has found that these land shaping models — farm pond, paddy-cum-fish,
deep-furrow & high ridge and broad bed & furrow system — have created the land suitable for growing
multiple crops and rearing fish. Financial analysis of these land shaping models has indicated that
investment on such interventions are financially viable (IRR, 36-48%; NPV, ` 0.97-3.67 lakhs; BCR,
1.20-1.58; and payback period, 1.41-2.13 years) and attractive proposition for the coastal region in
Sundarbans and Andaman & Nicobar Islands. For out-scaling of these technologies on a wider scale,
there is a need to address some socio-economic constraints and provide policy support. The proposition
of crop-fish integration in agriculture through these land-shaping models has been found quite suitable
for enhancing the income and employment in the costal region of India.
