Description The growth of the population and simultaneous reduction of agricultural farm create a big challenge to
fulfill the demand of food in the world. The utilization of available unutilized/underutilized space of the
roof-top on every house for growing of different types vegetables is a scope to increase vegetable
production. There are several advantages of this technique such as utilization of free space of the roof,
production of healthy and fresh vegetables, harvesting of rain water in an efficient manner, better
saving to the family, utilization of kitchen waste and reduction of solid waste as well as air pollution in
the environment.
India‘s marine fish catch has dropped by 5.3 per cent in 2015 with oil sardines recording the sharpest
fall of 51 per cent.
The overall marine fish landings fell to 3.40 million tonnes against 3.59 million tonnes in 2014,
registering a fall of 1.89 lakh tonnes, scientific data estimated by the Central Marine Fisheries Research
Institute (CMFRI) said.
After all-time high landings of 3.94 million tonnes in 2012, the marine fish catch has shown a
decreasing trend every year. It was 4 per cent in 2013, 5 per cent in 2014 and 5.3 per cent in 2015,
scientists who estimated the data said.
