Mathsya Kiran

Mathsya Kiran mobile app has been developed under a Masters research program entitled

“Design of Mobile App Prototype for Fish Farmers of Telangana” undertaken at FEES

Division, ICAR-CIFE, Mumbai.

The app has fisheries-related information in one place. It is of potential use to fish farmers, students, extension personnel, policymakers and anyone who is interested in fish farming.

The app has been developed based on the needs of fish farmers through a participatory

process of write shop.

The app is a gateway to information on inland fisheries in text and attractive image format. It is user-friendly and provides information which is free of cost, anytime even without internet service. After the initialization of the app, it displays a screen showing information on topics of Culture practices, Management practices, Post-harvest practices, Modern farming techniques, and T- fish info. It further has many sub-topics explained in simple text format and images.
