It is indeed a moment of great honour for the state of Assam that Kalong-Kapili was invited to organise a 10-day ‘Advance Residential Training Programme’ in Odisha for CRPs (Community Resource Person) trainers. The training took place from September 14 to 26, 2023 at Rajkanika, Kendra Para district of Odisha. The training would definitely help CRPs strengthen their knowledge, and skills and help in the dissemination of knowledge on Sustainable Aquaculture at the grassroots level.
A total of 22 participants were present during the entire days of the programme. We convey our sincere thanks to Darbar Sahitya Sansad(DSS) & Gram Utthan(GU) for their kind support. A special thanks to Shri Angshuman Saikia, MFSC who attended as a resource person in Odisha throughout the programme. Special thanks to team members of SESSA who were involved directly or indirectly in the entire programme.
This achievement, far from our home turf, will further empower the Kalong-Kapili.
