Abstract

The first FFDA in Orissa state was established in the year 1976. The
study was conducted in Balasore district of the State. The findings
revealed that all of the FEOs were not well qualified but trained and
experienced. The duration of training obtained varied from 3 to 10 months.
An FEO has a large area under his jurisdiction. Cycle was used by most
of the FEOs to visit the fish farmers which resulted in infrequent visits.
The FEOs were not satisfied with the working conditions, promotion
avenues and conveyance facilities. There was interference of political
bodies in leasing out ponds. The amount of loan sanctioned was not
adequate to start fish farming. They also revealed that marketing aspects
were totally neglected by the FFDA.
