The Andaman and Nicobar Department of Fisheries has announced a four-day technical training programme on brackish water shrimp farming and cage culture, scheduled from October 28 to 31 in South Andaman. Applications close on October 23. Conducted under the Raising and Accelerating MSME Performance (RAMP) Scheme's Skill Development Intervention AN-12, the training is held in collaboration with ICAR-Central Institute of Brackishwater Aquaculture (ICAR-CIBA), Chennai. Selected trainees will receive travelling and daily allowance as per scheme norms. Interested individuals can collect and submit application forms at their nearest Zonal Fisheries Office or the Fisheries Training Centre at Marine Hill. The deadline for completed applications with supporting documents is October 23.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The training targets small-scale farmers and entrepreneurs in South Andaman, offering technical skills to boost local shrimp production. By tying it to the RAMP scheme, the department links skill development directly with MSME growth, though no target number of trainees or post-training support is specified. The October 23 deadline and inclusion of travel allowances are concrete next steps for applicants.
