How Jaljeevika is enhancing the income, livelihood, and productivity of inland aquapreneurs
Jaljeevika has empowered women to make their mark in a male-dominated industry. In 2014-15, the startup trained about 70 tribal women in Maharashtra in freshwater fish farming. The lessons on pond management and income through fish farming encouraged more than 4000 women and SHGs to engage in fish farming and fish sale-related microenterprises.

When asked about some examples of organizations currently funded by the program, Subhashree readily provided us with a list and even emphasized on the kind of work each organization is doing. "India has a lot of freshwater resources, but less than 50 percent is used for freshwater fisheries production. Jaljeevika, an organization that is part of our current Accelerator program, works on bringing underutilized freshwater resources under fisheries to boost food security, livelihood and employment generation for fish farmers and has impacted 25,000 farmers in 3 states.
Why last-mile innovations focused on smallholder farmers is key for India's agri and allied ecosystem
Jaljeevika is working with small, marginalised farming communities to create a culture of micro-entrepreneurship across the fisheries value chain. They have also developed an IoT sensor-based water quality measurement toolkit to provide location-specific aquaculture advisory to farmers.
