Abstract: The Odisha-WorldFish project conducted a crop outcome survey during the reporting period (June 2020– February 2021). The purpose was to assess the implementation status of a Government of Odisha flagship program that is implemented by the Fisheries and Animal Resources Development Department (FARD). The program is called "Scientific Fish Farming in Gram Panchayat Tanks by Women Self Help Groups" but is sometimes also called "Input Assistance to Women Self Help Groups for Pisciculture in Gram Panchayat Tanks." It also assessed the achievements of key output and outcome parameters to identify bottlenecks as well as examine the possibilities of replicating good practices. For this survey, a cross-sectional, multi-layered, interview-based questionnaire was purposively developed covering the program and fish farming attributes. The overall objective of this gender-sensitive survey framework is to understand (a) women-driven community fish farming in public water bodies, (b) adoption of better management practices (BMPs) for WSHGs to carry out scientific fish farming, (c) fish production and marketing details, and (d) the various challenges WSHGs faced during fish farming and the coping strategies they used.
