NFDB's ‘Jala Pushpa Bhavan' is first of its kind in the country

‘Jala Pushpa Bhavan'. The title sounds a picnic spot or some water body. But, it is the name given to a fish market constructed with hygienic conditions. The building was constructed by the National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB), and the Municipal Corporation of Nellore in the city.

The fish stall, built at a cost of Rs.1.08 crore, is first of its kind in the country and about 70 similar markets are being constructed at various places in the country.

The market accommodates nearly 70 stalls, equal number of platforms for processing (cutting and cleaning), auction platforms, solid waste, and cold storage facilities.

Besides, space for drying fish, parking lots, toilets, drinking water and effluent treatment system are provided on the market premises. The model fish market will be convenient for both sellers and consumers with highly hygienic conditions, said NFDB Chief Executive P. Krishnaiah.

Speaking to The Hindu, he said the plan of the domestic fish market in Nellore was designed after visiting several countries.

The National Fisheries Development Board is constructing 70 such markets in India, with more than Rs.75 crore, of which 20 are being constructed in Andhra Pradesh.

The ‘Jala Pushpa Bhavan' is the first fish stall being opened in the country on April 6. Apart from funding for fish markets, the NFDB also proposes to create awareness among women on the need to maintain cleanliness and provide training to women on maintaining the stalls.

“Our concept is to development fish markets with highly hygienic system across the country. The model fish market would be showcased in other States. The NFDB is also providing training for aqua farmers in raising fish and prawn tanks with latest technologies,” said Mr. Krishnaiah.
