Coastal Salinity Prevention Cell (CSPC) envelops the coastal districts of Gujarat state covering Amreli, Bhavnagar, Jamnagar, Junagadh, Porbandar, Bharuch, Kutch and Rajkot to address the salinity issue. CSPC puts in efforts for idea incubation, by implementing small pilot programmes to assess viability of various technological options, viz. Farm Pond Model, Aquaculture in Saline Areas, Salinity Tolerant Horticulture Crops, Dew Harvesting Systems, etc. in these areas. At present, CSPC through the KVY project partners has an outreach to about 250 coastal villages touching the lives of approximately 25000 House Holds, while the programmes in pipeline will scale up the physical interventions to over 450 salinity affected villages in the next couple of years. |
