Pisciculture transforming lives of farmers in UP
Lucknow, Aug 18 (PTI) A traditional banana farmer in Uttar Pradesh's Barabanki district, who adopted fish farming in 2018 with three ponds on 27,000 sq ft of land, has now turned into a supplier of fish seeds for more than 350 farmers, owning 24 ponds and employing at least 10 people. Aslam Khan, 40, a resident of Bakrapur village in Barabanki, and many other farmers have become the flag bearers of the government's scheme to promote pisciculture, according to an official statement. "Through fish farming, young men and women are scripting new success stories that showcase the true strength of central and state government schemes. These stories prove that change is happening at the grassroots," N S Rahmani, Director of UP Fisheries Department, said in the statement. At present, Aslam carries out fish farming on eight acres with 24 ponds and two nurseries. This year, he stocked three lakh Pangasius fish seeds, of which 2.20 lakh have already yielded 162 tonnes of fish sold. Aslam's farms have 40,000 fishes, each weighing 400-500 grams, ready to be sold in December. Since January 2019, he has been supplying over 350 farmers across Barabanki, Lucknow, Sitapur, Unnao, Ayodhya, Bahraich, and Gonda. Ascribing his success to the support he received from the state fisheries department, Aslam said that the handholding by the department has been commendable. Sharing his journey since 2018, Aslam said he was first intrigued by fish farming when he visited a fish farm at Gangwara village, which was being run by Mohammad Asif Siddiqui. After facing continuous losses in banana cultivation, he began learning pisciculture and started with three ponds on 27,000 sq ft of land, raising Pangasius fish. Initially, Aslam suffered losses due to poor fish seeds and lack of knowledge. Without losing hope, he again stocked his ponds with 35,000 Pangasius fingerlings and produced 21 tonnes of fish within six months. Each fish weighed about 700 grams. The first produce from his farm earned an income of ₹ 8,40,000. Buoyed by his achievement, in 2018 Aslam made another pond on a one-acre land in which he kept Indian major carp fish along with Pangasius. Aslam has also installed a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) at his farm. The RAS unit would help him in rearing Pangasius seeds during winters, so that by February and March, fish seed can be provided to other farmers. To further benefit the farmers, Aslam also aims to register a farmer producer organisation (FPO). Since 2017, Pangasius farming is being done in about 25 hectares in Nindoora block (in Barabanki), while each farmer like Aslam is providing direct employment to at least ten people. "Under the leadership of the state government, the benefits of every scheme are reaching the communities and every household. By embracing opportunities like fish farming, people are not only becoming 'atmanirbhar' (self-reliant), but are also driving the economic growth of the entire state," Rahmani said.

‘Caste, hierarchy, untouchability, gender bias...': Bhabha Hostel's ‘welcome' board hailed for setting hard boundary
Diversity forms the core of Indian society, and yet, every day, someone's personal bias chips away at that harmony, reminding us how fragile inclusivity can be without conscious effort. An example of one such conscious effort for inclusivity was recently found in a welcome message at a hostel. In a viral LinkedIn post, a law student, Pratichi Lugaria, shared the hard-hitting welcome message at the entrance of HJ Bhabha Hostel, likely at Rajasthan University. In tune with India's visionary nuclear physicist, Homi Jehangir Bhabha's vision that diversity isn't just about differences but about how cultures mix, overlap, and create new identities, the welcome message in Hindi read: 'Shoes and slippers can enter. But caste, hierarchy, untouchability, gender bias— Lauding the message, Pratichi said that the sign 'doesn't mince words' and, simplified in saying, 'Leave Your Shoes On. Leave Your Prejudices Out.' In her LinkedIn post, the law student highlighted that no long speeches, or 'we value diversity' posters with stock photos were used, but 'Just a hard boundary: If your mindset is toxic, it's not welcome here.' Pratichi said that the board made her think about how people walk into so many offices with polished shoes and dirty thinking. 'And we let them.' 'This sign flips that script,' she said, adding that it tells you point-blank, 'Your prejudice is your problem, not ours.' 'Bring skills, ideas, and humanity. Leave ego, entitlement, and outdated '-isms' at the door.' She said that if more organisations had an HJ Bhabha Hostel-like entry rule, 'half the politics would vanish, and twice the talent would thrive.' Netizens were impressed by the welcome message and saluted 'every changemaker shaping minds with courage and clarity.' 'Salute to whosoever thought of putting this up at the gate!' said a social media user. 'Great perspective of the writer whose intention is this. Salute to every Indian who has the intention of changing the thought process and teaches them a good lesson in this way,' added another. A user lauded, 'Wow! What a line!' 'Yes. We clean our body, clothes and our homes. How about cleaning where we actually reside most - in our minds!' added another. One user said, 'It's time we all imbibe this in our DNA.'

Man reveals food culture clash in Netherlands, stuns Indians online: ‘This is just so surreal'
An Indian-origin man who grew up in the Netherlands opened up about a cultural shock he experienced in childhood. Speaking in a street interview for Instagram account Dating Beyond Borders, he explained that while his parents moved to the Netherlands from India, he was raised there. The man shared a childhood memory that highlighted the cultural difference between India and the Netherlands.(Instagram/datingbeyondborders) When asked which parts of his personality were more 'Indian,' he pointed to food culture. 'Even if someone is coming to fix the tap, you will give them a meal, you will give them tea. Dutch culture does not have that. You wouldn't necessarily invite someone for dinner,' he said. He then shared a childhood memory that highlighted this cultural difference. During a barbecue at a neighbour's house, he was invited over to play. 'When my parents came to pick me up they asked me how it was. I said that it was fun but I did not get any of the meat as they said that it was only for adults,' he recalled. He added that although he asked for some of the barbecued meat, he was told it was finished—even though he saw the leftovers being stored in the fridge. When his mother asked the neighbours about it, they explained the food was being saved for their next day's meal. 'My mom was like, wow that's some broke a* s**t,'* he said with a laugh. However, he clarified that not all Dutch people behaved this way, adding that many of his Dutch friends were shocked when they heard the story. The story stunned viewers online, especially Indians, who shared their thoughts in the comments. "I lived modestly, as did all my friends growing up, but parents would never allow their kids' friends to leave the house hungry... This is just so surreal," said one of them. Another added, "In India, even the poorest family would feed their children first, even before others, if they suddenly show up during meal time."
