Kailash Narayan Singh ventured into farming carp five years ago and has since become one of the largest aquaculture producers in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

What inspired you to embark on a career in aquaculture?

I was into different businesses like carpet exports and selling water purification machines. I hardly had any idea about fish farming but was inspired by the vision of PM Modi, who encouraged people to join the sector because of its enormous potential. I started farming in 2019 at the age of 55.
