Who We Are

SHISUK, a national NGO has been working on community development and sustainable agriculture since its inception in 1994. Daudkandi is one of the best practice site, where in 1997 SHISUK pioneered Community based collective enterprise initiative on floodplain Aquaculture (popularly known as Daudkandi model). SHISUK has awarded National Gold medal by The Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock in 1999 as the pioneer of the Community Enterprise model for floodplain. The model has selected as one of the SAARC Best Practice for livelihood development in 2007. With the support of Bangladesh Government (KGF) SHISUK is now implementing adaptive trial in other floodplains of the country like Tidal floodplains in the coast and depressed area in North of Bangladesh.
