Abstract/Description: | Compared to the primary sector in fisheries, women contribute more to the work force of the secondary sector. Therefore, skill development in post harvest fisheries can accelerate the socio-economic status of the women engaged in this sector. But there exist gaps between their knowledge, attitude and practice which they follow after acquiring the skill. Keeping in view the importance of skill development, a study was undertaken in Kerala to know the factors that influence effectiveness of skill development programme in fish processing among the women who have undergone hands on training and also to analyze the constraints which limit the actual implementation of the skill at field level. The sample of the study comprised of 60 respondents selected randomly from the total number of 294 trainees from 5 villages of Kerala covered under 96 training programmes during 2015- 16. Data was collected from the respondents using semi structured interview schedule. It was observed that previous experience, existing skill, attitude towards fish processing and duration of skill development programme had positive correlation with effectiveness of the skill development programme. Personal constraints, institutional constraints and field level constraints were studied using Garret ranking. It was observed that lack of motivation and leadership ability were the major personal constraints felt by the respondents, whereas inconsistent follow up and poor facilitation for group mobilization were the major constraints faced at the level of trainer’s organization. Besides, less access to equipment/machines and decline in availability of fish were the major constraints faced by the respondents at field level. The results obtained through this study suggest that skill development programmes should focus more on those having previous experience/skill and favorable attitude towards the sector in which the skill development programme is designed. Also increasing duration of training have a positive impact on the skill development programme. Facilitating the provision of adequate infrastructure facilities was found to be a key factor for the success of skill development programme. |
