They form a powerful income and employment generating sector producing the main stay of the fishery resources are still far below the average national per capita income group. The fisherwomen constituting nearly half of over fisher folk involved themselves directly and indirectly in the various fisheries activities are still kept at a very low status in the social hierarchy. This development programmes are aimed for uplift of this weaker section and our technological innovations are moulded and translated to suit their requirements, there cannot be any real progress. The fisher folks irrespective of men and women are the best masters in their occupation and they can be the best managers also if they are properly groomed. |
