Description Manpower training is one of the essential prerequisites for
the development of any industry. An industry which is based
on a specialised technology needs the competent technical personnel
for its very start. It is also imperative that the manpower
requirements for the growth of the industry are met in a phased
manner through organised training.
Pearl Culture is a nascent industry in India. The technical
base for it was laid recently by the Central Marine Fisheries
Research Institute. The Institute developed pearl-culture technology
indigenously at its laboratory at Veppalodai near Tuticorin
in 1973 which marked the breakthrough, placing India
among the few countries in the world which has the technical
know-how of pearl culture. The success was remarkable in that
it was achieved within six months of starting the project,
against the background of four decades of unsuccessful attempts
elsewhere in India. As the pioneer in the field, the
Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute has taken up
further researches on every component problem of this new
discipline in India.
