Description Emphasis for the development of fisheries and the extent of
resource allocation bas increased in each successive Five Year
Plan and several welfare schemes for fishermen were launched.
Removal of poverty and attainment of self reliance are given top
priority in our national planning. la the fishery sector, adoption
of technological innovations bas been encouraged and fishery
infrastructure facilities have been enhanced by the Government,
The increased pact of mechanization and step-in deep sea fishing
have undoubtedly helped in boosting the production and export
of marine products, and fishermen are given ban end subsidy
under various schemes. Fishermen cooperatives are encouraged
by the Government. Commercial banks arc also coming forward
to extend liberal loans at reasonably low rate of interest.
In s p i t e of all these efforts, the economic benefits of several
development and welfare schemes are believed to have hen,
mainly reaped by a few, and most of the fishermen are
still in the grip of poverty. In this context, extensive studies
about the socio-economic status of fishermen pertaining to
different regions of the country will be immensely useful for
future planning of developmental schemes.
