In this paper an attempt is made to assess the extent of
indebtedness among marine fisherfolk in mechanized, motorized
and traditional fisheries sectors and to assess the impact of
Microfinance Institutions (MFI) and Self Help Groups (SHG) on
coastal indebtedness in Tamil Nadu. The study was carried out
in three coastal districts of the state. Situational analysis was
done through PLA in the selected locations and the sample
respondents were selected from mechanized, motorized,
traditional, secondary and tertiary sectors. Data were collected
through personal interview from members of 12 selected MFIs
and non members in these sectors, comprising a total of 600
respondents. The results showed that the level of indebtedness
of members of MFIs was less compared to the non members. In
certain cases, even though the indebtedness was more, the level
of repayment was found to be significantly high in MFIs. There
is an extreme necessity of strengthening the MFI ventures in the
traditional fisheries sector in the state. A comparative assessment
of the sources of credit also was undertaken to draw valid
conclusions. It was found that the MFIs ranked better in most of
the attributes in the perception of stakeholders compared to
banks and non-institutional credit sources.
