Mussel farming has gained popularity along the
southwest coast of India with more than 3,000 women becoming
owners of mussel farms. Vasanth Kripa and Vazhoor Gopalan
Surendranathan show how training alone was not sufficient to
motivate villagers to adopt a new technology; instead visual
observations of the success of the technology are essential for
removing the risk aversion attitude. Support from the government
prompted women to form self-help groups. This led to group
farming, which helped women overcome social inhibitions and prove
their competence.
