Description The technologies developed by Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) through
Farmer's Participatory Research (FPR) on marine and brackish water cage fish farming and allied activities
are unanimously adopted as their livelihood option by many farmers in India. The vision of Tribal Sub Plan
Project (TSP) is also to improve the level of knowledge and skills to elevate the social and economic status
of tribal communities by utilizing coastal resources and infrastructural support. It is therefore these
technologies were also given to Indian tribal communities for their socio economic upliftment and develop
their skills enough to contribute to the fish production in India. In order to implement this project in India,
survey work was conducted in Pathanamthitta, Kallam and Thiruvananthapuram, Nettoor, Thathappally,
Ezhikkaraand Vaikom in Kerala;Oyyalikuppam village, Rajarethinam Nagar, Senjiamman Nagar and
Kallukadamedu at Kottayakuppam village in Chennai;Byndoor and Mulky areas in Karnataka;Chuabahal,
Kanthibhaunri, Jugadiha, Balughat, Laing colony, Jugadiha, Jhaga, Baniguni, Parikhi, Jambu, Bhateni,
Hari Bank and Parikhi in Orissa; Madhupur and Raipur areas in Gujarat with the help of ST Promoters
from the Tribal Welfare Department of respective states to identify the tribal areas in India. Benchmark
assessment on the social, historical and livelihood of each village carried out through the initial interaction
programmes. Preliminary meetings were held to make an assessment of the community status, their
occupation and interest in improving their skills in marine fisheries and aquaculture. An assessment was
also carried out to know their present level of involvement into marine fishery related activities, interest to do
fish culture, employment status, intensity, investment capacity, resources, options, competitions, space,
amenability and viability of the CMFRI technologies and adoption programmes. Later they were invited to
CMFRI for interaction and further analysis on their strengths and weakness. Detailed programmes were
chalked out to provide training and hands on support and skill development programmes for the identified
families of tribal communities in India.The isolated settlement of an important ethnic tribal group of Ulladar
in Kerala, lrular in Chennai, Marathy Naik in Karnataka, Khaira, Bhumija, Mahali, Bhuyan, Bhumij, Santai,
