Book (stand-alone)Activating Fisherwomen for Development through Trained Link Workers in Tamil Nadu, India - BOBP/REP/27 1986
Also available in:
No results found.This document is the report of a BOBP-assisted pilot project on improving the socio-economic conditions of women from fishing communities of Tamil Nadu. The strategy adopted was group action among fisherwomen led by trained “link workers”. They were to serve as links between the villages and the government, and try to ensure that all available welfare and subsidy schemes for fisherwomen, government and private, were extended to their villages. A proposal for statewide expansion of the link w orker scheme, formulated at government request, is part of the paper. Also included as an Appendix is a fairly detailed case-study of the efforts undertaken by the link workers, the problems encountered and the results obtained in a single village - Chemmencheri. The activities reported in the paper were carried out between 1981 and 1984. On behalf of BOBP, a socioeconomist was responsible for project activities. Two Deputy Directors of Fisheries from the Government of Tamil Nadu, MS Freda Cha ndrasekaran and Ms. Mekala Devadoss, were the main government counterparts. Two social workers engaged by BOBP, MS N. Valli and Ms. R. Veronica, two government extension officers, Ms. D. Bee and Ms. R. Meenakshi, and 21 link workers from the fishing villages, supervised field work. Excellent cooperation was extended by the Natesan Cooperative Training College, Madras, and by its Principal, ‘Mr Rajaram, in conducting a course for fisherwomen on management of cooperatives. -
ProjectFishing Trials with Beachlanding Craft at Thirumuilaivasal, Tamil Nadu, India 1989-1991-BOBP/WP/75 - 1992
Also available in:
No results found.Based on the experience gained in small-scale offshore fishing in Uppada, Andhra Pradesh, India (BOBP/WP/56), and the need to diversify and develop smallscale fisheries in the offshore areas off the Coromandel Coast of Tamil Nadu, India, a subproject for the commercial fishing of pelagic species was established in 1989 by the Fisheries Department of Tamil Nadu with technical and financial support from the Bay of Bengal Programme. It was executed in Thirumullaivasal, Thanjavur District, from Febr uary 1989 to January 1991 with one beach landing craft (BLC)of the IND-20 type. A second boat of the same type became available in July 1990. The purpose of the subproject was to demonstrate to fisherfolk and Fisheries Officers the technical and economic feasibility of small-scale offshore fishing by using the BLC and employing diversified fishing gear. It was hoped that the demonstration would lead to commercial exploitation of less exploited resources and produce new sources of earnings for the fisherfolk who own and operate traditional as well as other introduced motorized fishing craft. This paper records the trials over a two-year period and the conclusions drawn from them.
