Abstract

A group of 10 undergraduate students and faculty members from Michigan State University (MSU) in the United States have been impressed with community-based initiatives dominated by women in Kerala’s fisheries sector. The US team, which was on a 15-day visit to the State as part of a student exposure-cum-training programme jointly organised by the university and ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) here, was impressed by a diverse range of entrepreneurial ventures spearheaded by various women groups, including ‘Theeramythri’ units and other self-help groups in villages. They witnessed women farmer groups engaged in cage culture, bivalve farming, and women entrepreneurs in value-addition.
