Abstract

Through the mobilization and strengthening of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and individual businesses in the marine fisheries sector in central Kerala, the project seeks to empower Scheduled Caste (SC) fishermen. Finding location-specific, fishery-based microenterprises that support Entrepreneurial Capacity Building (ECB) and meet the demands of SC stakeholders is a major goal of this effort. This is accomplished by implementing focused training initiatives and embracing sustainable and profitable microbusinesses. In order to support the STI Hub, the initiative also aims to clarify and record successful ECB cases among SHGs and individual SC entrepreneurs by utilizing information and communication technology (ICT) interventions. To ensure long-term empowerment and sustainability in the sector, a key element of this project is fostering connections between SHGs/entrepreneurs and technical, institutional, and financial entities.
