Abstract
A science-led initiative of the ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute is gaining traction among coastal women, helping them build livelihoods as entrepreneurs in fish farming, ornamental aquaculture and seafood value addition. The institute’s Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Hub has facilitated 84 micro-enterprise initiatives across eight districts of Kerala between 2022 and 2026, aiming to improve livelihoods and create opportunities for income diversification. Vipinkumar V.P., Principal Scientist, said the project has directly benefitted 469 people, including 220 women and six transgender persons, with indirect benefits expected to reach around 2,500 others. The impact assessment of the project reveals that household incomes of beneficiaries have increased by 30–35 per cent.
