Abstract

The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute’s (CMFRI) open sea cage farming model in Gujarat has received national recognition, with a fisherman associated with the institute bagging the Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay Antoyodaya Krishi Puraskar instituted by ICAR this year. Hasanbhai Musangara Jumabhai, a tribal fisherman of the Siddi community, got the award for his active involvement in open sea cage farming, guided by the Veraval Regional Centre of CMFRI, off the Veraval coast. Hasanbhai is the leader of the fishermen co­operative society Bharat Admjuth Matsyodyog Mandali­Talala, in Gujarat. CMFRI regional centre provided cages and technical guidance to the co­operative society in Veraval to carry out the farming as an alternate livelihood option for Siddi tribes in the region. The centre also offered the community a farming demonstration, training and hands­on exposure of the farming, under the Tribal Sub Plan outlay of the institute.
