Abstract

Development signifies the upliftment of the most marginalized sections of society, enhancing their standard of living. In the context of India's fisheries sector, true development and empowerment of weaker sections can be significantly realized through poverty alleviation initiatives driven by transparent mechanisms like Self-Help Groups (SHGs). These groups hold immense potential to play a pivotal role in advancing the fisheries sector. A critical aspect of this transformation is ensuring the active participation of fisherfolk, particularly women, in the planning and execution of various coastal development programs. Their involvement is key to creating sustainable and inclusive growth within the sector.
