A study was conducted with the objective of examining the socia economic impact of the technology that was transferred to the women folk through variuos methodologies and to empower these women both socially and economically through the adoption of these technologies. Fisher folk in the coastal belts were identified from selected villages viz., Ayiralllthe/lgll (23), Dnlnvnpllral1l (24) and Azheeknl (23)and the technology of edible oyster culture was demonstrated. Data were collected from the women with the help of a structured interview schedule. Dahl were collected for a period of three months during the year 2002- 03.
