CMFRI Initiative Turns Coastal Women into Fisheries Entrepreneurs Across Kerala
A Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute-led initiative is helping women in Kerala’s coastal districts move from informal livelihoods into organised micro-enterprises, with 84 ventures now operating across eight districts. The programme has lifted household incomes by an estimated 30% to 35%, underscoring the economic value of targeted women-led enterprise support in the fisheries sector.
