ICAR-CIFRI organized an impactful Awareness Programme in Joygopalpur, Basanti, within the Sundarbans region. This initiative aimed at fostering self-reliance among the rural tribal communities of the Sundarbans.
The programme saw a robust turnout, with 130 tribal fishers from the Basanti area participating actively. The event was designed to equip these fishers with essential knowledge and skills that would empower them to improve their livelihoods and promote sustainable practices in their local fisheries.
The focus of the awareness programme was on enhancing the self-sufficiency of the tribal fishers by providing them with training on modern fishing techniques, sustainable practices, and the importance of environmental conservation. The sessions included practical demonstrations and discussions on innovative methods to increase productivity while ensuring ecological balance.
By promoting self-reliance and better management practices, ICAR-CIFRI aims to strengthen the socio-economic conditions of the rural tribal communities in the Sundarbans, helping them to build a more sustainable future for themselves and their families.
