Fisher women of Hoshangabad, Madhya Pradesh

About 250 fisher women lives along with their families at the villages situated on the bank of river Narmada. They and their families are fully dependent on the catch, they do every day. In the past we have organized training program for them and have advised them suitably during the training to adopt new ways. Still their catch is very small. They don't have any land or other means to support to enhance the income of the family.

We are planning to form the SHGs. Hopefully this will help them. They have traditional boats and they catch the fish by net only. Any innovative idea to enhance their income!!! What steps should be taken to help them. Please guide!

Thanks.

NRMCW is going to participate in World CSR Congress on 18th February 2015 at Hotel Taj Lands End, Mumbai. Our organization has already been enrolled for Guidestar India's certification and we have hopefully qualified for the "Platinum Certificate" and we shall be awarded Platinum Seal before the distinguished audience at the event. This will make our organization creditable in the eyes of the donors. A detailed report shall be shared once we come back from there.
