B.(1) MOTORISATION OF COUNTRY BOAT:
i) Brief Contact of the Scheme:
Our State has 7 coastal districts on the side of Bay of Bengal. Most of the fishermen depend on fishing for their livelihood. These traditional Marine Fishermen are being benefited by motorising their country crafts by which more fishing ground can be covered with less period of time, as a result of which the traditional fishermen can achieve better production both quantitatively as well as qualitatively by reaching the source early. The beneficiaries can be adequately self-employed under the above scheme as well as can give employment to another few.
