Abstract

While we talk about inclusive growth globally and equality among unequals, the actual methods and the procedures which are being adopted for implementing these thoughts differ globally in terms of policies and planning of different regions. If we consider fishery as an industry, fishermen essentially constitute the primary stakeholder group. The services rendered by fishers to the fishing sector are the basic platform for the prospective growth of the fishing industry substantially. Sharing the acquired experience and their unique efforts in providing night time labour, source of traditional know-how related to fish and fishery, are extremely important for its sustainability. Without inclusive growth and improvement in their socio-economics, the growth of the fishing industry shall not be at the desired level. Disparity in living standard, unequal access to monetary income and lack of basic amenities would lead to discontent among fishers as a result of which their motivation level to participate in fishing activities may fall down. Appropriate design and implementation of developmental programmes are the key to improve the socio-economic condition of the fishing community. This article highlights the status of marine fisheries in Odisha especially analysing the socio-economics of marine fishers with special reference to the targeted policies of the Governments.
