    Development programme for women in fisheries
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India), Cochin, 1998) Cecily, P.J.
    Role of women in fisheries is now being increasingly recognised. However, lack of financial support, management skills, planning and operational constraints retard the progress of their participation. The priorities and targets with regard to increased awareness and information to ensure project success are discussed. Commitment and support of policy makers and government are essential to achieve the goal. The success of project implementation also depends on sharing of infrastructure with research and educational institutions. Appropriate steps are needed at state level to implement gender sensitive projects. Adequate funds also need to be provided for dissemination of technological advancement to the target women group.

    Fishery techology package for the development of coastal women
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India), Cochin, 1988) Cecily, P.J.
    The mechanisation of fishing vessels, introduction of different type of synthetic fibres for fish nets and modernisation of fishing gear and methods have revolutionised fishing resulting in substancial increase in the catches. This necessitated appropriate development in post-harvest technologies such as handling and storage , quality, standards, preservation etc. and the Central Institute of Fisheries Technology has played a key role in the R & D activities pertaining to these aspects. The paper deals with organisation of training programmes in the field of hygenic handling of fish/shell fish, preparation of diversified products and utilization of fish waste by conversion into useful byproducts with a view to opening up employment opportunities to coastal women. In collaboration with the department of Science and Technology (Govt. of India), the Central Institute of Fisheries Technology has already trained three batches of 25 women each from coastal fishing villages Chellanam and nearby Vypeen islands. The establishment of village level women cooperative societies, setting up of production units based on location-specific programmes, quality evaluation, market promotion of fish products are some of the areas requiring technical guidance and financial assistance from the Government/voluntary agencies.
