Our Assessment

medium

PMMSY supports fisheries and aquaculture clusters (including dedicated marine, inland, seaweed and ornamental-fish clusters) and value-chain infrastructure, with women’s participation a notable feature (about 99,018 women reported empowered, and women-led seaweed SHGs in Tamil Nadu). However, a clearly defined network of production/processing clusters with explicit, measurable focus on coastal women is only partially evidenced. Partial.
