मत्स्य सेतु मोबाइल फोन एप्लिकेशन जिसे मछली किसानों को महत्वपूर्ण जानकारी, जागरूकता और प्रशिक्षण प्रदान करने के लिए विकसित किया गया था, अब इसपर एक नई सुविधा भी शामिल कर दी गई है। किसान अब ऑनलाइन बाजारों तक पहुंच सकते हैं जो उन्हें मछलियों की खरीद और बिक्री में मदद करेगा।

The Matsya Setu mobile phone application which was developed to provide vital information, awareness and training to fish farmers has now been updated with a new feature. Farmers can now access online markets which will help them in buying and selling of fishes. The new feature aims to connect all stakeholders in the aquaculture sector.

They lost their land to the Sardar Sarovar Dam and now the Bhil adivasi fisherfolk of the predominantly tribal district Nandurbar in north Maharashtra are struggling with a decline in fish catch in the dam’s reservoir. Despite the introduction of cage aquaculture to enhance fishers’ livelihoods, their woes are far from over.

Timely intervention by way of mechanisation and updated equipment help farmers and fishers up their yield and income in Satara, Maharashtra.
