  • Women's Collective Venture Towards Revival of Animal Husbandary For
    Women’s Collective Venture towards Revival of 6 Animal Husbandary for Livelihood Security - CASE STUDY A Case Study from a Village of Kutch District Meghadeepa Chakraborty How a women’s collective in drought-stricken Dador scripted a new phase in liveli- hood security through a judicious mix of watershed development, fodder banks and cow-milk production. Traditionally, livestock rearing or animal husbandry is considered one of the major sources of livelihood for the rural poor, especially in the semi-arid regions of the country. It contributes towards household income significantly and also supports food security, improved nutrition, and insurance at the household level. However, sustaining animal husbandry has become challenging for communities in arid and semi-arid zones due to a precarious water situation, inaccessibility of fodder, inadequate health facilities, lack of market and appropriate technology. A combination of all these factors often force poor households to look for alternative livelihood options such as migration, local wage labour etc, leaving behind their traditional occupations. Moreover, in such situations, women are the worst affected, posing a greater challenge. This case study gives a picture of a women’s collective, Sairi Jo Sangathan, in the Nakhatrana taluka of the Kutch district of Gujarat, and highlights the efforts made for the revival of the traditional occupation of animal husbandry and the changes it has brought about in the community. In analysing the case, an effort has been made to bring forth the initiatives taken by the women for forming a community- level institution and the arrangements that have been made surrounding the resource use.

  • Observations on the Fisheries of Mullet and Scope for Its Culture in Gulf of Kutch
    OBSERVATIONS ON THE FISHERIES OF MULLET AND SCOPE FOR ITS CULTURE IN GULF OF KUTCH N. D. CHHAYA, A. U. BUCH AND K. R. NARAYANAN Marine Biological Research Station, Port Okha ABSTRACT Fisheries of mullets, gear and tackle used, and scope for mullet culture in the Gulf of Kutch are discussed. INTRODUCTION Mullets have a wide distribution in the Indo-Pakistan-Bangladesh area. They are caught in varying degrees along the sea coast, in estuaries, creeks, bays and lagoons. Though they form a very little percentage (0.37%) of the total fish catch in India, they are important as a source of livelihood for thousands of fishermen families in selected areas and in fish farming. Mullet landings of Gu­ jarat form more than 25% of the mullet catch of India. Gulf of Kutch accounts for more than 50% of the total mullet landings of Gujarat. The Gulf of Kutch lies between 68° 20' E. to 70° 40' E. longitude and 22° 15' N. to 23° 40' N. latitude. It is fringed by Kutch district in the north and Jamnagar district in the south. It offers a coastline of about 560 km with about 5,000 sq. km of fishing area. The coastline is studded with estuaries (seasonal and perennial), creeks, lagoons and other shallow water areas suitable for culture practices. Even though mullet fishery is the major fishery in these two districts, little information is available about it. Bhasfcaran et al (1970) and Narayanan et al (1975) have made some observations on Mugit seheli (Forskal) fishery and mullet fry resources of Dwarka-Okha area.
