Fisherfolk Women: a Study with Special Reference to Pattinavar Fisherfolk of Puducherry INFOKARA RESEARCH ISSN NO: 1021-9056 FISHERFOLK WOMEN: A STUDY WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO PATTINAVAR FISHERFOLK OF PUDUCHERRY M.Premapriya1&Dr.M. Jeyaseelan2 Abstract: The Fisheries sector is an important source of food, nutritional security, and livelihood for millions of people around the world. The role of women in fisheries plays a significant role in the post-harvest related activities viz. peeling, fish trading, export-oriented works, making value- added products, small scale entrepreneurship, fish curing, etc. Besides this, women also have the additional responsibility of household management, domestic chores, childcare, education, health, sanitation, financial management. Men, by and large, venture sea for fishing after which the work is taken over by women, making men independent of any additional burden. However, the case is different for women with the responsibility of both family and fisheries-related activities. While balancing both, they confront a myriad of issues in which the family related issues occupy the paramount place. Keeping this in mind, the current study explores the lives of Pattinavar fisher folk women of Puducherry to analyze and study the socio-economic conditions of the fishing-folk community with stress on the fisherwomen’s family issues. The primary data were collected through a series of scheduled interviews conducted in following six fisherman villages of Puducherry namely,Chinnaveerampattinam, Veerampattinam, Vambakeerapalayam, Kurusukuppam, Vaithikuppam and Solinagar. The total household populations of six villages are 5,376. From each village 10 fisher folk women were chosen as respondents using the purposive sampling method together combining a sample size of sixty members. The study found that the majorities (66%) of women were under the middle age group and they had a middle school level of education. Most of the respondents (50%) had a monthly income level of Rs. 3000 to 5000. More than half of the respondents had 5-10 years of experience. Most of the respondents reported being victims of an alcoholic spouse. Keywords: socio economic status, family problems, fisher folk, 1M.Premapriya, Ph.DResearch Scholar& ICSSR Research Associate, Department of Sociology, Periyar University, Salem – 11 2Dr.M.Jeyaseelan, Assistant Professor, Department of Sociology, Periyar University, Salem – 11 Volume 8 Issue 10 2019 895 http://infokara.com/ INFOKARA RESEARCH ISSN NO: 1021-9056 Introduction Globally, women in fishing communities play multidimensional roles that include livelihood, household, reproductive and community ones. Their involvement in fisheries value chains is invisible in spite of being active in a wide range of harvest and post-harvest activities. Women have to come up with several challenges that affect their mental and physical vigor, the pattern of dependence on women for family management, gourmet, raising children, maintaining household chores along with financial management is similar throughout the fishing hamlet. In addition to this, women also become a victim of loan and debt burden which ultimately falls on their shoulders in spite of having a working male partner. The burden of her responsibility’s doubles in the off-season. Introduction of mechanization and intense multiday fishing have inversely affected the working pattern of women, household responsibility has also increased to a considerable extent. There are about 0.5 million fisher households located along the Indian coast and a total of 3 million fisherfolk inhabiting the coastal villages. The average number of seafaring fishermen is 282 in a coastal village. Out of the 1.2 million fisherfolk involved in the post-harvest sector, women occupy a considerable proportion of more than 0.5 million. They play a significant role in the pre and post-harvest operations, they form an inevitable part of fisheries activities throughout the progressive stage. Their role in household management is also significantly higher. Most of the labor forces involved in pre-processing and post-processing plants of shrimps are women. Women also occupy a very good proportion of the workforce in export-oriented processing of cuttlefish, lobsters, and finfish varieties. Pondicherry Union Territory and Fishery – A Profile Puducherry is the capital of Union Territory of Pondicherry. It is on the east coast about 162 kms. South of Chennai located at the Bay of Bengal. The Union Territory of Puducherry comprises of four coastal regions i.e. Puducherry, Karaikal, Mahe, and Yanam. Puducherry and Karaikal are situated on the East Coasts in Tamil Nadu, Yanam on the East Coast in Andhra Pradesh, and Mahe on the West Coast in Kerala. The Union Territory of Puducherry has a total fishermen population of about 95,467 of whom 29,383 fishermen are actively engaged in fishing from 29 marine fishing villages and 23 inland fishing villages or hamlets scattered in and around Volume 8 Issue 10 2019 896 http://infokara.com/ INFOKARA RESEARCH ISSN NO: 1021-9056 about it. In total 52 marine and inland fishing villages are located in the coastal line as well as adjacent to the coastal line. Puducherry Union Territory has one harbour in Puducherry and one in Karaikal. Two harbours are under construction in Mahe and Yanam respectively. All the marine fishing villages are considered as the ‘fish landing centers’ by the fishermen of Puducherry Union Territory (Department of Fisheries, Puducherry, 2013). The Union Territory of Puducherry has a total coastal line of 45 kilometers, (approximately 0.55 per cent to the total Indian costal length of 8129 kilometers) of which 24 kilometers lies in Puducherry. About 1000 sq.km. of continental shelves are enriched with marine fisheries potential. The Union territory’s capital is the city of Puducherry (the total fishermen population is 95,467 (7.64 per cent of total population) of which 29,383 (30.77 per cent of active fishermen) fishermen are actively engaged in fishing. (Department of Fisheries, Puducherry, 2013) Review of Literature BijayalakshmiDevinogmaithem and Ajit Kumar Ngangbam (2014)in their articleon “Socio-economic conditions and cultural profile of the fishers in India- a review”Observed as socio-economic conditions of the fishers in India are very low. Fishers generally have purse less education and live under improper housing conditions with a very low income from fishing, fishers supported a large member of family which compel the fisher’s to barrow credits to fulfill their basic needs. The incomes of the fishers were very low and remain circulation the vicious circle of poverty. India is a country with diversity were reflected in their culture and this cultural diversity were reflected in their fishing activities to training programmes and scientific orientations are avail at heterogeneous manner in most of the places in India. Therefore, the proper fishery management policies, effective input supply, technical and social support may improper livelihood of the fishers which will ultimately increase the overall fisheries productivity. M. Dalin Marry et.al (2015)intheir article entitled on “Socio-economic status of fisher folks engaged in mussel fishery at Kanyakumar District of Tamil Nadu, India” the analyzed of the age status of fishermen involved in mussel fishing at Kanyakumari district. The study analyzed on their Socioeconomic, marital status, age, monthly income, educational status, family status and housing facility level were selected for the purpose of study. The data were collected from 1170 respondents through personal interview with the help of pre-tested survey scheduled Volume 8 Issue 10 2019 897 http://infokara.com/ INFOKARA RESEARCH ISSN NO: 1021-9056 and the data were analyzed the excel XP 2007 software. Based on this result shows that the literacy level and awareness about education was very low around the fisherman. So, it may be suggested that more attention should be given to enhance the literacy level of the coastal population. Materials and Method The present study attemptsto find out the socio-economic conditions of women fishermen community and to analyze the family issues of fisher folk women. The study wasbased on descriptive research studies in nature. The present study was confined only to fishermen community in Puducherry region, which included rural villages. The primary data were collected through the interview schedule from the following the six fishing villagesof Puducherry taluk, that is are Chinnaveerampattinam, Veerampattinam, Vambakeerapalayam, Kurusukuppam, Vaithikuppam and Solinagar. The total household populations of six villages are 5,376. From the researcher has carried out each village of selected 10 fisher folk women were chosen respondents by the way ofused the purposive sampling method and the data was collected from both primary and secondary sources. Hence, the total sample size was sixty.

  • Roads & Bridges
    ROADS & BRIDGES At the time of merger of Pondicherry with the Indian Union in the year 1954, the total length of road network was in the order of 232 km with nearly two thirds of it unsurfaced. Rural areas did not have connectivity to the main roads. Due to successive five year plans, today all the 11 towns and 264 villages in the Union Territory are connected by a road network of total length 2292 km. Out of this, 601 km are PWD roads, all surfaced. The remaining l691 km comes under local bodies of which 123l km are surfaced and 460 km are unsurfaced as of 1998-1999. All the towns and villages in Union Territory of Pondicherry are well connected by roads coming under categories of National highways, state highways, District Roads and Rural roads. However, due to rapid urbanization, colonization and industrialization the traffic intensity has increased manifold resulting in traffic congestion, poor road/pedestrian safety, strain on public services, stress on road stability, overall degradation of road environment. Therefore, there is a need to upgrade and strengthen the existing roads to IRC standards in a comprehensive manner including widening (single lane to intermediate lane, intermediatre lane to double lane and double lane to four lane), strengthening and standardizing the road pavements and junction geometrics, construction/reconstruction of bridges and culverts, subways. etc. An “Integrated Traffic Engineering Study” is proposed to be entrusted on a consultancy to identify existing deficiencies in the road network and to prepare a detailed perspective plan of action addressing areas of concern such as road/pedestrian safety, taxation structure, cost effective technology in road making, control/removal of encroachments, unplanned ribbon development, uncoordinated cutting of roads for development of public utilities/services.

Satheeshkumar Department of Ecology and Environmental Sciences Pondicherry Central University, P.O. Box 60501, Pondicherry, India * Email of the corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Seven species of amphipod crustaceans from Pondicherry mangroves, (Southeast coast of India) are described and illustrated. Eriopisa chilkensis, Eriopisella sp, belonging to family Gammaroidea. Melita dentada belonging to family Melitidae, two species of family Aoridae ( Grandidierella bonnieroides, G. pathyi ), one species of family Ampithoidae (Cymadusa pathyi ) and one species of family Isaeidae ( Isala montagui ) were recorded. Head microsculpturing characters are the discriminating sets of characters useful for species identification. Keywords: Amphipod, distribution, species, mangroves, Pondicherry 1. Introduction Indian mangroves have a rich diversity of soil dwelling organisms which include micro, meio and macro forms and reports on these groups are limited to certain areas only. Gammarid amphipods are common and widely distributed macrofauna in marine and freshwater systems. Amphipods one of the most abundant marine crustacean groups is widely perceived to be difficult to identify. They are diversified, in terms of the numbers of species, the niches occupied and are classified according to habitats as epifaunal, infaunal and demersal planktonic amphipods. Amphipods are important in mangrove and sea grass ecosystems. They are significant not only as food for fishes and some larger crustaceans but also play an important function in the decomposition of wastes and in the cycle of nutrients (Robertson and Mann 1980).
