Knowledge is the most powerful resource for empowering individuals working in the fisheries sector in India. RFEU wants to import the correct information, skills, and awareness to ensure that the fishermen, fish farmers, vendors, and other workers in the industry are equipped with the knowledge necessary to operate their work. We believe that knowledge sharing is caring about how these professionals operate and attain individual and organisational success.
Our knowledge-sharing programs include-
RFEU offers hands-on training sessions conducted in villages, coastal areas, and farming units where they are most necessary. Experts demonstrate modern fishing techniques, aquaculture methods, and resource management practices.
Fishermen and fish farmers are made aware of the modern, sustainable, and environment-friendly, and scientifically proven practices. This is time to move away from the traditional and old methods of fish farming while protecting natural resources. These programs are designed to bridge the gap between the traditional methods and new technologies.
RFEU distributes research booklets, guidelines, newsletters, and updates on the policies related to fisheries, new technology, and national schemes. These resources are written in comprehensive language and are mainly picture-based, so that people with limited knowledge can also understand and get a clear idea of them. Relevant knowledge is also spread digitally through mobile apps, websites, and online training sessions so that beneficiaries across India can access these.
By creating local learning centres and knowledge hubs, RFEU ensures that knowledge is not only limited but also spread in different communities. In these knowledge hubs, peers can interact among themselves, and experienced fishers can mentor freshers.
Many professionals associated with the sector are still unaware of their entitlements, safety regulations, and welfare schemes. RFEU wants to import knowledge about their legal rights, labour protections, and other regulations. Professionals definitely need to learn about their rights and the facilities that they can avail to improve their business.
Through collaborations with research institutes and technical experts, RFEU shares knowledge of breeding technology, disease control, feed management, and environmental conservation. This helps the beneficiaries remain aware of the competitive trends in global and domestic markets.
We teach to avoid dependence on middlemen or external agents and equip the professionals with knowledge about finance, markets, and business models.
