Most of the individuals depend on un-organised sectors for loans and other credit facilities which have high rate of interest along with unbearable terms and conditions. Ultimately it will lead these poor people to fall in debts. This paper is an attempt to educate the readers about MUDRA Yojana.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo identificar e caracterizar os aspectos socioeconômicos dos pescadores artesanais e a atividade pesqueira da comunidade de Iguaíba, localizada no município de Paço do Lumiar, Maranhão. A identificação de campo foi realizada por meio de visitas in loco. A principal técnica de coleta de dados foi a realização de entrevista semiestruturadas, contendo questões abertas e fechadas. Constatou-se que cerca de 95% dos pescadores entrevistados possuem o ensino fundamental incompleto. As pescarias são divididas entre o dono do barco e os pescadores, ou seja, 50% para o dono do barco e os outros 50% é dividido pelos outros pescadores. A comunidade pesqueira da Iguaíba é composta por pessoas que não dependem somente da pesca, mas sim de outras atividades produtivas, como: agricultura e manutenção de embarcações. Foram identificados oito sistemas de produção pesqueira na comunidade, sendo eles pedra, tainheira, malhão, manjuba, tarrafa, corvina, bandeirado e gozeira, em que a falta de investimentos acarreta na pouca autonomia das embarcações, nas condições de armazenamento dos organismos e na manutenção dos petrechos de pesca. A situação financeira das pessoas da região se caracteriza como relativamente baixa, já que dependem exclusivamente da pesca artesanal, da agricultura e de outras atividades lucrativas.SOCIOECONOMIC ANALYSIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE FISHING SYSTEMS OF THE COMMUNITY OF IGUAÍBA, MARANHÃOABSTRACTThis work aimed to identify and characterize the socioeconomic aspects of artisanal fishermen and the fishery in the community of Iguaíba, located in the county of Paço do Lumiar, in the state of Maranhão. Field identification was carried out through on-site visits, as well as direct observations. The maindata collection technique was semi-structured interview, containing open and closed questions. It was found that about 95% of the fishermen interviewed had incomplete elementary education. The fisheries are divided between the owner of the boat and the fishermen, with 50% for the owner of the boat and the other 50% divided by the other fishermen. The fishing community of Iguaíba iscomposed of people who do not depend only on fishing, but on other productive activities, such as agriculture and boat maintenance. Eight fishery production systems were identified in the community, such as stone, tainheira, malhão, manjuba, tarrafa, corvina, bandeirado and gozeira, in which lack of investment implies little vessel autonomy, storage conditions of organisms and maintenance of fishing gear. The financial situation of the people in the region is characterized as relatively low, as they depend exclusively on small-scale fisheries, agriculture and other earning activities.Keywords: Artisanal fisheries; Socioeconomic profile; Fishing activity.

The traditional trade and business are increasingly getting tough competition from e-commerce. E-commerce has reached most of the consumers in the urban sector and the youth, but the challenge lies in front of the companies so that it reaches the rural sector and the aged people. The rural population of India has to go to nearby cities to purchase luxury products. E-commerce can widen its area of operations and come to their help. Also, thanks to Jio, the people aged more than 45 and the retired are increasingly getting digital in the urban areas. Many of them still purchase the old-fashioned way, but they may adapt to e-commerce as they are adopting the digital world. Here, e-commerce can get new market segment without changing much in their logistics. A thing that is critical within the digital marketplace is the profound understanding of people, their behavior, and their community.

Most of the people who live in coastal villages are fishermen and are very dependent on marine resources and coastal ecosystems. The purpose of this study was to determine the socio-economic conditions of coastal communities that exploit the potential of the coast in Batui District, Banggai District. This research was conducted in the coastal area of Batui District, Central Sulawesi Province. Data were collected by means of surveys and interviews. The data analysis was done qualitatively and descriptively. The social conditions of the coastal communities in Batui District mostly live on the coast with less dense population density. The aspect of education shows that the average coastal community with a Bachelor degree is 40% with the human development index (HDI) in the medium category. It is seen from the economic condition that the livelihoods of the coastal communities in Batui District are dependent on the fishery sector, namely partly as fishermen. The fishing gear and fishing fleet used for fisheries in the research location are small-scale fisheries. Keywords coastal communities, small-cale fisherie, capture fisheries and Batui District

Abstract This research aims to explore the advantage and disadvantage of hiring foreign migrant laborers by small-scale fisheries (SSFs) toward rural coastal areas. The targeted groups are migrant fishermen coming from Indonesia who work onboard Taiwan’s fishing boats within Nanfangao area. First of all, we outline the importance of SSFs, particularly in developing countries. Many SSFs are characterized by self-governing mechanisms that have significant conservation value. This study is not only an exploratory research to find out and discover the range and scope of issues and concepts, but also is an explanatory research to explain how or why things are used to predict, which is carried out to investigate in a timely manner a phenomenon, that has not been studied before, or has not been well explained previously. As a result, this study indicates that the future research needs to demand priority and generate operational definitions for building a better-researched model.

We developed a time series analysis using data on curimatã (Prochilodus nigricans), which landed in Santarém, a small city located on the right banks of the Amazon River. A 10-year record of monthly average catches per day of P. nigricans was analyzed using forecasting procedures in the open-source software GRETL 1.7.8. We established two models from the identifications made with the correlograms of hyperparametrization and seasonal differences. The autoregressive terms of the model reach three years, indicating that individuals of the species are being caught around the age of three. This may indicate that the curimatãs in the landings at Santarém from 1992 to 2002 were more than two years old, potentially a sign of a lack of fishing pressure on the lower age groups.

Econometrics Analysis

Traditional fishermen are small-scale fisheries with small-scale catches. They are commonly found in coastal areas and become one of the main income source of coastal communities in developing countries. They use simple fishing gear and small boats in fishing, such as outboard motor and non-powered motor. The changing of seasons (arrest and famine) in Makassar Strait Waters Bordered which is directly to the West coastal area of Pare-Pare City of South Sulawesi Province Indonesia result in the change of the catch and income production of the catching business. That affects the change of household income, especially the small-scale fishermen outboard motor. The multiple regression econometrics analysis method with independent variable estimation model qualitative was applied. The census technique was used in this study with the total of 42 respondents. The findings indicate that the age as the characteristics of the fisherman respondents and the difference of residence areas have an effect on the change of household income of small-scale fisherman. Meanwhile the education, family dependent, and the experience of going to sea do not affect the household income. The productive fishermen has a better physical ability to make an optimal capture for the welfare of their family in meeting the needs in their household.JEL Classification: D19, Q18, Q22
