The MoU aims to bolster the synergies between ICAR-CIFE and VAMNICOM, paving the way for enhanced cooperative management practices in fisheries
In a significant stride towards fostering collaboration in the field of cooperative management within the fisheries sector, the Central Institute of Fisheries Education (ICAR-CIFE) and the Vaikunth Mehta National Institute of Cooperative Management (VAMNICOM) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This is an important step forward in the realisation of the vision of the establishment of 2 lakh PACS, Dairy and Fishery Cooperatives in every Panchayat.
Fisheries in India provide livelihood to 14.46 million people and this strategic partnership aims to enhance the integration and reach of advanced technology as well as promotion of value addition in fishery cooperatives. VAMNICOM and ICAR-CIFE will together explore new opportunities in the area of Fish, Fish Cooperative and Fisheries ecosystem from the perspective of education, research, capacity building and consultancy.
The ceremony, held at the ICAR-CIFE campus in Mumbai, was graced by Dr Ravishankar CN, Director and Vice Chancellor of ICAR-CIFE, and Dr Hema Yadav, Director of VAMNICOM. Scientists, faculty members, and key team members from both institutions were also present on the occasion.
The MoU aims to bolster the synergies between ICAR-CIFE and VAMNICOM, paving the way for enhanced cooperative management practices in fisheries. Through this partnership, the institutions will collaborate on research, training and development initiatives that are expected to significantly impact the fisheries sector by improving cooperative management strategies and practices.
