Last week, the National Cooperative Development Corporation (NCDC) held an orientation program focused on bolstering ‘Primary Fishermen’s Cooperative Societies as FFPOs’.
The event targeted officials from Benfish, a prominent fishermen’s cooperative society headquartered in Kolkata, West Bengal.
Led by Ashok B Pillai, Executive Director of NCDC, the program aimed to empower the fishery sector and amplify its productivity.
NCDC serves as an End Implementing Agency (EIA) for the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) and is actively involved in the establishment and promotion of Fish Farmer Producer Organizations (FFPOs).
