The Society for Assistance to Fisherwoman (SAF) under the Fisheries Department has decided to facilitate the opening of more micro enterprises led by women’s groups in Kozhikode district with attractive grants and loan schemes.
To ensure the participation of youngsters, help will be offered to set up modern business ventures in tourism, fashion design, and boutique management.
The supportive scheme, which aims to back conventional business ventures in the fisheries sector, offers 75% of the total working capital as grant. A group will have to find only 5% of the total cost, as the rest will be arranged as bank loan. The products and services will have to be branded as Theeramythri.
