The water hyacinth value-added products training initiative by Marine Products Export Development Authority and JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), Kochi was launched to empower fishworker communities. Implemented through NETFISH, the program trains 120 beneficiaries from Valanthakad to transform water hyacinth into sustainable products. We thank Malayala Manorama, Mathrubhumi, Chandrika, Kerala Kaumudi, and Deshabhimani for highlighting this initiative.
