 A. DETAILS OF SELECTED VILLAGE
Village: Tamliporia Gram Panchayat Padima-II
District Purba Medinipur State West Bengal

Why Tamliporia ?
The coastal region of Purba Medinipur, including areas like Ramnagar and nearby villages such
as Tamliporia, has a long and rich history tied to fishing and aquaculture. The Latitude and longitute
of that proposed area is 21°38'28.1"N 87°33'41.7"E. The region's economy has traditionally been
based on marine resources due to its proximity to the Bay of Bengal and numerous rivers and
estuaries.

Key Historical Aspects:

1. Fishing as a Primary Livelihood: For centuries, the coastal communities in this area have
relied on fishing as a primary source of livelihood. Traditional fishing techniques have been
passed down through generations, and many families have made their living from catching
fish, crabs, and other seafood from the sea and river estuaries.

2. Historical Significance of the Sea: The region's strategic location along the Bay of Bengal
made it an important area for both local and international trade in the past. Fishing, along with
salt production and other marine resources, was a significant part of the economy. This
history dates back to ancient times when coastal communities engaged in seafaring and trade.

3. Cultural Practices: Fishing has shaped the cultural identity of the region. Festivals,
customs, and community events often celebrate the harvest of marine resources. Local folk
traditions and cuisine are also deeply influenced by the abundance of fish and seafood, with
seafood dishes being central to the local culture.

4. Development of Aquaculture: Over time, the development of aquaculture became an

important aspect of the fishing industry in Purba Medinipur. The region has seen the
introduction of shrimp farming, fish ponds, and other forms of aquaculture that supplement
traditional fishing. This shift allowed for more controlled production of marine life and a way
to maintain fish stocks in the face of overfishing.

5. Challenges and Sustainability: Like many coastal regions, the history of fishing in Purba
Medinipur has faced challenges due to environmental degradation, overfishing, and the
impacts of climate change (e.g., rising sea levels, storms, and coastal erosion). Despite these
challenges, local communities have adapted and found ways to continue their fishing
traditions, often through the use of more sustainable methods or by diversifying into
aquaculture.

In summary, the long history of fishing in the Tamliporia area and surrounding regions of Ramnagar
has not only been crucial to the local economy but also central to the cultural heritage of the people.
The area has evolved with the times, integrating modern aquaculture practices with traditional fishing
methods, all while facing modern challenges related to sustainability and environmental conservation.

3. Information and Communication Hub:

 Weather Updates and Alerts: The kiosk can serve as a place where weather information is
shared, helping fishermen stay informed about upcoming storms, tides, or changes in fishing
conditions. This can contribute to safety and better planning for fishing trips.

 Community Announcements: The kiosk can be used to display important community notices,
such as fishing regulations, government programs, training opportunities, or local events,
helping keep the community connected and informed.

4. Tourism and Community Engagement:

 Tourist Information: If the area attracts tourists, a kiosk can provide information about local
attractions, fishing tours, echo-tourism opportunities, and souvenir sales, offering an additional
source of income for the community.

 Cultural Exchange: The kiosk can also serve as a point of cultural exchange, where local
fishermen can share their traditions and knowledge with visitors, promoting local culture and
enhancing community identity.

5. Support for Fish Marketing and Distribution:

 Direct Sales of Fresh Fish: The kiosk can provide a clean and accessible space for fishermen to
sell fresh catch directly to consumers. This cuts down on transportation costs and allows for fair
pricing, benefiting both sellers and buyers.

 Storage for Fish: In some cases, kiosks can offer temporary storage for fish or seafood,
particularly in cold storage units for maintaining the quality of perishable goods until they can
be sold or transported.

6. Emergency Response and First Aid:

 First Aid Station: In a fisheries area, accidents or injuries can occur during fishing or while
working with equipment. A kiosk can be equipped with basic first aid supplies, serving as a
firstresponse station for minor injuries or medical emergencies.

 Emergency Communication: The kiosk can act as a point of contact in case of emergencies,
where fishermen can access communication services (such as a phone or satellite service) to
report incidents, request assistance, or call for help.

7. Convenience and Time-Saving:

 Reduced Travel Time: Having a kiosk within close proximity to the fishing area saves time for
fishermen, as they don't need to travel far to purchase goods, services, or information. This is
particularly beneficial in remote or rural fishing communities where access to larger shops or
markets may be limited.

 Time-Efficient for Workers: With essential services and products available at the kiosk,
workers can spend more time on productive activities (such as fishing or processing) rather than
traveling for supplies.

8. Promote Sustainable Practices:

 Eco-Friendly Products: A kiosk can offer eco-friendly products like sustainable fishing gear,
reusable items, and environmental awareness materials about sustainable fishing practices. This
promotes sustainability and supports responsible practices within the local fishing industry.

 Education and Training: The kiosk can provide informational resources or offer workshops on
topics such as sustainable fishing, seafood preservation, or water conservation, helping improve
the community's long-term prospects.

9. 24/7 Accessibility:
 Round-the-Clock Service: Many fishing communities operate at night or during early hours. A
kiosk can be open 24/7, providing essential services at all hours, whether it’s to buy equipment,
get updates on the weather, or communicate with others in the area.

 Flexibility in Operations: A kiosk can be run by multiple people in shifts, ensuring that the
services it offers are always available to the community, especially during the busiest fishing
seasons.

In summary, a kiosk in a fisheries area plays a multifaceted role in supporting local economic
development, providing convenient access to goods and services, improving safety and security, and
fostering community engagement. It can act as a business hub, information center, and emergency
station, contributing to the overall well-being and sustainability of the fishing community. By making
essential resources easily accessible and promoting local commerce, a kiosk can significantly enhance
the efficiency and resilience of fisheries areas.
