    Rural Research Project: Newra Village
    (MICA, 2008) Pawar, Ajinkya; Raghu, Chaitanya Koorella; Kasturee, Kailash
    The overall development objective for the initiative, is to establish responsible, productive and sustainable management of fishery resources by local communities in order to meet local needs and stimulate local development within the village of Newre. More specifically, it aims at developing community fisheries, while promoting private and community-based development activities in support of natural resource management. It also pursues the objective of strengthening institutions and building local and regional capacity. Preliminary assessments and observations indicate that regardless of the initiatives under way, people rely on direct interpersonal communication for their information needs in the sense that people talk to each other to convey information. People see radio and meetings as the potentially best way of communicating within their communities; but so far, the mass media has mostly been used for entertainment and, to some extent, for news.
