Abstract

The custom prevalent in south Indian fishing villages prevents civil society organizations (CSOs) from directly supplying fishing gear and other relief material to the beneficiaries of tsunami rehabilitation schemes. It is the panchayat (local village council) that decides on the distribution of aid. Thus, almost all CSOs hand over the assets to the panchayats, which, in turn, redistribute them to the fishermen.
