Abstract

The Madhya Pradesh government has made a landmark decision to allow villagers around the Tawa reservoir to retain their fishing rights. Not only will this enable locals to carry on fishing activity at the reservoir, it will also allow them to continue marketing their catch as well. Impressed by the Tawa model, the Digvijay Singh government is also set to devolve powers to fishing cooperatives all over the state.
