Through this mobile application, surveyors from the Fisheries Department of Andhra Pradesh aim to identify beneficiaries for various Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) schemes tailored to marine fishermen. The app, named 'Fisheries One,' serves as a comprehensive tool for efficiently registering and managing information related to boat owners, crew members, and their families.
Key functionalities of the application include:
Boat Owner Registration: Enables the surveyors to register and verify the details of boat owners, ensuring they meet the eligibility criteria for the DBT schemes.
Boat Crew Members Registration: Facilitates the registration of crew members working on the boats, capturing essential information for their inclusion in the beneficiary list.
Owner/Crew Family Members Registration: Allows for the detailed recording of family members of both boat owners and crew members, ensuring that all eligible individuals are considered for the benefits.
Owner Consent Form for all Registered Members: Incorporates a consent form process, ensuring that all registered members are aware of and agree to the terms and conditions of the scheme.
'Fisheries One' aims to streamline the identification process, ensuring transparency, accuracy, and ease of access to government benefits for the fishing community. This initiative is a step towards empowering marine fishermen in Andhra Pradesh, providing them with timely financial assistance and support through the DBT schemes
