The Koli women have never attended a workshop. Nor have they ever worked for a company – let alone run one. Yet they are directors of Daryavardi Producer Company Limited (DPCL), Mumbai’s first fish farmer producer organisation: a community-owned enterprise led entirely by Koli women that aims to transform their fish-vending trade from a cottage industry to a corporate venture. They already have 1,000 shareholders from the community. Besides delivering fish, masalas and snacks, they are diversifying into running live food counters and selling online. A community kitchen is up, a cloud kitchen is in the works, and exports are being explored. April marked three years since company’s formation. “We didn’t realise packaging affects shelf life; we always sold fish in polythene bags,” says Pratibha Patil, a director from Juhu Koliwada. “We’ve now learnt that packaging that is leakproof and attractive is not only more hygienic but can also help us sell more.”For 600 years, Koli women have plied their trade as they learnt it: moving in a straight line from landing centres and wholesale markets to independent sales counters. Even as markets evolved and competition cut into profits, their model remained largely unchanged. But new currents are now coursing through the community, altering the way its women do business. And better packaging is only part of the shift. The larger picture includes streamlined operations, centralised logistics, product development, digital payments, soft-skills training, branding and marketing – all the functions of a modern business reshaping Koli commerce. “We decided to follow the Amul model, bringing together Koli women to collectively produce and market fish and fish-based products. And because we wanted complete autonomy, we chose to run the enterprise not as a cooperative, but as a company,” says Ujjwala Patil, a community leader who founded the fishers’ rights organisation Daryavardi Mahila Sangh in 2018 – company’s ideological forerunner. “What Amul did for the White Revolution, DPCL will do for the Blue Economy.”The company is an agglomeration of over 50 self-help groups anchored in koliwadas across the city, each carrying out specialised work that supports the larger business.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosTVK Chief Vijay To Take Oath As Tamil Nadu CM On May 10, Trust Vote By May 13‘No Repentance’: Supreme Court On MP Minister’s Remark On Col Sofiya Qureshi‘Rangla to Kangla’: Raghav Chadha ’s Big Charge After ED Action | WatchIndia Successfully Tests Advanced Agni Missile With MIRV Technology‘First Enemy Is BJP’: Mamata Calls For Joint Oppn Platform As Suvendu Takes Oath As Bengal CMIndian Sailor Killed, 4 Injured After Dhow Catches Fire Near Strait Of HormuzMamata Banerjee’s X Bio Change Sparks Buzz After BJP Forms Bengal GovernmentDid TMC Avoid Official Entry of Political Killings?

The incident took place near Kamalasagar border outpost, an area known for smuggling activities allegedly aided by villagers on both sides of the border. According to sources, a BSF patrol spotted a group of 10-15 people transferring goods across the border fence to their Indian counterparts under cover of darkness. When challenged, the smugglers allegedly began pelting stones at the troops, who opened fire. The two men were injured and fell to the ground. They were identified as Nabin Hussain (20) and Md Moorsalin (40). They were taken to a hospital, where they were declared dead on arrival. Cops said the injured had admitted to being from Bangladesh and confessed to involvement in smuggling. After autopsy, their bodies were handed over to BGB, police said.
