Organise a camp for the Gabit community in Konkan: Maha Minister Save

Mumbai, May 27 (UNI) A special camp should be organised to provide the benefits of schemes like loan provision, interest refund and skill development training to maximum members of the Gabit community in Konkan, Maharashtra's Other Backward Bahujan Welfare Minister Atul Save said on Tuesday.
A meeting was held in the Mantralaya (secretariat) during the day under the chairmanship of Minister Save regarding the establishment of an Economic Development Corporation for the Gabit community. The community has been pressing for the setting up of the corporation for itd overall economic upliftment.
Save said the government will make positive efforts in this regard.
Fisheries Minister Nitesh Rane, MLA Nilesh Rane, Principal Secretary of the Other Backward Bahujan Welfare Department Vinita Ved Singal, as well as representatives of the Gabit Samaj Sanghatana were present in this meeting.
The Gabit community mainly resides in Sindhudurg, Ratnagiri districts of Konkan as well as in Mumbai.
Minister Rane said the Gabit community is traditionally dependent on fishing and related businesses. With the changing times and modernisation, their traditional businesses are facing many challenges. It is necessary to establish the independent corporation for the social and economic benefit of the community.
