MATSYAKERALAM

• MATSYAKERALAM is the dedicated e-governance portal developed by the Fisheries Department of Kerala.
• The system is designed as a web-enabled, workflow-based platform to facilitate the creation and maintenance of the Fisherfolk Family Register (FFR).
• It serves as the centralized database for all registered fishermen in the state, which is crucial for the effective implementation and monitoring of various welfare schemes and services.
• The primary objective of the portal is to ensure transparency and efficiency in service delivery by enabling Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
• By linking the FFR database directly to the bank accounts of beneficiaries, the system minimizes delays and prevents leakages in the distribution of financial aid and subsidies.
• Key functionalities include:
  • Online registration and verification of fisherfolk families.
  • Automation of workflow for scheme approvals and fund disbursement.
  • Tracking of individual beneficiary records for accountability.
  • Integration with banking systems to facilitate seamless electronic transfers.
• This platform falls under the broader umbrella of Kerala's e-Governance initiatives aimed at modernizing departmental operations and improving accessibility for the public.
