About Coffed
As goes a saying United we stand divided we fall, one crore is a huge number but
our fisherman community was suffering and there was no hope for them. Exploitation
channels were making all the money and the hard working community was not getting
the dividends and they were getting pushed to the corner.
COFFED that is Co-operative Fisheries Federation was formed in 2006 with the sole
purpose of uniting the community, help them with everything from problem related
to fisheries, to disputes over water bodies to education for their child and providing
them insurance. We at COFFED look at each and every aspect of the life of a fisherman
community and work towards improving their way of life.
Federation believes in the philosophy of ?Help yourself by helping others?. Its
all about the feeling of togetherness and unity at COFFED. We are here to give the
fisherman community a sense of belongingness, a purpose to come under one umbrella
and take the fisherman community and the fisheries in Bihar to new heights.
We are registered under Bihar Self Supporting Co-operative society Act. 1996 (Bihar
Act 2, 1997), with registration number. - BR-00-00-00-FED-002-2006 (Dt.:03.11.2006).Since
the formation in such a short duration we have achieved phenomenal results and we
don?t want to really talk about it the results are visible in their home; the results
are there to be seen at their kids faces. Sky is not the limit for us, we look way
beyond that.
"Founded on the principles of private initiative, entrepreneurship and self-employment,
underpinned by the values of democracy, equality and solidarity, the co-operative
movement can help pave the way to a more just and inclusive economic order"
- Kofi Annan
