Abstract
The paper aims to give the concept and functional approach of knowledge
system with reference to the fisheries sector. The background and strategies
to develop knowledge workers by translating the concept of knowledge system
are presented. The job opportunities given in the paper strengthen the need
of the development of knowledge workers through vocational education and
training. The Vocational Education Programme in the backdrop can be
effective both in the formal system of education through different models
suggested and through the non-formal system. The modular courses varying
from 50 hours and 2-3 weeks to 6 months or one year can be introduced in
the formal system as pre-vocational modules (50-h duration) in IX-X classes
in vocational institutions, and the non-governmental organizations/Krishi
Vigyan Kendras/Indian Council of Agricultural Research may offer occupationbased
modules (2-3 weeks to 6 months). The strategic approach for the
development of knowledge system highlighting various issues is also suggested.
