The Sangh was formed after a struggle under the leadership of the Kisan Adivasi Sangathan, in response to which the State government accorded exclusive fishing rights to a cooperative of displaced fishermen. The federation of these cooperatives came to be known as the Tawa Matsya Sangh.

The Tawa Matsya Sanha (TMS) is fighting for the rights of the fisherman to continue fishing for their livelihood in the Tawa reservoir, as the government had given the rights of fishing in the reservoir to private contractors.

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer: The government, as a response to the protests by the TMS, created a committee to assess the issue. The committee recommended that the villagers should be given the fishing rights for their livelihood. Consequently, in 1996, the Madhya Pradesh government decided to give the displaced people the rights for the reservoir. Two months later a five-year lease agreement was signed and on January 2, 1997, the villagers from 33 villages started their new year with their first catch.
