is a member of the Fishworkers’ Forum of South Bengal (Dakshin Banga Matsyajibi Forum.) Hailing from a fishing village in East Midnapore, Jaydeb’s community depends entirely on farming and fishing for their livelihood. At the Fishworkers’ Forum, Jaydeb’s key role has been to help members of the forum complete and submit necessary forms for access to government benefits. He believes education and access to technology can create giant leaps of progress for his fisherfolk community who are often cheated and lied to by middlemen and contractors. His camera helps him capture not only the harassment meted out by the Forest Department but also the appalling living conditions of his community.
