SSTV to air special programs in commemoration of Fishermen’s Day

Similar to last year, SSTV is set to air several special programs on Wednesday to commemorate the National Fishermen’s Day.

Maldives annually celebrates National Fishermen’s Day on December 10^th, which this year, falls on Wednesday.

In light of this, SSTV’s weekday morning show ‘Sai Gadi’ will dedicate its Wednesday episode to Fishermen’s Day, featuring informative segments on the fishing industry as well as opinions and perspectives from the public.

A special program on fisheries, ‘Faisalge Tharubiyyathaa Filaavalhu’, will be aired at 11:00am. The show will feature Faisal sharing his childhood experiences in fishing with his children as a way of educating them about the field.

Scheduled for 14:40pm is the program, ‘Shiyam Kandu Mahah’, which features Shiyam returning to ocean fishing after four decades.

Meanwhile, SSTV’s weeknight current affairs program ‘Baaru Hathareh’ will also be dedicated to Fishermen’s Day on Wednesday.

Additional fisheries programs scheduled later that night include, ‘M. Maduvvari Haleemge Masverikamuge Viyafaari’, at 22:00pm, which will highlight how a successful fisheries business operates and why fisheries is an ideal profession for earning a livelihood.

An exclusive interview with Felivaru Fish Factory’s Regional Manager, Mishal Ahmed, is scheduled for 22:30pm, offering insights into the operations of one of the Maldives’ most prominent fisheries factories. This will be followed by ‘Felivaru Naaziya’ program at 22:45pm.

Other fisheries-related programs will also be broadcast alongside the mentioned programs.  

SSTV had similarly aired special fisheries programs on last year’s Fishermen’s Day.

SSTV is committed to bringing viewers stories of Maldivians, their culture, and traditions. As fisheries are the lifeblood of the Maldives, these special programs aim to honor fishermen.
