The programme aims at augmenting income of farmers TIRUVANNAMALAI: The district administration will be sending a proposal for Rs.132 crore to the Union government for the implementation of the five-year National Agricultural Development Programme (NADP) in Tiruvannamalai district. This was disclosed by Collector Satyabrata Sahoo at a consultation meeting held with the officials of the agriculture and allied departments and local body representatives at the district, panchayat union and village panchayat levels at Vengikkal near here on Friday. Mr. Sahoo said that a district-level agricultural development programme should be formulated and integrated into the State-level project before being submitted to the Centre for approval. The programme aims at augmenting the income of the farmers and improving the quality of their life by adopting strategies to increase production. The Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU), Coimbatore, would be involved in formulating the project report by coordinating with the Departments of Agriculture, Horticulture, Agricultural Engineering, Animal Husbandry, Sericulture, Fisheries, and Agricultural Marketing, and the Water Resources Organisation (WRO) of the Public Works Department. Mr. Sahoo said that the project would be prepared after incorporating the views of the three-tier local body representatives. It would be successful only through joint efforts of the people’s representatives and the officials. Once the funds are sanctioned, they would be apportioned to the various departments for the implementation of the project. V. Kuppusamy, Joint Director of Agriculture, welcomed the gathering. Premavathy, Assistant Professor, TNAU, Pon Koothan, Joint Director of Animal Husbandry, Vallikanthan, Executive Engineer, WRO, PWD, M. Ravi, Assistant Director of Horticulture, Kaliyamoorthy, Assistant Director of Fisheries, S. Narayanan, Assistant General Manager, National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development, and M. Vijayakumar, Information and Public Relations Officer, participated in the meeting. S. Francis, Deputy Director of Agriculture, proposed vote of thanks.
