Rated as the most predominant sector in the economy of Tamil Nadu with nearly 70% of the population being engaged in agricultural activites, this sector is not far from being recognised as the pride occupation of the state. The agricultural scenario in Tamil Nadu is in a state of crisis due to the ground water shortage that is rated at a 70% low contributed by the indiscriminate usage of water without any novel idea.
To ensure this sector is given its due focus, a separate budget for agriculture will be drafted
Check dams, one for every five kilometres across key rivers in the state, such as Palar, Cauvery, Vaigai and Thamirabarani will be constructed and a separate ministry for this purpose will be formulated and efforts will be taken to link all rivers in Tamil Nadu
All small and marginal farmers will receive free solar 5HP water pumps within the first two years of the regime
Agricultural product prices will be fixed based on the investments made by the farmer in a particular crop so as to ensure no farmer incurs loss during procurement
Collaborative efforts with country like Israel will be initiated to incorporate advanced agricultural technologies and modern machinery for development
Organic farming and horticulture will be promoted within the state
A 100% subsidy for micro irrigation will be introduced
Self entrepreneurship amongst the rural agricultural community will be encouraged thereby providing them with job opportunities and employment
