Take all-out measures to ensue that the benefits of the
State Government’s kuruvai package reached all sections of the intended
beneficiaries in the delta region within the shortest possible time and
without any delay, Agriculture Commissioner M. Rajendran emphasised here
on Monday.
Addressing a review meeting on the
implementation of the kuruvai package in delta districts with officials
from the Department of Agriculture in Thanjavur, Tiruchi and Ariyalur
districts here, he insisted that the time schedule to deliver the
objectives of the kuruvai package were met. Mr. Rajendran said that Rs.
19.02 crore has been allotted to Thanjavur district to implement the
package. Free transplantation of mat nurseries, supply of micro
nutrients and the like would take care of the farmers’ needs.
In
Thanjavur district, while mat nurseries have been raised on 45 hectares
to cover the target, more needed to be raised and it would be done
shortly. Plantation had been completed on 413 hectares and the work
would gather pace in the days ahead. There were adequate stock of
agricultural inputs with cooperative societies and private dealers for
the kuruvai season.
Thanjavur Collector N. Subbaiyan was present during the deliberations.
Later, he held a similar meeting with officials in Tiruvarur. Tiruvarur Collector M. Mathivanan was present.
