Tamilnadu Chief Minister Selvi. J.Jayalalitha has made a large number of announcements on the floor of the Legislative Assembly for showing definite improvement both in economic and social development of the state. The announcements made for the farming sector are indeed laudable. The latest announcement is with regard to installation of 2,000 pump sets with solar energy at 80% subsidy to the farmers. As a part of Second Green Revolution in the State of Tamil Nadu a subsequent announcement made is with regard to Drip Irrigation and Sprinkler Irrigation with 100% subsidy to small and marginal farmers and 75% subsidy to other farmers. Probably, Tamil Nadu is the first state to introduce this scheme in the country (announcement under Rule No.110 of State Assembly).
As a former Agricultural Production Commissioner I only wish the scheme is properly conceived and executed with a flawless and transparent approach by the officials concerned.
