2.Micro Irrigation Scheme

With increasing demand on water from various sectors, the availability of water is under severe stress. Agriculture sector is the largest user of water. While irrigation projects (Major and medium) have contributed to the development of water resources, conventional methods of irrigation are inefficient and lead to wastage of water. It has been recognized that the use of modern irrigation methods like drip and sprinkler irrigation are the ways for the efficient use of surface as well as ground water resources.This scheme is now implemented by providing 100% subsidy for small/marginal farmers and 75% subsidy for other category farmers.

3. Bamboo Mission in Tamil Nadu

India has the highest area (13.96 million ha)under bamboo and is the second richest country, after China, in terms of bamboo diversity with 136 species (125 indigenous and 11 exotic). India is a net importer of bamboo. It means that there are greater opportunities to harness the market potential by increasing its Production and ensuring establishment of a proper value chain ecosystem. In order to increase the area under Bamboo in non-forest areas such as Government lands, Public lands and Private lands, National Bamboo Mission scheme is being implemented.

This scheme also motivates on Post Harvest Management technologies skill development and awareness about bamboo cultivation. This scheme is centrally sponsored scheme with sharing pattern of 60:40. (Centre : State)
