(i) Selected Programmes—Targets and Achievements ...... 282-300
(ii) Minimum Needs Programme—Outlays, Targets and Achievements .. 301-305 In the year under review, the Agriculture sec! or achieved an all-time high level of foodgraia production. To an extent this had a favourable impact on indust rial prod ucu on and the general price level, as well as State Income. Industrial production, on the other hand, registered an un impressive growth owing to obstacles in power supply and raw materials shortages, and to a small extent problems in labour management. However, indications are that in recent months industrial production has begun to improve. The power front was less efficient this year contributed by deficiencies in thermal power, giving cause fcr a fairly long period of varying de^ees of power cuts. The step-down in relief from outside had sizeably reduced power avaial- bility in the Slate. The uptrend in prices was mainly influenced by the manufacturing secator. In the vital sphere of employment, the backlog of registered unemployed kept pace with job- creat!on at higher levels from year to year, fhe State economy’s progress was amidst pressures of different kinds and future prospects would depend on the extent the pressures are eased.
State I ncom e
State Income at constant prices estimated at Rs. 3,224 crores for 1978-79 (latest year foc which data are available) registered a 10-7 per cent growth over the previous level of Rs. 2,912 crores. Although impressive, the growth this year was lower marginally as compared to the 11'4 p^f ceni. growth rscorded in 1977—78. As io tli3 share of different sectors in total income, during the last three years while the primary sector had kept up the 38 percent growth, the secondary sector had improved its share from 26 per cent to 27 per cent, the teritiary sector ex periencing a reduction from 36 per cent to 35 per cent. That the rate of growth in State Income instead of advancing, had actually declined marginally is attributable to the less impressive per formance of the primary sector, the secondary sector making a positive contribution. The primary sector generating income to the tune of Rs. 1,231 crores showed a 12-1 per cent increase over Rs. 1,098 crores secured in 1977—78. At this rate, the growl h was considerably lower than the previous 16-5 per cent. To the lower growth of income in the primary sector,the decline -in the agricultural• - sector- by 4-6----- per cent------was chieflyi U.. responsible. ^1. The ^1.. lower______level 3 of______income; ______
‘Mining and Quarrying, the less important constituents of the primary sector had both registered a negative income growth. income generation in the secondary sector estimated at Rs. 867 crores for the year 1978-79 showed an increase of 13‘1 pet cent over 1977-78. This was appreciable compared to the 8-4 per cent growth registered in 1977-78. The leading contribution to this year’s high income level wasficom‘Construction—19-8 per cent increase. ‘ Registered Manufacturing’ and ‘Electricity, Gas and^ Water Supply followed withariseinincomeby 16*3percentand 14-4 percent respectively. Produiction in industries manufacturing electrical ind.ustrial machinery, apparatus and parts, bicycles, cycle rickshaws and parts and electricity recorded a sizeable increase in outpi t as borne out by the General Index of Industrial Production, the annual average of which had advanced to W5*35; in 1977—78. Hot only was the availability of power and raw materials to these industries satisfactory but they had also less of labour problems. The 7*5 p ^ cent growth in income generation in the tertiary sector this year had originated m *^ansport, Commuiucation and Tra^?.e’ (9-0 per cent), ‘Finance and Real Estate’ (6-5 per cent) ^* - owt tO' Rs.' 702 in 1978-79, growing from Rs. 643 m 1>151 and Rs. 1,036 respectively. In ths abssncj: of S.a'ie Income Est'ma'es for the year 1979-80, an attempt is made to read the trend likely to prevail in income genera^ ion in the o.iffetent sectoi s of the economy. Bovh ^ he South-West and Norih-Eas- Monsoons behaving satisfactorily, the farm sector achieved a record produc ion of foodgrains es imaged at 83-94 lakh tonnes, which was higher than even the previous best level of 1977-7& by 8-31 per cent. The present rate of increase was still higher taking for comparison 1978-79 which in spite of a marginal decline in production had recorded a 12-6 per cent growth in income over the previous year. Therefore, income genera ion in the primary sector (Agriculture being the major consituent) may be cf a high order ranging from 12 to 14 per cent. The in:lustrial front performing inadequa'^ely, income generaion in the secondary sector is likely to this down. The average oFindex for the three years 1977-78 to 1979-80 (Marchenc.ing)) showsthat growth in output had substan ially come down from 15*7 percentin 1978-79 to 3-4 percent in 1979-80. Instrumental to this low-level record in industrial production were the power cuts imposed since March, 1979 and shortages experienced in the flow of basic raw ma*^erials like steel and coal. This year, the secondary sector may not secure more than 5 to 6 per cent growth in income, far removed from the 13-1 per cent registered in 1978-79. Assuming that the ether sectors of the economy, whose influence on overall income generation is limited, perform normally, ^row lhin State Income at constant prices for 1979-80 may prevail around 11 per cent. A g r ic u l t u r e . Viewed against th? State’s Policy objective of reaching self-sufficiency in food production and building-up an export market for rice, the performance of the farm sector during the year 1979- SO was quite encouraging. Easily making good the marginal decline registered in 1978-79, food grains production set a new record. The estimated production of foodgrains at 83-94 lakh tonnes (comprising 62*29 lakh tonnes of rice, 19-05 lakh tonnes of millets and 2-60 lakh tonnes o f pulses) though showed short of the year’s target at 88*73 lakh tonnes, was substantially higher than the previous best level cf 77*50 lakh tonnes achieved in 1977-78. Admitting the fact that production instead of moving forward suffered a slight reduction in 1978-79,it should still be said that experience on the farm front during the last three years had been good by and large. Besides the monsoons being favourable, ths preparedness of the administrative machinery to keep down production losses to the minimum in the event cf excessive tains the “North-East Monsoon brings in every year almos% was also instrumental to the impressive advances made in food production in recent years. The organisational arrangement s that have been made for provision of inputs and extension services towards improving farm technology are also to be given credit for the achieve ment. The year under review witnessed the timely setting of the South-West Monsoon. Initially rains were below normal in many districts and precipitation was ill-distributed causing reduction in the area of important millets (rainfed), groundut, cotton etc. The loss in millets area was made good subsequently. In the final picture that emerged, all the districts except Kanyakumari had received either normal or excessive rains. This was at a time when the major part of Northern In jia faced drought conditions. The early release of water from Mettur this year was for the first time in the last ten years. Overall, the South-West Monsoon was favourable helping to achieve a record Kuruvai crop. The North-East Monsoon also broke in time. As it happens in recent years, excessive rains in November extensively affected standing crops, both food and non-food. Conspicuously, however, there was no cyclone havoc to crops this year. The damange to crops from floods was also kpet within limits thanks to the relief measures under taken by Government. In deficit areas like Coimbatore, Tirunelveli and Ramanathapuram, the copious rains charged reservoirs full, improving the prospects for rabi and summer crops. U1 ima^^ely, it was a well-balanced situa'ionin which foodgrains produc'ion surpassed the past levels. Rice production at 62-29 lakh tonnes was the best on record. Production of millets at 19-05 lakh tonnes was a considerable improvement over the two eairlser levels, although it was in 1976-77 that the highest production at 19*45 lakh tonnes was registered. In pulses, the present output 2-60 lakh tonnes should be read as an improvement relative to the previous best level off 2*19 lakh tonnes. Estimated sugarcane (gur) production at 20*16 lakh tonnes and eo'.ton at 4-69' lakh bales were in excess of the targets set for the year at 19*67 lakh tonnes and 4*40 l^l^h bales respectively. An output of 14-03 lakh tonnes had been registered in oilseeds. In d u s t r y . The General Index of Industrial Production for the year ending Pe;ceinber, 1979) evidences 13 s eep deceleration in the pace cf growth. The average of Index mpved only by 7*7 points to 171*8 in 1979 as against a rise of 21*00 points to 164*1 in 1978. Industrial fo-odiaciiion staged ^lem arkable J'ecoycry in 1978 from I he low -order growih reg's'ered in 1977. The ra^e of erowih S-nii IV F“ speaks cf a raiher unsteady trend. All ihe favourabb taciors such as adequate power supply, easy availablity of bas'c raw materials and larger number of mandays worked present in 1978 were den'ed to the industrial sector m 197J. The serious cf consiramts on production efficiency were the mandays loss and power shortage. Mandays lost at 8-3 milhon for 1979 stands no cc.mparison with the lest recorded m 1978 (2'2 rnslbor^ and 1977 (2-6 million). Power consump:ion by indus'rial un^ts t)£tween the two years 1978-79 and 1979—80 had declined by 7-8 per cent from 4 133 m u to -3,809 m.u. , . . Hopes are well-grounded for the industrial sector to perform better in 1980 The average of Index for the first six months of 1980 (January to June) shows a growth of 3-8 per cent ever the average for the corresponding six momhs cf 1979, the average in absolute terms being 173-2 and 166-7 respecuvely. Further, compaimg the average of index for the twelve months of 1979 (171-8) with the six-month average for 1980 (173-2), a 0-8 per cent growth comes to light. In other wor'<..s, what was possible for the indust rial sector in terms of production during the whole of 1979 was marginally exceeded even by the end of the first half of 1980. Apart form these past trends in industnalproduciion reveal that the rate of output accelerates during the second half of a year rela.ive to the first half. This cannot but be true of 1980 espec’ ally due to the lifiing of power cuts as from July. As to mandays lost, the first quarter of 1980 for which data are avai lable had lost 4-15 lakh mandays which was lower than the 4-70 lakh mandays lost during the corresponding quarter of 1979. Looking at the produCiion index for select industries inthe State (based on weights assigned) the following picture emerges. Leading among industries securing a positive growth are : Manufacture of Electrical Industrial Machinery, Apparatus and Parts (+ 65-1), Manufacture of Bicycles, Cycle Rickshaws and Parts (+59-4), Manufacture o f Prime-movers, Boilers and Steam Generating Plants (+41-8), Industrial Machine y for Food. Textiles an j Industries (+22-6), Manufac ure of Dry and Wet Batteries (+16-8) and Manufacture of Pulp, Paper and Paper Board including Newsprint (-f-12-6). Significant among industries registering a negative growth are : Tyre and Tube Industries (-30-9), Manufacture of Ferdlisers and Pesticides ('—23.8) and Manufacture of Agricultural Machinery (—21-1). P ow er A relatively less comfortable power position characterised the State economy in 1979-80. Total power generation although advancing from 6,607 milhon units in 1978-79 to 7,574 milhon unitsthisyear registered a 15 per cent growth, sttpp:'ii.gdown from 18 percent in 1978-79. The deceleration in thermal generation by 41 milhon units had pulled down the rate of growth. It should be highlighted that the remarkable performance of hydro genera’ ion, securing an addition o f 1,008 million units, almost comparable to the previous best of 1,015 millson units recorded in 1977-78, had in whole contributed to the present step-ijp in overall gcm raion. In maint£iimng power availability, purchases, mainly from the Neyveli Lignite Corporation gjnd Kerala Sta.te, had all along been a factor to be reckoned with. The gross availabiliiy cf power at S,912 million units in 1977-78 and 10,287 million units in 1978-79 regisienc a c’echne o f 33 million unitsto 10,254 million unitsin the review year. This year’s red.LCtion in gross power availability is Qhiefly attributable to the lower level of purchases from all the sources of supply, pardculariiy the relie-f ftcjm Keyal^- The fallin total purchases from 3,680 million units jn 1978-79 to 2,686 miUion unit#in 1979-:80.w£|iS pronounced.

Continuous Pr^ cess Industries. To the Jmdiasttial j this was a ir.ajor constraint on prod.uction. Chances are, however, bright for the power position to improve in 1980—81. The stabili- nation operations going on at Tuticofin, and the expected increase in lignite raising at Neyvell with the modernisation scheme on hand bound to yield results. Monsoons behaving satisfactorily and relief from outside catching up earlier levels are no doubt relevant conside rations. E mploym ent The population of Tamil Nadu at 412 lakhs constituted 7-5 per cent of the country’s population. The working population of the State at 36 per cent will grow to 41 per cent of the projected total population of 476 lakhs by the end of 1980. Live Register data available with the 33 Employment Exchanges in the State show that there had been a sustained increase in the number of job-seekers from 9-37 lakhs in 1977-78 to 9*68 lakhs in 1978-79 and 10-06 lakhs in 1979-80, the addition during the two intervening periods increasing from 3 per cent to 4 per cent. As against this, placements created numbered 25,000 in 1977-78, 40,235 in 1978-79 and 56,816 in 1979- 80, forming 2-7 per cent, 4-2 per cent aud 5-6 per cent of the backlog respectively. The major problem confronting the State in the sphere of Employment is the growing gap between educated job-seekers and employment opportunities made available. The number of educated job-seekers was steady around 4-9 lakhs in the last three years. It is agairsi this background that the Government have come forward to provide monetary relief to jobless graduates during the period of their unemployment. The ‘Food for Work’ Programme under implementation in the State since July, 1979 had benefited 18-11 lakh persons till November, 1979. Rural assets to the total value of Rs. 562-47 lakhs had so far been created under the Programme. From the standpoint of emplo>pient generation in rural areas, great importance is attached to the development of Khadi and Village Industries. A tot al of 8 lakh persons were employed in these industries during 1979-80. Sericulture which is known to be labour-absoibtive and high-yielcing had been successfully tr ie d in s e le c t areas in th e Slate. Plans are under way to popularise this agro-based industry on an extensive scale. P rice T r e n d s The general price level in the State manifested a steep uptrend during the twelve months ending March, 1980. The average of wh6lesale price index for the year 1979-80 (Base : 1970-71 100^ 1206-3 depicted a sharp rise of 12‘4 per cent over the previous average of 183-6, prevailing much higher than the 2'1 per cent increase notciceable in 1978-79 over 1977-78. The price rise was pronounced in all the three major constituents of the Index—9.8 per cent in ‘ Primary Artides’ 15'0 per cent in ‘ Manufactured Products’ and 20'4 per cent in ‘Fuel, Power, Light and Lubricants ’. The impact of the violent increase in the ‘Fuel’ group on the general price level was less comparatively b e c a u s e of its low weight in the Index. Chiefly responsible, there fore for this year’s push-up in the price level were the manufacturing sector first and the primary sector next which was in spite of the increased levels of agricultural and industrial production. To agriculture, particularly, it was a year of record output in foodgrains. It is more meaningful to view price trends in the national perspective. In the two years nreceding February, 1979, the general price level was relatively stable. The uptrend evidenced risht from March onwards continued relentlessly through out the review year. The; Jn\% 1979 level of wholesale price index at 211-7 meant a 14*6 per cent increase over the pre-budget level. The price rise further accelerated iri the months that followed to reach the .peak of 23)C-2 in March 1980 Comparing the average of wholesale price index for the two years 1979-SO and 1978-79 at 216*9 and 185*9-respectively, a 16-7 pet cent increase is noticeable. This was much ’nexcess'of the rise registered in 1978-79 over the year previous at 5*2 pei cent. The split-up of the Index majorgroup-wise reveals that the price hike had been provoked inlhe naaiii by Manu factured Products morethan Fuel,Power, Light and Lubricants and Primary Ariicks,the extent of increase being 19*7,15 0 and 12*8 per cent respectively. 2 .

Mostly bulldozers are hired out to farmers and others by the Department of Agriculture., The present fleet strength of bulldozers is 149. More than 50 per cent of the bulldozers in the department are of imported, ones. Almost all the imported bulldozers have crossed the pres cribed life period. Besides, the spare parts for the imported bulldozers are not easily available in the market. As these units have become obsolete and uneconimical to maintain, it has been decided to condemn these units and replace them with indigenous make in a phased manner., An amount of Rs. 5 lakhs has been’provided during 1981-82.

In order to provide easy accessibility to the traders ‘and other visitors to the Laboratory frequently, in connection with the analysis of samples, etc., it is absolutely essential to provide departmentally owned buildings. If sufficient provision is allotted to constructing the buildings, the huge amount tliat goes by way of rent on a recurring basis may be obviated and in the long run, there will be savings to Government. The provision of departmental buildings will also be economically advantageous to Government. That apart, the cost of construction is day by day increasing considembly in turn the rent also escalated. If the construction programme is taken up at the earlfest opportunity, further escalation in cost may be obviated. Scheme for T ribal A rea M arket D evelopment.

Budget Es-imale, 1980-81 ...... 55-62 Revised Estimate, 1980-81 ...... 60-00 Budget Estimate, 1981-82 ...... 87-05 With a view to have a basinwise systematic and scientific study on “ Ground Water Potential of four sslecied secimentary areas, the U.N.D.P.Ground Water Investigation Project was function- i ng from March 1966to February 1972. The areas studied are : (1) Madras City and its environs. (2) Palar-Alluvial basm. (3) Neyveli Area. (4) Cauvery Delta. Due to the experience gained during the U.N.D.P.Project, it was felt that similar survey' should be conducted in the other areas of Tamil Nadu also. Accordingly the Ground Water branch of Public Works Department started functioning from November 1970. Prior to that: two divisions one at Madras and the other at Tiruchirappalli were functioning and they are' primarily engaged in drilling activities. The present set up of the organisation was established to conduct systematic Ground Water Investigation Survey in the entire area of Tamil Nadu. Till; the end of June 1978, this organisation was engaged in assessment of Ground Water Potential at macrolevel with the Development Block as an unit. The items of work carried out for this Ground Water survey were .— (1) Geological and Geophysical survey. (2) Water level fluctuation study. (3) Field studies on specific yield, seepage, infilteration, elc. (4) Drilling of bore holes and aquifer performance study. (5) Water quality study. (6) Study of elementary water sheds. Based on the well census of December 1975, the ground water assessment was made. Accord ingly, it was found that more than 50 per cent of total 374 blocks were ovei extracted where further schemes could not be implemented. Hence, the pattern of study was re-oriented to* a micro- level study so as to cover all the villages of Tamil Nadu. Under this revised system of working basin wise/sub-basinwise survey was carried out leadingto a villagewise clearance. This'villagewise assessment led to the identification of potential villages or pocWs even within over developed areas. Under villagewise study, the following disciplines are covered. H ydrometeorological St u d ie s . Rainfall is the major contributing factor for Ground Water recharge. The rainfall data from 301 Rainfall sta'ions located in TamilNadu are collected and compiled. With a view to establish the relaionship between rainfall, runoff, evapotranspira!ion and soil moisture accumulatiion studies are being continued in 13 selected water sheds located in different parts,representing dififerent soil types. P hotogeologic Studies. Aerial photographic s ucly is a complimentary tod in Ground Water investigatiom. These studies are being done us’ng the following data products. (1) Aerial photographs. (2) Sa-ellite imageries. y itl the help of the above study the followsng thematic maps are prepared which are aall gu^itg factors to trace areas of Ground Water storage:— (1} Geological and structural map. (2) Geomorphological map and land classificaUon, (3) Land use maps. G eological M a p p in g . The occurrence and properties of Ground Water are largely dependent cn geological set up cof a terrain. Hence for evaluation of Ground Water resources, Geological mapping is being csarried oiit in each and every village. G eophysical Su r v e y. In thi field of Ground Water Inves igation, Geophysical methods are widely employed for etfficient planning and economical test drilling programmes. Geophysical investigation comprises o f sarface and sub-surface prospecting. Surface prospecting is being done in all villages and sub- siurkce prospecting is being done at selected drilled locations. Collection of V illage- wise D ata a n d G r o u n d W ater E xtraction particulars. Village-wise assessment of Ground Water potential requires data like land use particulars, well census details energy consumption particulars for each and every village. Such particulars aire being collected and compiled for computation of Ground Watei potential. D rilling of B ore H oles. Based on the field geological and Geophysical studies, drilling programmes are fixed and exploratory drilling operations are undertaken for the following purposes:— (1) To study the lithologic characteristics. (2) To identify depth of water being formations. (3) Todetermineacquifer characteristics. (4) To study the quality of water. P u m pin g T ests. in ordier to study the hydrologic properties of formation penetrated by exploratory drilling, a tes well is constructed based on studies of lithologic logs, etc. and aquifer performance test is coiducted to evaluate the various hydrologic parameters of the acquifer. W ater L evel F luctuation St u d y . A n'.et work of 1,835 shallow dug wells have been established inthe entire State of TamilNadu and vater level readings are being observed in these wells for seven months (July to January) in a jeair dluringthe first week of each of these months. This study will indicate quantity and periol of irecharge and discharge, direction of Ground Wa-er movement, hydraulic gradient, etc. W ater Q uality St u d y . ¥atier sab les colkcted.from various sources are being tested for their suitability inthe labo- ratorijs ©st:ablished at Madras and Thanjavur. Recently mini laboratories have been establshted in divisions and basic tests are being carried out there itself. V illage w ise A llocation of G r o u n d W ater P otential. Bised (on the data collected and studies undertaken sub-basinwise assessment of Ground Water pa>:eintial is marie and the available Ground Water potential is allocated to each village based on thae hydrologic oonditi-aiss. Recommendations are given for implementaiion of various Minor Iririgjat ion Schemes in potential villages. It is interesting to note that many of the villages which Wfcire: earlier estimated as over exploited were found to have further potential under this miciolev^eljstTudy. W ater I nstitute, M a d r a s, The institute for water studies was set up on 30th June 1975. The following are the main objectives of the institute. (1) Assessment of water potential, (2) Evaluation of the water needs—Present and the future. (3) Preparation of Master Plan for Water. (4) Formulation of Water Policy and water law. (5) Identification of methcds of augmenting and conserving the water resources. (6) Research,development and training programme. (7) Publication of Water Bulle-ins. A preliminary assessment of rainfall surface water run-off. Ground Water infiltration evaporation losses and evapotranspirations losses was made for the following basins in our State based on 50years rainfall records of 258 stations in the State:— (1) Madras basin. (2) Palar basin. (3) Tondiar basin. (4) Ponniar basin. (5) Vellar basin. (6) Cauvery basin. (7) Agniar basin. (8) Pambar basin. (9) Kottakkaraiyar basin. (10) Yaigai basin. (11) Gundar basin. (12) \aippar basin. (13) Taticorin basin. (14) Tambiraparani basin. (15)Nanguneri basin. (16) Kumari basin. Followingfurther studies are in progressinthe basins to arrive at the finer evaluation:— (1) Fixingthebasinarea based onthe aerial photographs. (2) Working cut the run off based of the Gecmorphological features of the basins to be evaluated fromthe Satellite imagery and aerial photo interpretation. (3) Assessing the Ground Water out flow into surface steams for different basins as such o u tflo w s are estimated tobe25to 125 mm. per annum in high plains. (4) The evaluation of average rainfall for the basins based on vaiious methods such as Arithmetic mean, Theisson Polygon method, isohyetal method, etc. and arriving at the best approach. C o n jun ct ive u se of surface a n d G r o u n d W a t er. Under this programme, the following aspects will be studied for integrated use of ground and surface water:— (1) Conservation of water in the irrigation use through better utilisation of water supplies from schemes and reservoirs. (2) Improvement of irrigation canals. (3) Control of unwanted water consuming flora. (4) Fastering of water conservation habits in Agriculture and integrated management of surface and Ground Water systems.

A REA D EV ELO PM EN T D rought P rone Areas P rogramme Drought Prone Areas Programme is a Centrally-Spc nsored Scheme. The expenditure on th'‘s programme is to be shared by the Central an . State Government on 50 : 50 basis. The nrosramme is being implemented in Ramanathapuram and Dharmapuri districts m this State The object of the programme is to develop the chronically drought affected areas of these’districts and mitigate the impact of the drought conditions on the people of these districts especially the weaker sections by undertaking various development schemes under the follow ing sectors :— (1) Soil Conservation. (2) Dryland Farming (3) Agriculture (4) Horticulture (5) Irrigation (6) Animal Husbandry (7) Sheep Development (8) Dairy Development (9) Afforestation and Pasture Development (10) Sericulture (11) Uplifting of weaker sections (12) Fisheries (13) Strengthening of Co-operatives. The above programmes aim at tapping and improving the local resources towards production and providins employment opportunities to the weaker sections of the society in the two Drought prone Areas Programme districts. Thp Government of Ind'^a approved an aWocalion of Rs. 15,60-25 lakhs for the Drought Proaramme in the two districts of Ramanathapuram and Dharmapuri during o^od This includes an allocation of Rs. 1,75-00 lakhs for the establishment of r Powder ‘ Plant at Krishnagiri in Dharmapuri district which is under Th“ expenditure incurred during the Fsfth Plan is of the order of execauuu. - 1979-80, and for the subsequent years the Government of ^dica'-d ^hat the tentative allocation for this Sra^e would be of the order of Rs. 7,20-00 llfht vear The expenditure incurred during 1979-80 in both the districts is, order of Rs 4,95-55 lakhs including the Milk Powder Plant. During the year 1980-8! l a v of Rs 6 00-00 lakhs has been provided. The provision mads for Budget Istim a'ef 1981-82 is Rs. 7,20-00 lakhs. ITnrt^r the abova program m e', Small Farmers/Marginal Fanners are identified and loan !,«\'^ncnsb»lng arranged through ins itu'ional finance wherever necss^ry and Oovetnment sute^V “is given to them. Agricultural labourers are also helpjd under this programme. Al-hmlsh individual beneficiary approach is contempla'ed under the Drought Prone Areas P ro g rS e, the chief aim of the programme is area development for which major por.ion of the outlay is sp^nt. Tn addition to the normal programme, a schema for the formation of a reservoir across the riv^r Pambar in Marampatti village of Uihangarai taluk in Dharmapuri district was sanctioned under Drought Prone Areas Programme in October 1976. The es imaged cosi is Rs. 2,48-00 lakhs and it is under execution. I ntegrated R u ral D evelopment P rogramme Ik^gra^ed Ruxal Development Programme was introduced by the Government of India in selected blocks from April 1978 onwards. The main objic .ive of programme is to provide fall employment and a better s-andard of living to the w aker s2c:ions of the society, consis;ing of small and nmgiiial farmtrs, agn- iu ^d ral labjjrers, rural arisans and persons belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled throu#t prcduc:ive jit-ogtammjs withm a definite time irame.^ ^ ^ ^ 4 ^ ■ > I ) S i ■ % K The Government of India have issued guidelines for the implementation of the programme. According lo the guidelines, maximum emphasis under the new programme will be on individual beneficiary schemes. The mode of assistance to be extended to the individual beneficiary will be more or less on the pattern of assistance contemplated under the Small Farmers Develop ment Agency and the Drought P;one Area Programme. The guidelines suggesc how the assistance is to be given for the implementation of the following programmes Ind,ividual Minor Irrigation Works. Community Irrigation Works including Drainage. Failed Well subsidy. Inputs. Agricultural Demonstrs^ ions. Implements. Storage Bins. Soil Conservation/Land Development. Soil reclamation and improvement. Distribution of Milch Animals. Special Schemes for Cross-bred heifer and other Livestock production programme. Distribution of other animals like Sheep, Goats, Pigs, Poultry, Ducks, etc. Plough Bullocks/Bullock-Carts. Horticulture. Fisheries. Custom Service. Sericulture. Farm Forestry. Bee-Keeping Infrastructure Development like Soil Conservation, Nurseries, Artificial Inseminadon ___ CW\l\mg/'Collection Cetitres, Transport Vehicles, Training, etc. Support to Credit Institutions like interest-free share capital loans, managerial subsidy, etc. As p3r the guidelines, a major portion of the allotment has to be spent on subsidy. Under the programme, small farmers will get a subsidy of 25 per cent while the marginal farmers a subsidy of 33^ psr cent. On an average, both the farmers will get subsidy at 20 per cent of the cost of each scheme. Initially the Government of Ind.ia allotted to this State 161 blocks under the programme. Out of these, 100 blocks were selected, from the Small Farmers Development Agency areas, 30 blocks from the Drought Prone Area Programme areas and 31 blocks from the Non-Small Farmers Development Agency areas, i.e. blocks where no special programmes like S.F.D.A., D P A P- etc., are implemented. During 1979-80 and 1980-81, the Government of India allotted 26 and 25 blocks respectively for the implementation of the programme in Non-Small Farmers Development Agency blocks. The Project Officers, Small Farmers Development Agency/D.P.A-P- in the districts and their staff are responsible for the implementation of the Programme.

FISHERIES. Tamil Nadu is blessed with abundant natural resources for the development of Marine and Inland Fisheries. The State Fisheries Department has been implementing varioi.s development programmes under the successive five year plans for increasing the fish production to provide protein rich food for the people, employment and living for fishermen, several fish based indus tries for entrepreneurs revenue to the State by export etc. Improving the socio-economic condi tions of the ^her population is also an important programme of the department. As a result fish production in the State has been stepped up from about 82,000 tonnes in.the year 1952 to 3,77,000 tonnes at the end of 1979-80 and the export from the State touched Rs. 50 crores in 1979. The State Fisheries Department has drawn up various development programmes for implementation in the State during the Annual Plan 1981-82.

Japan has achieved a distinction in mass production of culture pearls. Our Scientists in colloboration with the Scientists of Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, have succeeded in applying the tech nique of producing culture pearls in our State. Therefore, it is proposed to set up a pilot project at Tuticorin to take up production of culture pearls on a semi-commercial scale. For this purpose, a sum of Rs. 4-77 lakhs has been proposed to be included the Annual Plan for 1981-82.

But, the present production level is of the ordei of 60 millions comprising of 40 millions collected from natural rivering sources, and the balance 20 millions produced by the induced spaning method. In as much as there is no possibility of stepping up fish seed production from natural collection centres, the only alternative left with the Department is to raise the fish seed production by the application of induced spawning method. Realising the urgent necessity of stepping up the production of fish seeds, and also taking into account the constraints in resources, it has been proposed to achieve the object of realising the target of 350 million fingerlings in 3 phases. In each phase about 30 hectares of nursery space and related facilities would be developed to produce an additional quantity of 100 million fingerlings at an outlay of Rs. 110 lakhs. The fiist phase of the programme has been taken for implementation at 10 centres in the State in 1980-81. As a continuation of this programme in 1981-82, additional fish farms, induced carp spawning centres and nurseries would be developed at the following centres : Fish Farms. New Induced Spawning Nurseries expansion. Centres. Tiruchirappalli (Court Buildings) .. .. Gadana Metturdam...... Chetput Bhavanisagar. Chittardam .. •. •» • • • • Krishnagiri.

The State Government have therefore been implementing a programme for installing guide lights in all fishing villages where the fishermen encounter difficulties to reach the shore during night time. Also during night fishing, these lights, enable the fishermen to identify their village from the sea to set their course and reach safely and quickly. Under the programme guide lights are being installed at 8 centres in the State and it is proposed to install such lights in some more fishing villages in 1981-82.

This will help to establish the bottom stock,, particularly the prawn stock. This will also help to defuse clashes among the mechanised and country craft fishermen, as both of them are now concentrating their attention in exploiting prawn fisheries along the Coastline. With a view to induce the fishermen to diversify their fishing operations the Government have sanctioned a sum of Rs. 3 lakhs in 1979-80 and a further sum of Rs. 2 lakhs in 1980-81 for the grant of subsidy to the fishermen for purchase of nets and tackles which would be utilised for fishing other than bottom trawling. But the scheme has not found enthusiasm among the fishermen. As indiscriminate harvesting of the bottom stock along the shore line by trawling method will in course of time give rise to the depletion of the prawn stock, it is necessary and urgent to educate the fishermen to go in for diversified fishing operations by demonstrating to them the advantage of diversified fishing in distant waters. This demonstration of diversified fishing is proposed to be conducted with 2 Nos. of 30' boats from suitable centres. For this purpose sum of Rs. 1-66 lakhs has been included in the Annual Plan for 1981-82. I n f r a -St r u c t u r a l F acilities.

Though this programme has been deleted from the list of Centrally-sponsored Scheme, thereby entrusting the scheme to the States to meet the entire cost of the programme, considering its importance and the benefit that will accrue to the fishermen in general, it is proposed to continue this programme during the Sixth Five-Year Plan. In 1981-82, infrastructural facilities are proposed to be developed at Tondi village in Ramanathapuram District and for this purpose as well as for the continuing progiamme at Valinokkam and Pa2hayar a sum of Rs. 28-36 lakhs has been included in the Annual Plan, 1981-82.

Hither to not much attention has been paid to improve the lot of the traditional craft operators. 14 Attention has been concentrated on introduction of mechanised fishing boats for the fishermen on hire purcha:se basis with a view to enable the fishermen to take to modern methods of fishing with mechanised boats. Inspite a large investment over the Five-Year Plans, only 2,200 fishing boats could be supplied to the fishermen under this scheme with the lesult only about 10,000 fishermen are benefited. A major percentage of the active fishermen aie still operating only trad’tional crafts. As is well known the efficiency of the traditional boats is limited due to various factors. These fishermen have not b;en adequately assisted to improve their efficiency or status due to constraints of modernisation by mechanised boats. It is therefore necessary to extend assistance to these traditional craft operators to improve their operational efficiency and also their earning. This could be done by providing motorised power to catamarans and by introducing fibre glass boats which are becoming popular in replacement of dratitional crafts. However, considering the large number of traditional crafts in operation, it will neither be possible to meachanise all these crafts or to replace them with fibre glass boats immediatelv. Traditional crafts may have to co-exist with the mechanised crafts for some decades to come. However the State Working Group on Fisheries for the Sixth Five-Year Plan has recommended the gradual mechanisation of the country crafts and their replacement by the fibre alass bo?.ts. In line with this recommendation, it is proposed to purchase and distribute 100 out-board engines for installation in cartamarans and 100 numbers of 18' fibre gk.ss boats fitted with out-board motors during the Annual Plan, 1981-82. The out-board motors and the fibre glass boats will be distributed with a subsidy of 20 per cent and the balance 80 per cent cost is nroposed to be treated as Ibati and recovered in easy instalments over a period of five years.

From 1979-80 onwards, the Government of India have revised the pattern of assistance according to which maximum central assistance admissible for this scheme is reduced to 50 per cent on admissible items" of work. Considering the growing number of mechanised crafts in Tamil Nadu, the landing, facilities already developed in the State are found to be inadequate. Therefore, the State Government have agreed to continue this programme availing of 50 per cent assistance from the Central Government. Plans and Estimates have been prepared and got scrutinised by the Director, Pre-Investment Survey, Bangalore for the establishment of a major fishing harbour at Chinnamuttom in Kanya kumari District and for a minor harbour at Valinokkam in Ramanathapuram District. In addition, the Director, Pre-Investment Survey, Bangalore has conducted site investigations at Pazhayar Village in Thanjavur District for providing a landing facility there also. Detailed Project report for this landing facility is awaited from the Director, Pre-Investment Survey, Banga lore. The plans and estimates for Chinnamuttom and Valinokkam Fishing Harbours are already under consideration of the Government of India and their administrative sanction for executing these works are awaited from them. The works on these 3 landing facilities are proposed to be taken up for execution in 1981-82. The funds required for this purpose would be provided at the appropriate time. The work on the establishment of landing facilities at Kodikkarai and Mallipattinam in Thanjavur District is nearing completion. These two landing facilities are likely to be commis sioned early in 1981-82.

The object of the Scheme is to improve the sandal wealth o f the State by extending Sandal Plantations and encouraging natural sandal by intensive cultural operations. Sandalwood earns a sizable revenue to the State. It grows naturally in the forests of Coimbatore, Nilgiris, Dharmapuri, Salem and North Arcot Districts. With the spread of Spike disease the stock Of natural Sandal is gradually dwindling. Hence it is necessary to improve the stocking of sandal by resorting to artificial regeneration so that the yield of sandal wood may be maintained without declination.

Employment will not however be provided to the beneficiaries under Special Schemes such as Small Farmer’s Development Agency, Drought Prone Area Development Scheme, etc. Those who are desirous of having employment opportu nities may register their names with the Panchayat Union Commissioner or with the Rural Welfare Officers. The Panchayat Union Commissioners and Rural Welfare Officers will take all steps to give employment under this scheme. A separate register will be kept for this purpose. Employ ment will be provided to all those who have registered within 30 days from the date of their Regis tration. For implementing the works taken under this scheme, required food will be supplied by Government or Government Agencies or Panchayat Unions. Employment will be provided within this district. Efforts will be taken to provide employment in the nearby villages as far as possible. Wages will be paid with reference to work, 75 per cent of the wages will be paid in the form of rice. iThe following productive works will be taken up under this programme. (1) Formation of roads. (2) Repairs to roads. (3) Desilting of tanks. (4) Formation of tariks aifd canals. (5) Repairs to irrigation canals. (6) Afforestation. (7) Soil Conservation. (8) Rural Housing Scheme including Harijan Housing Scheme. If employment could not be given for any person within 30 days from the date of his regis tration, rice to the value of Re. 1 per day will be given to him till he gets his employment. The, works taken up under the programme will have 75 per cent wage component and the remaining 25 per cent will have material component. Tools like sick axes, crow bars, etc., will not bet included in the material component. Froin this scheme, it is expected to give employment to 22‘20 lakhs of rural adults and 6-65 crores mandays generated for each of the year 1980-81 and 1981-82. The rural population of Tamil Nadu is 321 lakhs as per 1971 census. The annual increase in population is estimated to be 2 per cent. Hence the projected population will be 385 lakhs 40 W cent of this population is likely to constitute below 14 years age group, i.e.; 154 lakhs. Out of the remaining 2,31 lakhs 60 per cent is likely to constitute labour force, i.e., 1,38 lakhs. Out of this 1,38 lakhs about 40 per cent is expected to be unemployed and under employed^ i e 55 lakhs. Hence steps will have to be taken to provide employment opportunities to this vast labour force to raise them above poverty line. During 1979-80 under employment guarantee scheme 3-35 lakhs people registered their names for employment and about 15 per cent have with draw i registration si 'ce they were not willing to do manual work. The food for work programme launche d by Government of India will be taken advantage of for implementing employment guarantee scheme. The annual allocation is likely to be in ttie order of 1 lakh tonnes of rice per year. O '.e of the criteria for utlising rice by the Government of, India is that the rice should be spent for labour co.nponent in respect of plan and non-plan scheme o f S t a t e Government as an additional outlay. Hence while taking up various categories of works of durable nature, material component requires to be provided sufficiently. Hence a sum of Rs 10 crores psr annum may be required for rural employment programme for each year. At present a ratio of 25 : 75 is adopted for material and labour components. Apart from rice alloca tion received from the Government of India, Panchayat Unions are contributing towards cash component and material component wherever surplus general funds are available. If Rs 10 crores per annum is utilis d as material component the value of work done may amount to Rs 40 crores. At present wages are being paid on the out-turn of work as per schedule of rates. A man mazdoor is likely to earn Rs 7*50 per day and a woman mazdoor Rs. 4-50 per day. If a rate of R s . 6 a s a n average Is applied in a year, 6*66 crores of man days of labour can be generated in the planned non-plan schemes. If work is provided to under employed during off seasons 22-2 lakhs people can be provided employment. At an average in a block, 5,910 P e r so n s can be employed for a psriod of 30 days or 2,955 persons can be employed for 60 days. To implement this scheme the local bodies are expected to contribute about Rs- 15 crores per annum as their contribution. (2) W hole V illage D evelopment P rogramme. (r s. in l a k h s.)

The scheme has helped in lifting 686 house holds as against 1,102 households above the poverty line with a coverage of 62 per cent. It is proposed to take up 15 such projects, at one project per district with 3 years’ duration and an outlay of Rs. 40,00 lakhs per project for the Sixth Plan.

The Government cf India indicated the broad outlines on which the scheme could be taken up. But however they have given a green signal to the Panchayat Raj Institutions to participate in the programme both for creation of capital works as well as stabilising and consohdating the existing works by maintaining them and improving them on proper lines. Care has been taken to see that the schemes that are proposed and executed are of such type that it will create durable assets to the community, apart from stabilising the existing assets by directly involving the labour force in the programme, eUminating the niiddle-man like contractors, etc. The foodgrains issued is free of cost, but it brings in our additionality of expenditure, i.e., it supplements the State, Panchayat and Panchayat Union budget and replaces in terms c-f money value calculated at Rs. 115 per metric tonne of coarse rice and Rs. 135 per metric tonne of medium rice.

The Co-operative movement in Tamil Nadu continues to serve the people, particularly those belonging to the weaker sections, in their diverse economic activities, especially in the field of supply of agricultural credit and inputs, marketing of agricultural prc^uce and distribution of essential consumer goods. I. C redit C o-operatives There are 4,742 agricultural service co-operative societies at the village level, providing short term and medium term credit facilities to the agriculturists. These societies have covered 77 per cent of the agricultural families in the State, in terms of their operational holdings. Special attention is paid for meeting the needs of the weaker sections. The co-opera<^ive societies havc; covered 74 per csnt of the agricultural families of weaker sections in terms of theii operational holdings. The agricultural service co-operative societies have provided short-term and medium term loans to the tune of Rs. 42-70 crores during 1979-80. During the current year upto 30th September, loans to the tune of Rs, 11-47 crores have been issued. The fall in the lendings by these societies is due to the, steep rise in the member’s overdues, on account of extraneous factors. Their overdues as on 30th September 1980 stood at 96-9 per cent of the demand. Anticipating improvement in the recovery position, it is programmed to issue short-term and medium term loans to the tune of Rs. 65 crores during t ^ current year and Rs. 130 crores during 1981-82. More than 48 per cent of the total short-term and medium term loans issued during the current year went to the weaker sections. It is programmed to increase this quantum to 52 per cent in the case of short-term loans and 62 per cent in the case of medium term loans at the end of 1981-82. The long term credit needs of the agriculturists are met by 223 primary land development banks. These banks have issued loans to the tune of Rs. 8-85 crores during 1979-80 and Rs. 3-29 crores up to 30lh September during the current year. The overdues of these banks as on 30th September, 80 were 98-8 per cent of the demand. With the hope that there will be improvement in the recovery position, it is programmed to issue long term loans to the tune of Rs. 8 crores dsiriag ths current year and Rs. 15 crores during 1981-82. The weaker seciions will get 20 per cent of the loans issued under the normal programme and 60 per cent of the loans issued under the Agricultural Refinance Development Corporation assisted schemes. During 1979-80, the credit co-operatives have provided loans on the pledge of jewels to the tune of Rs. 11-42 crores through 1,581 units spread over the entire State mostly in rural areas. The number of beneficiaries basing 9-81 lakhs. The jewel loans issued during the current year upto 30th September are to the tune of Rs. 58-21 crores.

The Parambiktlam-Aliyar Project is a major multipurpose and mul'i-valley prcject which contemplates utilisation of water and power resources of the Inter-state rivers in the Anaimala range of the Western Ghats of India for the benefit of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The Project envisages irrigation facilities \o about 97,200 ha. (2,40,000 acres) in the dry and arid region of •Coimbatore and Periyar Disuicts of Tamil Kadu in addition to stabilising and augmenting the requirements ofexistingirrigationfor about 12,140 ha. (30,000 acres) in Tamil Nadu and Kerala and also production of 185 MW. of power. The ayacut under the prcject is mainly irricated dry • Wet cultivation being confined to the low lying and seepage affected pockets to a ma'ximum of 20 per cent of the total ayacut. The project contemplates integraiit v cf eight rivers, six on the Anaimalai Hills and Hvo in the Plains by Dam and diversion works and inter connecting them through tunnels. These rivers lie at various elevaHons ranging, between plus 3,800 fi. and plus 1.050 ft. which incidentally enable the utilisation of the drops between the rivers to devc lop hyxlro power. The estimated cost of the project is Rs. 85,75-50 lakhs. The project is a fine example of Inter-State Co-operation for the development of common water resources for mutual benefits The inter-state agreement with the Government of Kerala was concluded in May 1970 The project has been completed in all respects except for the following minor works which are in advanced stage of completion as indicated below : In the Lower Nirar Dam, only the top portion of the masonry remained to be completed Tlie progress made to end of July 1980 is as follows Serial Details o f work.

Most of the channels are not having head sluices, resulting in uncontrolled, flow. This scheme provides for the construciion of two re Emulators one near ^irahanur in Madurai Disirici (about 6 Km. below Madurai) and another near Parthibanur in Ramanathapuram District (about 54 Km. below Mac’ ura^') and excavation of canals below them Length of the canal from Parthibanur are 45 Km. on the U-ft and 43 Km. on the right. Length ofthecanalfrom Virahanur are 30 km. on the left and 47 Km. on the right. This scheme - b e n e fits 432 tanks. The latest cs‘ima td cost of the scheme is Rs. 11,10 lakhs. D u rin g th e heavy floods in November 1977there were breachesin the Canal below \ ’irahanur Regulator. All breaches were closed except the reaches from 9-54 Km. to 11-92 Km. and from 39 Km. to 42 Km. It was found that it would be better to realign I he canal of the above reaches shifting its original ah gnment running close to the river, thus making it .^fe against futuie floods. The re^i gnm ent of reach from 39 Km. to 42 Km. is completed. The reali gnment of reach 9‘54 to 11-92 Km. will be taken up after the land acquisition is ever. Again there was heavy floods i n.

Works under Gridhamal link canal and 45 per cent of excavation and 14 Nos. of C.M. works under Paralayar link canal. The work is executed by the Yaigai M^-dernisalion division at Madurai. (ii) Diversion o f Blood waters o f Konaiyar River.—The Konaiyar flood is a potential danger to the Trichy Town. During 1977, the Konaiyar floods could not be safely passed through the Puthur weir and the flood passed through the Uyyacondan channel and caused damage to Tiichy Town. So it is proposed to divert a portion of flood flows (i.e. 5000 c/s.) of Konaiyar to other jungle streams which lie below Trichy town. By implementing this scheme, 117 tanks having a registered ayacut of 9,000 acres will be b en efited in Pudukkottai and Trichy districts. Government have approved the proposal of t a k i n g u p th e scheme for detailed investigation. Detailed investigation and preparation of project report is in progress. The outlay proposed forthe scheme for the year 1981-82 is Rs. 49-88 lakhs. I mprovements to N orth B uckingham C anal B eyond M. 10/1 u p to A n d h r \ State Bo rder.

Area Development Scheme. To give a powerful thrust to the dispersal of mdustfies in backward areas, the financial incen- «ives should be supplemented by a programme for converting backward areas into developing areas. SIPCOT has, therefore, worked out the most appropriate strategy for the development of backward areas. The essential features of this strategy are selection of growth centres which have potential for development, provision of all infrastructural facilities in these centres and promo ting project s to ensure that the growth centres attain the stage of self-sustaining growth in the shortest possible time. The cost of the developed plots are recovered in easy instalments. During the year 1980-81 and 1981-82 the SIPCOT has programmed to develop new comi> lexes in Manamadurai, Pudukkottai, Tuticorin, Madurai and Neyvelii. In addition to this, it is programmed to expand the existing complexes at Ranipet and Hosur. One more complex near Madras City has also been explored exclusively for the establishment of pharmaceutical formu lation. Ranipet Complex.—The civil Works at Ranipet have already been completed except for small works like filters at the head works, provision of amenities, etc. 1,400 acres are proposed to be acquired for the BHEL Company to sit up a Boiler A.uxiliary Plant and another 350 acres are to be acquired for the SIPCOT for allotment to Ancillary Units. The direct employment potential already created in this complex is for about 2,000 persons. It is anticipated that it will create employment for additional 8,000 persons including the BHEL Company, when the entire area gets allotted to industries and all units work to their full capacity. 73 per cent of the developed plots have already been allotted. The estimated cost for 1980-81 is Rs. 60*00 lakhs and Rs. 50-00 lakhs for 1981-82. Hosur Complex.—More than 50 per cent of the civil works and water-supply scheme (ground wa'^er) has been o mpleted. Another 500 to 600 acres of land have been proposed to be acqui? ed for the S3Cond stage. The estimated cost of land and works for stage, I and II works out to Rs. 62-50 lakhs for 1980-81 and Rs. 57-50 for 1981-82. Other Growth —Details of area of land proposed to be acquired and developed and the estimated cost of land and works are as follov^s : Serial number and complex. Land.

The Govc’ nment of India have accorded recognition to the SIPCOT from 1st September 1976 as the second institution in the State eligible fo^e finance assistance for the IDBI.Now the Coope ration sanctions term loans at concessional ra-e of in:erest and longe- period of repay ment to medium and major industries inthe Sta-e. The ra’e ofin^e/est is 10-25 percent ijrJts locaS‘.d in backward areas and 13-5 per cent for units in non-backward areas. About 80 per cent o f 'h e loan s will be disbursed to the units in the backward areas. Inm ost cases the recovery of loan is effected in instalment s spread over a period of 6 years after a moratorium period of 2 years. With the refinance facilities available from the IDBI, the SIPCOT has provided a sum of Rs. 7,00*00 lakhs for 1980-81 and Rs. 1,200-001 lakhs for 1981-82 towards disbursement tf term leans. The term loans will be distributed to about 50 industries during 1980-81 and to b=5 industries during 1981-82 and these financial operations are expected to provide additional direct employ ment for about 15,000 persons, 3. I nterest F re Sales T ax L o an. The most important part of the package scheme of incentives is the Interest Free Sales Tax Loan whi ch SIPCOT i mplements as t he agents of the St ate Gove rnm ert. These loans are avai lable to medium and major industries to be located in any of the following backward districts of the State : (a) Dharmapuri. ib) Kanyakumari, (c) Madurai. {d) North Arcot, (e) Ramanathapuram. (/) South Arcot. (g-) Thanjavur, (/i) TiruchirappalU» and (0 Pudukkottai. Industrial units set up in Maraimalai Nagar one of the satellite town developed by the Madras Metropolitan Development Authority in Chingleput district are also eligible for Interest-Free Sales Tax Loan. All industries except the textile, sugar cement, mineral and mining and distillery industries are eligible for the loans. The scheme has two parls. Pari I and II. Part I is applicable to expansion or diversification of exis jng industries and Parc II is applicable to new industries. Under Part I the industrial units in the backward districts will be eligible for Interest Free Sales Tax Loan equivalent to the Saks Tax paid by the existing industries for a period of 3 years subject to a maximum of 25 per cen't of :he finsd'assets created for the proposed unit or Rs. 15-00 lakhs whichever is less. This loan iS repayable in 3 equal annual instalments after the expiry of six years from 1st April 1978 from the date of disbursement. Under Part II new units to be set up in the backward district Will hi el gibla for Interest Free Sales Tax Loan equivalent to the Sales Tax paid by them during that year subject to a maximum of 8 per cent of the gross fixed assets of the unit. This loan is repayable in three equal annual instalments after the expiry of 9 years from 1st April 1978 from the date o f disbursement. The loans will be disbursed to 55 units in 1980-81 and 65 units in 1981-82. The financial assisiance are anticipated to provide employment potential for nearly 5,000 persons. 4. 15 per cent C entral O utright G rant or Subsidy Scheme. The Corporation implements Central Outright Grant or Subsiay Scheme for medium and major units in any of the 32 Backward taluks in Dharmapuri, Madurai, North Arcot, Ramanatha- puram and Pudukkottai districts in the State. Under this scheme new indusirial units as will as expansion of the existing units will be given an outright Grant or Subsidy equivalent to 15 per cent fixsd capital investment. The iotal amount of subsidy in each case is subject to a maximum of Rs Ts-OO lakhs. It is expected that the ind ustries will be availing of Rs. 3,00-00 lakhs each year for 1980-81 and 1981-82. The Government of India is providing full financial assistance under the scheme direct to SIPCOT. 40 units during 1980-81 and 45 units during 1981-82 will receive the subsidy amounts and it is anticipated that the financial assistance will crcate additional employ ment potential for about 3,000 persons. The State Govcramcni,’s conlribuJcn to SIPCOT during 1980-81 and 1981-82 by way of share capital and loan shall be as follows : (r u pees in lakhs) Revised Estimate, 1980-81 ...... 3,00 Budget Estimate, 1981-82 ...... 4,00 T am il N adu C eramics L im ited. Tacel’s Annual Plan for the year 1981-82 is drawn up to cater to the following needs :— Kiln reconstruction and IS'" pipe manufacture in Tacel Pipe Factory, Vridhachalam.—This scheme for making 18” pipes and reconstruction of 2 kilns has been approved by Government with Rs. 2-25 lakhs met by an equity release and Rs. 2-25 lakhs as Government loan. The outlay in 1980-81 will be Rs. 4-5 lakhs, with Rs. 4 lakhs going for repairs to 2 kihis and Rs. 0-5 lakhs for development of 18” pipes. This will be completed in 1980—81. Since the factory has eight kilns of various ages and tv/o kilns will be reconstructed in 1980-81, it is proposed to reconstruct the other six kilns in a phased manner at the rate of 2 kilns per year in 1981-82, 1982-83, 1983-84 with a corresponding outlay of Rs. 4 lakhs, Rs. 4'6 lakhs, Rs. 5-4 lakhs each year. Scheme for HT Insulator manufacture. —This is one of the plan schemes already approved by Government for implementation in 1980-81. H.T. Insulators are in great demand in the country and ail infrastructural facilities are available at Vridhachalam at the Tacel Service Centre. The new tunnel Kiln has also spare capacity to accommodate about 1£ tonnes of H.T. insulator per day. To begin with, 11 KV pin insulators are proposed to be manufactured at the rate of 1 tonne per day. To train Rural Entrepreneurs in the manufacture of Whiteware P ro d u cts. TACEL had undertaken a survey of the conditions of the rural potters and the potters enclaves all over the State of Tamil Nadu and the survey is hkely to be completed shortly. Pending the assessment of the needs in the rural set up and providing common service facilities as found appro priate, it is considered desirable that TACEL may initiate a scheme for training rural potter boys in the manufacture of L.T. Pin Insulators, L.T. Shackle Insulators, L.T. Guy Insulators and Stone ware containers. This v/ould result in the application of the traditional skill possessed by the potters in the manufacture of red clay articles for taking up simple whitev/are items which are in demand. The scheme contemplates having two training-bases—one at the Service Centre, Vridhachalam and the other at Ceramic Centre, Omalur. The training will be mainly work practice oriented to develop practical skills. The imparting of training will be in an already running and manufacturing atmosphere and the persons trained by the staff and skilled workers already engaged in the regular production of such wares. The total expenditure involved for implementing both the above training schemes at Omalur and Vridhachalam will amount to Rs. 1,00,000 in 1980—81. The training schemes will enable the potter boys acquire skills in the production of ceramic wares so that they can be eventually self employed. Initially their products can be purchased by TACEL which should ensure to them an income of about Rs. 300 per mensem each. The two schemes will involve a recurring expenditure of Rs. 77,000 per annum and can be continued for 2 years after 1980-81 on Government grant. Service facilities for Rural Potters.—The Government have sanctioned a scheme for conducting a survey of all major potter’s enclaves in the State with a view to evolve suitable schemes for the upliftment of the Rural Potters and their industry. As a result of this survey which is nearing completion, it is found feasible that a few service centre may be started at selected placcs from where facilities may be extended to the rural potters so that they can take up manufacture of more remunerative items in ceramics. The services can be in the shape of improved tools and equipments and also supply of processed body materials required for the deversified items of production. It is proposed to start six pilot units at a first year cost of Rs. 2 lakhs per centre and a recurring annual cost of about Rs. 50,000 per centre. The six units will be started at the rate of two per year in 1981-82, 1982—83, 1983—84. The location of the centres will be decided after the survey is complete. The State Government’s Contribution for 1980-81 and 81-82 is as follows :— (ru p e e s in la k h s .) Revised Es.imate, 1980-81 ...... 16*22 Budget Estimate, 1981-82 ...... 6*77 M a r iy u r —V alinokkam Salt C omplex. The Corporation was entrusted with the responsibility of developing a major salt works in Mariyur Valinokkam, a most backward area in Ramanathapuram District where no other industry could be set up. The esitraated cost of the project is Rs. 1 45 crores. The project was taken up for implementation from the year 1975—76 onwards. The total cost of Rs. 1-45 crcr,.s is to be financed as follows :— (1) Equity share capital Rs. 50-00 lakhs. (2) Loan from T.LLC. and Canara Bank Rs. 40 00 lakhs. (3) Central subsidy ...... Rs. 15-00 lakhs. (4) Borrowings from Government/financial institutions Rs. 40-00 lakhs. Tlie G.VjVnm int hav3 s jfa r releassd a sum of Rs. 50'00 lakhs, a. share capital besides releasing a sum of Rs. 11-00 lakhs as loan towards implementation of the project. The project commenced its production during 1976 and the production achieved is indicated below 1976 550 tonnes. 1977 3,400 „ 1978 6,500 „ 1979 22,660 „ 1980 25,000 (as against targeted production of 40,000 tonnes). The salt complex is expected to achieve the targeted production of 40,000 tonnes during this year. Since the Mariyur Valinokkam Salt Complex is located in a remote corner and the major consuming areas of salt are far away, it has to incur additional transport cost when compared to the manufacturers in and around Tuticorin area, a major salt productioriing centre. In view of this, the sales price realised is low and hence the Corporation is facing difficulties in marketing the salt produced. Full production has not yet been achieved. The Corporation has so far incurred a cumulative loss of Rs. 34-78 lakhs as on 31st December 1979. The salt complex is expected to earn profit from the year 1982 onwards and further improve ments to the project and development activities can be met from internal generations of funds. Hence, a sum of Rs. 15 lakhs is sought for the year 1981—82 alone. The salt complex is already providing seasonal employment to 1,000 persons besides regular employment to about 50 persons. The project when it goes in full stream, will provide regular employment to 200 persons besides seasonal employment to 1,500 persons. M aravakadu V adakadu Salt P r o jec t. The Government have ordered the development of 5,400 acres in Maravakadu and Vadakadu villages of Pattukottai Taluk in Thanjavur district into a salt complex. The area has been surveyed and it was found that 4,092 acres would be available for development as salt works. A detailed proiect report for the implementation of the project has been prepared. As per the detailed project report, the total project cost is Rs. 120 lakhs which is expected to be incurred as indicated below :— (r u pe e s in lakhs) 1979 1-59 1980 8-88 1981 1900 1982 23-72 1983 32-90 1984 25-82 1985 8-09 The project is expected to be completed in all respects by 1985. The total cost of Rs. 120 lakhs is expected to be financed as follows :— (R u pees in lakhs) Share capital from Government ...... 48-00 Term loan from Financial Institutions ...... 60-00 Loan from Government ., ...... 5-00 Internal generation of funds ...... 7 00 The Government have already released a loan of Rs. 5 lakhs and share capital of Rs. 10 lakhs towards the implementation of the project. The Corporation is also financing a study by the Bombay Natural History Society to decide the extent to which salt development could be undertaken without affecting the ecology of the area at a cost of Rs. 1-48 lakhs. The proposed site of the salt complex is very near to railway station and it is expected that the salt produced will find a ready market besides realising a good price. Hence a sum of Rs. 10 lakhs is sought for the year ] 981-82 under equity share capital assistance from the Government for implementing the project. The project has already been taken up for implementation. About 300—400 persons are employed in the bund work. The project when completed will provide regular employment to 100 persons besides seasonal employment to 1,000 persons. T amil N adu Sugarcane F arm C orpora tion, L t d . The Tamil Nadu c f Sugarcane Farm Corporation, Limited, was formed in the year 1974 to undertake cul;iva"ion lands rendered surplus consequent on implementation of the Tamil Nadu Land Reforms (Fixation of Ceiling on Land) Act, 1961 as amended by ihe 1 airal Nada Act 41 of 1971. The Tam'l Nadu Sugarcan2 Farm Corporation Limited, holds about 6,528 acres consisting of about 3,910 acres of own lands and about 2,618 acres of lease lands. The Corporation has been formed with an Authorised Capital of Rs. 2 crores divided into 2 lakhs Equity Shares of Rs. 100 each. Against this, the Government have contributed Rs. 27-5 lakhs so far. The share capital contribution has been utilised for smking of tube-wells and purchase of capital items such as pumping machinery, Uaclors, etc. This Corporation has estimated in the Revised Estimate, 1980-81 an amount of Rs. 1-83 lakhs for its capital exp^^nditure. The details of estimated capital expenditure towards civil works are shown below. C ivil W o rks. (i) Manure Godown.~l\ has been decided to construct 3 Nos. of smaller godown costing Rs. 0-30 lakh each amounting to a total cost cf Rs. 0-90 lakh in 1980-81 and another 3 Nos in 1981-82. (ii) Thrashing ^ o o r s . floors are essential to ensure that there is no graU damage. It has been decided to construct 10 nos. of thrashing floors at cost of Rs. 0-05 lakh each in 1980-81 and another 10 nos. in 1981-82. The outlay proposed from 1980-81 is Rs 0-50 lakh and f.r 1981-82 isO-50 lakh. (iii) Labour Sheds—It has been proposed to construct and provide labour sheds for imoort labourers in 1980-81 and 1981-82 at a cost of Rs. 0-03 lakh each year. (iv) Stajf Quarters—It is essential to have residential facilities for the staff" members at the work spot. Hence, it has been proposed to construct Stas' Quariers in 1980-81 and 1981-82 at a cost of Rs. 0-40 lakh in each year. T he T amil N adu I ndustrial I nvestment C orporation. The Tamil Nadu Industrial Investment Corporation is the principal instrument of the State Government for fostering and financing medium and small scale industries in the Slate. The State Government and the Industrial Development Bank of India are the major share holders in this Corpora'ion, holding 54 per cent and 45 per cent of the shares respectively. To the extent cf 3 times of the paid-up share capital and reserves, refinance is being granted by the Industrial Development Bank of India. The State Government has been contributing share capital to this Corpcration on an annual basis with contributions on the average ranging from Rs. 1 crore to Rs. 2 crores. The IDBI has been matching this capital contribution. So far, the activities of the Tami INadu Industrial Investment Corporation have been rather limited in the sense that the bulk ofits lending was only for bigger clients in the medium sector of the industry and very little was channelled into the small scale sector, especially intc the rural unskilled sector. It is only in the last 2 years thal; increasing emphasis is being placed on taking industries to rural and backward areas. Bulk of the ma’.ch unit s in the Sla,e amounting to 2,000 in number and sericulture units, all quite laboi r intensive to the extent of absorbing 25,000 ^o 30,000 men were funded by the Corporation. Now that the demand in the rural is on the increase, it is proposed to diversify further the type and pattern of industry in lending. It is felt that good scope exists in promoting agricultural processing units, consumer goods units, textiles, etc. in rural areas. It is also feli: that significant dent could be made in the energy sector. The unemployed graduates also have been clamouring for assistance in a big way and it is proposed to enlarge th scope of the Technician-Entrepreneur Scheme. All these would mean sharp several of the present trends, wherein 2/3 rd of the finance have gone to the medium sector and less than l/3rd to the decentralised sector, of which the share of the village sector was just nominal. This would also mean funding second hand machinery in some cases for which refinance would not be forihcoming. Besides, some of the programmes undertaken by this Corporation at the specific instance of the State Government, for which refinance facilities are not available, will have to be continued, such as Rural Medical Praciioners Scheme and the provision of Auto Rickshaws to the Co-opsrative Societies. The present coverage of the small scale units by the Corporation is just a nominal 2 per cent. If this coverage is stepped up to a modest 5 per cent, the level of iransacticns will have to be nearly doubled. At the same lime the traditional sectors depending on Tamil Nadu Industrial Investmtnt Corporaion as the traditional lender of funds, cannot be neglected. Taking note of all these fact?, the Government’s contribution to Tamil Nadu Industrial Investment Corporation by way of share capital shall be Rs. 1 crore during 1981-82. T extiles.

For the current year Govern ment have sanctioned 10 more Small Match Producers Service Industrial Co-operative Societies to serve 1,000 more Small Match Producers. Hitherto the match industry was concentrated only in certain areas of Ramanathapuram and Tirunelveli districts. In order to spread this Industry through Tamil Nadu wherever possible Government have permitted formation of Match Service Societies in order to create more employ ment opportunities. Training Schemes were drawn up and people living in other parts of Tamil Nadu were given training in Match making process and small entrepreneurs are requested to set up match units in their areas. The Small Match Producers Service Industrial Co-operative Societies are formed wHerever possible to help the Small Match Producers. As the Small Match Producers are getting better benefits from the Co-operatives almost all small match producers prefer to join the Co-operatives Societies and avail the best services. The existing Match Service Societies have created employment opportunity to about 1 lakh people. The proposed 5 Small Match Producers Service Industrial Co-operative Societies during 1981-82 will provide additional employment to 10,000 people. Staff assistance at one Industrial Co-operative Officer to each Society and Government share participation of Rs. 25,00D to each society are proposed. 5. Organisation of I ndustrial Co-operative T e a F actories in G udalur area of N ilgiris D istrict.

There are 11 Industrial Co-operative Tea Factories in the Nilgiris engaged in production of made tea from the green tea leaves supplied by the small tea grower member. A Twelfth factory has been registered by name the Salisbury Industrial Co-operative Tea Factory Ltd. All these Industrial Co-operative Tea Factories provide employment to about 36,000 persons and sales turnover exceeds Rs. 7 crores per annum. About 6-000 Small tea growers owning about 12,750 acres have been covered by the existing Industrial Co-operative Tea Factories. These small tea growers get reasonable price for the green tea leaves and are able to improve the quantity and quality of yield in their tea gardens by availing service facilities like supply of fertilisers, spraying of pesticides for ptst control, etc. In Gudalur taluk alone, there are about 3,060 acres of tea gardens owned by the Small Tea Growers. Only one Industrial Co-operative Tea Factory by name the Gudalur Industrial Co* operative Tea Factory Ltd., is located in this area and engaged in tea production. A new Industrial Co-operative Tea Factory Ltd., by name the Salisbury Industrial Co-operative Tea Factory Ltd., (12th factory) has been registered and it is expected to go into production shortly. One Industrial Co-operative Factory can produce made tea out of green tea leaves from the 1000 acres of tea gardens. The existing Industrial Co-operative Tea Factories in Gudalur area can therefore cover 2,000 acres of tea gardens. The working of tea machinery to the extent exceeding its capacity will affect the quality of made tea. There is a genuine need to start one more Industrial Co operative Tea Factory in the same area. The Small tea growers in Eramedu are demanding the setting up of one Industrial Co-operative Tea Factory for them. It is proposed to organise this factory during 1981-82 at a cost of Rs. 6 29 lakhs. 6. Setting up of P ottassium C hlorate F actory. (r u pe e s in lakhs) Budget Estimate, 1980-81 ...... Revised Estimate, 1980-81 ...... Budget Estimate, 1981-82 ...... 5-36 Pottassium Chlorate is the main raw material required for the production of Safety Matches. Production of safety matches in Tamil Nadu was in the order of 7 crores of grosses during 1977-78 and 8 crores of grosses during 1978-79. Based on this the annual production will be in the order of 12 crores of grosses during 1980-81 and 18 crores during 1981-82. The average consumption of Pottassium Chlorate per 100 gross is 7 Kgs. The annual requirements will be 12,600 M, Tonnes. Per month it will be 1,050 M. Tonnes. The existing Pottassium Chlorate manufacturing companies in India are not in a position to supply the entire requirements and shortage of Pottassium Chlorate is always felt. It is therefore proposed to organise one Pottassium Chlorate Factory in Industrial Co-operative Sector during 1981-82 to cater to the needs of member units of match service societies. The capacity of this factory will be 75 M. Tonnes per month. 7.

Budget Estimate, 1981-82 ...... 10-24 The Tamil Nadu State Industrial Co-operative Bank Ltd.. was established in the year 1961 with a view to provide financial assistance to the Industrial Co-operative Societies functioning under the control of this Directorate. The question of its recognition by the Reserve Bank of India is pending for a long time. As a result it is unable to avail financial assistance from the Reserve Bank of India and the refinancing facilities. The Bank has to depend on deposits, share capital and loans from the Government, State Bank of India and other Banks to raise its funds. As on 30th June 1980 the outstanding under loans is Rs. 310 56 lakhs. About 30 new Small Match Producers Ssrvici Industrial Co-operative Societies have been organised in 1979-80. About 30 more such societies are to be organised on approval of the proposal in this regard by the Government. AU these societies are to be financed by the Tamil Nadu State Industrial Co-operative Bank Ltd., besides meeting the increasing credit requirement of already functioning Industrial Co-operative societies. There is a proposal to open branches of this Bank at Sattiir and at Cotnoor. With a view to enable this Bank to meet its increasing need for funds, it has been proposed to request the Government for sanction of a sum of Rs. 50 lakhs during the sixth Five-Year Plan period at the rate of Rs. Ten lakhs every year. 8. Scheme for formation of Sago a nd Starch M anufaciurers I n d u stria l C o -operative Service Society at Salem.

There is no incentive for local culcivators to increase the aci'eages under tapioca because of the uncertainties in the price paid for tapioca by the producers of the starch and sago. If higher price is assured lot tapioca, this will In turn encourage the farmers to increase the acreage under the crop within the State. The formation of an Industrial Co-operative Society for marketing the produce of the manufacturers in Salem will benefit the growers of tapioca by assuring them a steadier price. 9.

We are getting bulk orders from the Forest Department for the supply of various sizes of Polythene bags every year and distributing them to the Societies. The Societies find it very diflScult to execute Forest Department orders in time. Henc? there is scope for organising three more societies during the plan period 1980-81 during 1981-82 at Pandalur and Trichy. The provision has been made for the Government share participation of Rs. 50,000 and sanction cf one post of Industrial Co-operative OfSc=r for each Society. 10.

These bags are mainly used for packing fertilisers, pesticides and chemical products. They may also be used for packing ioodgrains, sugar and vegetables. The requirement of Polythene woven bags for the eight fertilisers units in Tamil Nadu alone is estimated as 365 lakhs bags per annum. Now there are fifteen units engaged in the manufacture of Polythene Woven bags with the production capacity of only 15 lakhs bags per annum. The Polythene Woven sacks Industrial Co-operative Societies have therefore got good scope and will run on profitable line. Hence it is proposed to set up one Society for the manufacture Polythene wovcn bags (10 lakhs bagsper annum) at Kancheepuram during 1981-82. The Society when organised will provide additional employment opportunity for about 1(K) persons. O t h e r V illage I n d u str ies. 1. R ebate on sale of K h a d i.

It is now found that this capacity is not enough as some heavy cargoes are likely to be handled by this Port. At present, the heavy cargo is being refused at the Port for want of crane facility. Moreover one crane is not in a position to cope up with the demand for the crane simultaneously in more than one area. In order to improve the Port facilities, it is considered necessary to procure 3 Cranes of 10 Tonnes capacity. It is proposed to purchase one crane during 1981-82. 5.

The fertilizers landing from ships will have to be moved out of the port area immediately on landing for stacking in private godowns as otherwise thev will have to be stacked in open wharves which will be exposed to weather. In order to remove this^ snag and to provide necessary port facilities, it has been proposed to construct an R.C.C. terraced cargo shed. The work is on progress. 6.

The cargo traffic mainly consists of fertilisers and grains. At times the fertiliser bags are stored in open yards along the wharves when there is shortage of wagons. Since there is no protection to the south and new south wharves, there is free access to these wharves from outside, which has resulted in complaints regarding pilferage of stacked cargoes. In order to stop such’ pil ferages and unauthorised entry into south and new wharves, it was considered very essential to extend the foreshore wall to these wharves. The work is in progress.

In municipal town, new colonies are coming up and with the result the lenethHf roadstobe maintained by the Municipalities isincreasing every year. There are also’larger numhp^ of culverts bridges and sub-ways to be constructed. It is also necessary that a minimum s^anX S of dustless surfaced roads require to be maintained in the Urban Towns. The Municipalities^ finH it very difficult to cops up with the increased need due to their slender finances Hence Government assist the municipalities to some extent in this regard. Government sanc ion f 11 loans to Municipalities for taking up works on Municipal Road.s every year.

In the printed Budget for the year 1980-81,thereisaprovisionof Rs.0-021akhforthe E & T Fourth and Fifth Plan works. The Revised Estimate demand for the above works for 1980-81 is Rs. 3-73 lakhs. The reason for the increase in demand under the Revi sed Estimate for 198ol8l is mainly due to the reason that the work of providing Elecirificaiion to the new Kul«thalai at a cost of Rs. 4-00 lakhs sanc.ioned during October 1979 as a new work is proposed to be put uilder execution]mmediately and completed before the end of the current financial 1980-Sl. year The work of providing road links and improving the existing Roads to connect bridges already conslructed under the E. & I. scheme to M.D.R. Standards, as a first stage programme under improvements to East Coast Road from Madras to Kanyakumari to M.D.R. s+andards, is proposed as a nev^ work for sanctionand execution during 1981-82. In view of the fact that the East Coast Road from Madras to Kanyakumari will form a life line for all the Coastal Dis-ricts affording all weather communicaions, development of fishing industry and upliftment of the backward communities inthe drought prone areasof theStateand alsoto give fillip for the developrhent ofthe Tourist and Pilgrim traffic as well as serving defence needsto some extent, it is ofimmenss need thatthisEast Coast Road is improved atleastto Major District Road standards initially. As it may not be possible to take up this project under a single scheme in one stretch, the work can be considered for inclusion under a “Inter-Sta^e Importance” scheme with relative priorities on certain guidelines. Thirty-eight bridges have been taken up under the Economic and Inter-St a e Importance scheme during the Fourth Plan period in the East Coast Road and these have been completed at a cost of Rs. 4,01*20 lakhs. Even after spending a huge amount on the construction ofthese bridges, the full benefit can be realised only if a Road link is established by improving the Road surface suitably to make it fit for traffic in all seasons. Therefore, considering all the above, as a first stage, the work of providing Road links and improving the existing Roads to connect 38 bridges already constructed, at a cost of Rs. 7-00 crores is proposed as a new work for sanction under iheinter-State Importance Scheme with 100 pet cent loan assistance from Government of India and for execution during 1981-82.

Budget Estimate, 1980-81 ...... 17,00-00 Revised Estimate, 1980-81 ...... 17,00-00 Budget Estimate, 1981-82 ...... 20,00*00 In pursuance of the Government’s policy of Nationalisation of passenger b'us transport, eight Transport Corporations have been set up under “The Companies Act,’’[covering the different regions of the State and they are committed to the social objective of providing cheap and efficient transport services to the public. Of the eight Transport Corporations, one is exclusively operating Express Services throughout the State and another one has two wings, viz., Madras Metropohtan Wing (Urban), and the Madras District Wing (Mofussil). As on 31st March 1980, there are in the State, 11,434 buses of which 6,402 buses are run by State Transport Undertakings. This works out to 56 per cent. During the year 1979-80, the State Transport Corporations purchased J,321 new buses at a cost of Rs. 26 crores. Out of this, 601 were for replacement of old buses and 720 were additions to the fleet, to ply mostly on new routes, connecting 1,395 villages with a population of about 32 lakhs. Even though the State Transport Corporations would lose on these new routes, they con tinue the operations with the social objective of serving rural areas. As on date, out of 5,916 services operated by the State Transport Corporations, 3,245 services are unremunerative. As on 30th June 1980, 6,471 buses in the Public Sector are running over 18*5 kms. per day, carrying 66 lakh passengers. The labour force in operating these services is about 49,000 strong. The fare now being charged is the lowest compared to the neighbouring States in the Country. Due to price hike in petroleum products announced by the Union Government from 8th June 1980 and the escalation in the cost of all automobile spares, revision of bus fare has become inevitable and bus fare structure has siKce been revised to meet the operational co st to Certain extent. The State Transport CoTporations are assisted by the Engineering Corporations for maintaining excellence in technical standards of maintenance and also bv the Institute of Road Transport for Research, Development and Training. In respect of financing capital programmes, the Transport Corporations are assisted by the “Tamil Nadu Transport Development Finance Corporation”, started in 1975 with a Government equity of Rs. 1,22 lakhs. It has now a resource base of about Rs. 19 62 crores and has extended Financial assistance to the tune of Rs. 54 crores from its inception, which has enabled the State Transport Undertakings to purcahse more than 3,000 buses of the total fleet. It is also proposed to raise the share capital base of the Tamil Nadu Transport Development Finance Corporation and the State Government’s contribution by way of share capital to Tamil Nadu Transport Development Finance Corporation shall be Rs. 50 lakhs during 1981-82. Replacement Programme.—With the objective of ensuring safe and trouble-free travel to the public and also to economise fuel and the cost of operation, it is proposed to replace very old buses. Out of the total fleet of 6,471 buses as on 30th June 1980, 626 buses are more than 10 years old and out of this 626, 346 numbers are more than 12 years old. As the optimum hfe of the vehicle is found to be 7 years, it is proposed to replace these old vehicles in a phased manner during the Plan period. Express buses running long distance will be replaced after three years. In respect of buses running in the Madras Metropolitan Area, since the distance covered per day is less compared to all other Corporations, it is proposed to replace them after eight years. The total outlay provided in the Annual Plan, 1981-82 towards the replacement of buses by the Transport Corporations shall be Rs. 20 crores -vvhich shall be financed through internal generation of funds by the Transport Corporations and institutional support.

Tamil Nadu has been a pioneer in many educational activities and its achievement in the field of Education over the years has not only been consid-erable but has also captured the atten tion of the other Indian States. However, there ‘s great and urgent need for strengthening still further Primary Education in the State so as to make it a stronger foundation for Education at the higher levels and to enable the Government of Tamil Nadu to achieve the universalisatioii of Primary EdLica'don, which is the Constitutional directive. Present Position. Elementary Education serves as the lever of development because the basic skills in reading, writing and computation imparted at the elementary stage are indispensable for the formation and development of specific skills. The end result of “ Elementary Educaiion should be effective permanent literacy which will lead to mobility, productivity and innovation.

More number of Degree Courses are required to be opened in the coming year also, in order to* meet the rush for admission in degree courses. During 1980-81, the first batch of+2 candidates urom Higher Secondary Schools entered the College for admission in degree courses. Unlike in previous yeais, the demand for admission in Colleges in rural areas is also heavy, as many Higher Secondary Schools have been opened in rural areas. This upward trend in acquiring Highe Education is a welcome feature and it will continue for another five years due to starting of more and more ^ligher Secondary Schools in the coming future. To cope up with this rush, the intake Capacity of Degree Courses is to be increased suitably, wherever necessary. The approximate expenditure involved in opening an Arts.and Science Course will roughly be of Rs. 50,000 and Rs. 1-00 lakh respectively. Moreover, more number of teachers are also to be appointed as there would not be any surplus staff left-over under most of the disciplines. An amount of Rs. 24-73 lakhs has been provided for spill over expen'^iture towards I and Ilyear Degie Classes that were started in 1979-80 and 1980-81.

This number will further increase in the coming years. Moreover, many of the graduates may like to pursue higher studies, as the minimum qualification for the p^st of Assistant Professors in Colleges and teachers.in Higher Secondary Schools is a Post-Graduate Degree. Consequent on the opening of a large number of Higher Secondary Schools, the demand for teachers with Post-Graduate qualification will definitely be on the high side. While the existing teachers and employed persons would pursue Post-Graduate Degree Course through the Evening Colleges, it is imperative to start additional Post-Graduate Courses in Government Colleges to meet the needs of students coming out successful through regular studies. The approximate expenditure for opening Post-Graduate Course will be as follows ■.— Recurring.

Courses and also provision of facilities to the Structural Engineering and Engineering Design at Government College of Technology, Coimbatore and P. G. Diploma Course in Electro-Chemical Engineering at A.C. College of Engineering and Technology, Karaikudi. Some of the important Schemes proposed for implementation during 1981-82 are detailed below :— 1. Setting up a Computer Centre at Goxernment College o f Technology, Coimbatore. Computer usage is a must for every Department. With the increasing awareness and usage of computers in all sphere of activities, it has become necessary to train perscnnel in areas like Computer programming, Computer Technolcgy forreserarch work etc. Computational methods is a compulsoiy subject for all undergraduate courses. In addition, electives are offered in numerical analysis, operational research and computer technclcgy. For all these courses, a computer of medium size is essential as the students have to be trained in programming techniques and solution cf problems on computers. Besides, a computer is a must for P.G. courses as most of the research projects for M. E. Courses are computer oriented. The establishment of a Com puter Centre at Government College of Technolcgy, Coimbatore will provide faciUlies for the facility to take up research projects wJiich need large scale computation as well as consultancy work, field problems, extension services and continuing Educa'jcn. The Centre will also serve the Computer needs of Educational Institutions and Industries in and aromd Coimbatore. 2. Dixersification o f courses, In order to provide the manpower required by the Agricultural and technical fields it becomes necessary to diversify the courses. Keeping this in view, courses in Plant maintenance, Produc tion Technology, Industrial Electronics, Construction Technology and Refrigeration and Air- conditioning are being introduced. 3. Modernisation o f Laboratories. W iththe introduction of new diversified courses, it becomes necessary to modernise the various Labo atories. Departments in the technical institutions in the State. Engineering Courses, unlike the Science courses, involve a lot of workshop practicals and Laboratry experiments. On this score, laboratories form an important part. It also becomes necessary to impart technical educa tion to suit the day to day development of Science and Technology. For this purpose, it is necessary to purchase modern and sophisticated eqiipment. The machineries and equipments now available in the technical institutions were purchased long back. As these equipment are obsolete now when compared to the latest developments and trends in science and Technology, imparting technical education with these obsolete equipment will be counter productive. It is, therefore, necessary to take stepv to modernise the laboratoiies in the technical institutions with latest equipment and machinery. 4. Providing student amenities. In some of the Engineering Colleges and Polytechnics, there is no adequate hostel facility for students. As such it is necessaiy to provide adequate hostel facilities by way of construction of addtional hostel buildings. Besides, it becomes necessary to provide water tanks and pipe lines to the institutions where there is no adequate water-supply at present. It is also necessary to provide the required furniture to some of the Engineering Colleges and Polytechnics. A. ALLOPATHY. L D irection and A dministration. (rupees in LAKHS.)

The TWAD is concerned with the provision of Water-Supply and Sanitation facilities in the Urban and Rural Sectors of Tamil Nadu except the Madras Metropolitan Area. Out ofthe 740 local bodies other than Village Panchayats in the State ofTamilNadu, 292 local bodies have been covered or schemes are in progress in respect of water-supply systems benefitting a population of 11-42 millions and 448 local bodies with a population of 4-08 million are yet to be covered in the field of water-supply. Regarding sewerage, 19 local bodies with a population of 4-64 million have been provided with sewerage facilities and 721 local bodies with a population of 10‘86 million are to be provided with sewerage facilities. The TWAD Board has proposed a scheme for assistance from the World Bank to provide water-supply to 120 local bodies where no facilities exist now and up dale water-supply facilities in nine major towns. This scheme is expected to start in the year 1981-82 and will take 3 | years to complete. The current programme for 1980-81 and the programme proposed for W^orld Bank assistance for the years 1981-82 to 1984-85 is taken as the Sixth Five-Year Plan Programme for the urban scheme inTami 1 Nadu. As per this programme spill over schemes (70 new water-supply, 28 improve- ments and 7 sewerage schemes) costing Rs. 32-05 crores ; updating water-supply systems in nine major towns at a cost otRs. 50 crores, new water-suply schemes for 245 local bodies out o f448 at a cost of Rs. 80 crores and nine sewerage schemes for Class I towns costing Rs. 30 crores, Sullage UtiVisation Schemes in towns located on the liver banks costing Rs. 3 crores, Low cost sanitation facilities in 101 towns at a cost of Rs. 36 crores are proposed during the Sixth Five-Year Plan period. The total estimated cost during the Sixth Five-Year Plan for urban schemes works oU to Rs. 231 crores. Of this the contribution fiom the Government will be Rs. 106‘92ciores and that of Government of India will be Rs. 29-75 crores. A sum of Rs. 103-33 crores is expected as L,I.C. Loan assistance.

(RUPEES IN l a k h s ) Estimate cost . • .. 15 00 Various schemes for provic.ing water-supply amenities to the unserved areas and pockets in the city have been sanctioned and are in progress. Some of the streets could not be taken up for laying of mains as they were not declared public by Corporation of Madras. These will be taken up for work as and when they are declared public. These works are proposed to be completed during 1980-81. C onstruction of T h ir d C o n d u it from R ed H ills. Estimate cost Rs. 8,08-00 lakhs. A t present raw-water from Red Hills is conveyed to Kilpauk Water Works through two m ason ry conduits having a total capacity of 250 mid. The first conduit built in 1914 with a conveying capacity of 105 mid. has been under constant use for more than 60 years and is in a bad condition with lot of crocks in the side walls and arches., requiring replacement. In view of the fact that any possible closure of the first conduit due to break down will seriously affect the city w ater supply, it is proposed to constiuctathird conduit of capacity 190mld. (42mgd.)so as to convey any additional quantity that may become available through future augmentation schemes. The new conduit will be similar to the existing second conduit of 143 mid. capacity with masonry walls and arch/R.C.C. slab. The scheme will be commenced in 1980-8] and is proposed to be completed in 1983-84. City D istribution System—Scheme XVlli. Estimate cost Rs. 13*68 lakhs. Many layouts were formed in the city and the people have been requesting for water supply amenity. The streets were grouped as scheme XVIII and a scheme for laying 100 mm. water mains in 39 streets in different parts of the city for a length of 9,000 metres has been prepared. Under this scheme it is proposed to lay watei mains in such of those streets which are either public or in a n authorised layout. The work will be completed in 1982-83. R enewal of C hocked-up M ains. Estimate cost Rs. 2,00*00 lakhs. The city distribution pipe lines consist of sizes from 100 mm. to 1,200 mm. over a length of about 1,300 kilometres. In view of the limited sources of water, the city has been having only intermittent supply to distribute the available water. The intermittent supply has resulted in the mains getting emptied during the major portion of the day and consequent tuberculation and incrustation of mains which in turn reduced the areas of cross-section. It has resulted in less quantity of flow and loss of pressure available. The World Health Organisation/United Nations Development Project pre-investment studies have also pointed out the deteriorated condition of the pipe lines and they have assessed that about 50 per cent of the distribution pipe lines are more than 40 to 50 years old and will require replacement work on a large scale. Due to paucity of funds there has been a large back-log in the renewal of pipe line. It is proposed to take up the renewal in a phased manner over the next 5 years. During 1980-81, it is proposed to renew pipes of sizes 100 mm. to 200 mm. for a total length of about 4,500 metres at an estimate Cost of Rs. 4*50 lakhs. This scheme is programmed for completion in 1984-85, Purchase of W ater L orries. Estimate cost Rs. 7*00 lakhs, Inviewofthelimitedsourcesofwater,thepressuresavailableinthetailendareas are very low resulting in pockets ofdefective water supply. The scarcity of water is pronounced in slum areas, la order to cater to the needs of these pockets, water is supplied through tanks erected in these places and filled by water lorries. To cope rp with the increasing demand, purchase of additional lorries becomes essential. It is proposed to purchase an additional 4 Nos. of lorries during the year 1980-81. PRoyisiON OF W ater S u pply in E xtbn ded A reas. Estimat(i cost Rs. 2,06-00 lahhs. The city limits were extendeci by bringing 12 panchayats on tlie outskirts of the Madras City. The water supply position in these erstwhile panchayats have been far from satisfactoi y. In order to provide a limited supply of water a scheme has been prepared for an estimated cost of Rs. 20^ lakhs. It is proposed to develop local ground water sources and extend water supply to these areas with bore wells or open wells, service reservoirs and suitable distribution system. Under this scheme, Thiruvanmiyur Panchayat area has already been taken up for provision of water supply and the connected works are in progress. It is proposed to take up other areas in stages during the next 2 years. The work isprogrammed for completion in 1982-83. D istribution S ystem to U nserved A reas Estimate Cost Rs. 175 00 lakjis. 0 The city has a large back-log of unserved areas, i.e., streets or lay-outs without water mains. It is estimated that there may be over 600 streets without water mains in various parts of the city and the length involved is about 107 kilometres. A tentative scheme has been prepared to lay water mains over a length of 107 kilometres mostly of 100 mm. pipe lines. It is proposed to lay water mains in such of those streets which are either public or in unauthorised layout. These particulars will be ascertained from the Corporation of Madras and priority list drawn for taking up the work. The scheme for an estimated value of Rs. 175-00 lakhs is proposed to be completed by 1984-85. M odernisation of H ead Works and Installation of D iesel G enerators. Estimate Cost Rs. 14000 lakhs. As the city water supply is an intermittent one, the supply hours being 4-30 to 9-00 am. in the morning and 4-30 to 6-00 p.m. in the evening it is essential that water is supplied at full pressure during these supply hours. In view of the fluctuations in the power supply and frequent break downs, it is found that at many times the pumps have to be shut down during this supply hours. In view of the large demand, the balancing tanks get depleted in no time during these time of power failure. As such it is essential that alternative source of power is made available for these major pumping stations. Although there is a diesel generator in Kilpauk Water works, they do not meet the full requirements. As such it is proposed to install diesel generators in Southern Head Works pumping station and Robinson Park pumping station and additional sets in Kilpauk Water works. The estimate cost of the scheme is Rs. 140 00 lakhs. It is proposed to complete the schemes by 1983-84. E nlargem ent of P um pin g C apacity at K il pa u k . Estimate Cost Rs. 140 00 lakhsc There are three numbers of H.T. pumpsets capable of pumping 1-2 milhon gallons per hour against 26 m. (80 feet) head and four L.T. pumpsets with capacity of 0-6 million gallons per hours against (80 feet) 26 m. head. These H.T. pumpsets are more than 40 years old and have practically served their life time. The increasing population requires modernisation of these pumpsets by augmenting their pumping capacity also to the extent necessary. It is proposed to replace these pumping machinery in stages without disturbing the daily water supply arrange ments. The scheme is estimated to cost Rs. 140 00 lakhs and proposed to be carried out by 1984-85. L aying T hird P umping M ain from K ilpauk to Shaft. Estimate Cost Rs. 120-00 lakhs. At Present ths Bulk requirements of city water supply are pump-d uom Kilpauk Water works to a central distribution point called as Kilpauk shaft through two numbers of 1,200 mm. diameter pumping mains. One of these mains 1,200 mm. dia. steel main laid in 1914 has practically served its life time. In addition the loss of head through this pumping main is high and laying a third pumping main of a larger diameter along tbe same alignmerit is expected to considerably reduce the loss of head and consequently increase the available terminal head in the distribution system as well as avoid risk of a break down of city water supply. It is proposed to lay a third pumping main of size 1,675 mm. dia. in steel from Kilpauk pumping station to shaft for a length of 1,000 meters. It is also proposed to connect this pumping main with existing trunk mains at the shaft. The estimate cost of the scheme is Rs. 120 lakhs and it is proposed to complete the scheme by 1983-84. D evelopment OF Local Sources to A ugment Water Su pply . Estimate Cost' Rs. 1,500-00 Jakhs. Apart from the major proposals of the Board to augment the City Water Supply, short term measures are also required so as to utilise the existing sources to the maximum and also to tap additional nearer sources to the extent possible. Alternatives being considered under this category are t— (1) Raising the bund of Chembarambakkam Lake so as to utilise the surplus storage for the city water supply requirement. (2) Purchasing the riparian rights under Chembarambakkam lake so as to divert the available quantity for city water supply (and) (3) Interconnecting Chembarambakkam Lake and Poondi Reservoir so as to ensure more optimum drawal of flow in the catchment of Kortaliyar basin into Poondi Reservoir. These proposals are to be finalised in consultation with the Irrigation Department after examining the existing irrigation demands, etc. This scheme will spill over beyond this Five-Year Plan period. Strengthening of E xisting D istribution System. Estimate Cost Rs. 25-00 lakhs. This is a token provision intended for carrying out improvements to certain specific local pockets of distribution system where the residual pressure is pretty low. The nature of im provements will be either reinforcement of mains additional boosters and or over head storages. This work is programmed for completion by 1984-85. P rovision of W ater Supply to other M etropolitan A rea. Estimate Cost Rs. 500*CO lakhs. At present this Board has got jurisdiction over the Madras City Corporation Limits i« respect of water supply and sewerage services. In view of the fact that this Board will be in charge ultimately of the entire Metropolitan Area tentative allocation is made towards pro vision of water supply to the other metropolitan areas that may be brought within the jurisdiction of the Board at a later date. The chronic defective areas are like Ambattur, Avadi, etc. which will require improvement of water supply systems. Provision of Rs. 500 lakhs is made for this purpose. This work is programmed for commencement in 1984-85 and will spill over beyond this Five-Year Plan. C onjunctive use P roject—Pre-investment Studies, [Estimate Cost Rs. 86-45 lakhs. The consultants who conducted the pre-investment studies for improvements to water supply and sewerage systems of Madras City estimated that about 57 per cent of the storage in .Poondi-Cholavaram and Red Hills lakes is lost by evaporation and seepage and considered that, if geological conditions permit, evap ..ration losses could be minimised by recharging local ground water acquifers with the surface water normally stored in the reservoir system. They recom mended the investigation of the feasibility of developing additional water supply through the Conjunctive Use of surface and ground water in the Arari-Kortaliar Basin. .The United Nations experts who conducted preliminary studies have expressed the opinion that there is a definite possibility of the scheme being successful whereby considerable increase in the water supply to Madras can be accomplished within a relatively short-time and at a mana geable cost. The State Government input in the form of counterpart staff, equipment and expenses on studies is estimated at Rs. 86-45 lakhs. The duration of the project is three years with provision for mid-term review, at the end of one and a half years. If the mid-term review reveals, that the scheme is not feasible the project will be called off. If, on the other hand, the scheme is found feasible, further studies will be continued and the facihties required for implementation of the scheme will be prepared. The project has been cleared by Ministry of works and Housing, Government of India, the Central Planning Commission, The Director General of Technical Development and Depart ment of Science of Technology. The project has been included in the II Country Programme of UNDP. The Project is hkely to be cleared by the Department of Economic Affairs, Government of India and by the UNDP and is likely to be commenced by October 1980, and is expected to be completed by 1983-84. Conjunctive use Project (Implementation). Estimate Cost Rs. 6,000 00 lakhs. The studies are programmed to be in an advanced stage by 1983-84 and in case the studies indicate i^ssiblility of successful implementation, immediate follow up action is proposed by construction activity like sinking bore wells, etc. This implementation will spill beyond the plan period. M adras W ater Supply P roject (South)—W ater Supply Component. Estimate Cost Rs. 17,00 00 lakhs, Madras Water Supply Scheme (South) is a major scheme proposed for augmentation of the City Water Supply. The proposal is to tap the surface water from Veeranam lake near Sethia- thope fed by Coleroon System supplemented by sub-surface water from the open mine-cut of Neyveh. The treated water will be conveyed to the city through a steel pipe line of 1,500 mm, size and 220 km. length. The implementation of the project would ensure drawal of an additional quantity of 40 togd. (180 mid.) of water into the city. The project also includes the corresponding improvements required to the city distribution system and sewerage system so as to take in this extra quantity of 180 mid. The project has since been apprised by the World Bank for a total cost of Rs. 210 crores and consultancy bids have also been received for preparation of detailed designs, etc. The project will be spread over 5 years for implementation commencing from 1981-82. In additon to this, Government of Tamil Nadu has also been considering alternative sources for water supply augmentation from the Cauvery source around Jadarpalayam or the Ponniyar source near Sathanur Anicut. A decision on the choice of either of the three sources namely Neyveli, Sethiathope or Cauvery or Ponniar to augment the city water supply is expected to be finalised in a couple of months. In case the State Government decides to implement the alternative scheme of Jadarpalayam or Sathanur, the Plan provisions sought for would have to be enhanced correspondingly. This work is programmed for commencement in 1981-82 and will spill over beyond this Five-Year Plan.

Statutory backing was given to the Slum Clearance Board by the enactment of a legislation called Tamil Nadu Slum Areas (Improvement and Clearance) Act, 1971. The Housing Board continues to be in charge of slum clearance/improvement scheme in the mofussil. Immediately after the formation of the Board, a socio-economic survey was conducted by the Board with a view to assessing the size of the problem. The survey revealed that there were 1,202 slums in the city of Madras which contained 1,63,804 families (population 7,37,531) . Thus practically one-third of the population in the city of Madras seems to be living in slums. Based on a preliminary survey, the Board drew up a short term programme for clearance ;^of worst among the slums and. commenced work in the slum areas. Prior to the formation of Slum Clearance Board, 7,384 tenements had been completed by the Tamil Nadu Housing Board. These were handed over to the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board. The total number of tenements constructed by the Slum Clearance Board since its incep tion ill 1970 and upto 31st March, 1980 is 29,146 involving an outlay of Rs. 33 crores. During the year 1980-81, 1980 tenements have been proposed to be constructed including schemes financed by HUDCO involving an oulay of Rs. 1,10-00 lakhs.

The Slum Clearance/improvement Scheme was introduced in Madras City during the vear 1956-57 and was later extended to the mofussil area during the third Plan Teriod All items of slum clearance work were executed by the Madras Corporation and the Madras City fmDrovement Trust in the early stage. After the constitution of the Tamil Nadu Housing Board in the vea^ 1961, this work was entrusted to the Housing Board. ^ In 1970, the Govermnent decided to launch a phased programme to eliminate completely the slums in Madras City within a period of seven years. The Government also decided that a new image should be ^ven to the Slum Clearance Programme. In pursuance of this decision^ the Government constituted the Slum Clearance Board in September 1970 and entrusted to it, the work of Slum Clearance/Improvement Schemes in Madras City. Statutory backing was given to the Slum Clearance Board by the enactment of the Tamil Nadu Slum Areas (Improvement and Clearance) Act, 1971. The Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board has formulated the following schemes :— (1) Slum Clearance Schemes financed by the Government. (2) Slum Clearance Schemes financed by the HUDCO. (3) Environmental Improvement Schemes/Accelerated Slum Improvement Schemes. (4) Slum Improvement Schemes under World Bank Project. (5) Remunerative Enterprise Schemes. Slum Clearance Schemes {financed by Government).—Prior to 1974-75 funds for the execution of the Slum Clearance BoarJ. in the City of Madras were provided to Slum Clearance Board on a 50 per cent loan and 50 per cent grant basis. The loan amount was repayable in 30 years with interest. The income generated by the investments made on Slum Clearance Schemes was not even sufficient to meet the maintenance cost of the slum tenements and there was no margin to repay the loan out-lays on the schemes. In view of this, the Government were requested to treat the entire assistance as 100 per cent grant and also to treat the release made under loan so far as grant. The Government decided in June 1975 that the entire assistance so far given to the Slum Clearance Boarj for the execution of the Slum Clearance Schemes in Madras City would be treated as 100 per cent grant. The Government also decided that the funds provided for Slum Clearance Schemes in the State Budget should be treated as subsidy from the year 1975-76 orwards. Prior to the formation of Slum Clearance Board 7,384 tenements ha ' been completed by the Tamil Nadu Housing Board. These were handed over to the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board. The total number of tenements constructed by the Slum Clearance Board since its incep tion in 1970 and upto 31st March 1980 is 27,783 involving an out-lay of Rs. 31.23 crores. During the year 1980-81, 3,000 tenements have been proposed to be constructe ' including schemes financed by HUDCO involving an out-lay of Rs. 3,49 lakhs. In 1981-82, the Slum Clearance Board aims at completing 2,200 tenements. Environmental Improvement! Accelerated Slum Improvement Schemes.—^h is scheme of providing environmental improvements to the slums was sanctioned by the Government of India in 1972-73 as a 100 per cent grant and continued till 1973-74. From 1974—75 onwarc s this scheme has been transferred to State Sector. Under this scheme the untouched 504 slums had to be provided with basic amenities benefiting 44,422 families. Under this scheme, all the 504 slums will be provided with drinking water supply, street light, roads and public latrines. During 1979-80, a sum of Rs. 80*06 lakhs has been spent benefiting 30,000 families. During 1980-81, a sum of Rs. 50 lakhs has been proposed to be spent out of the unspent balance of the Government grant available with the Slum Clearance Board. About 5,000 families will be benefited under this scheme. In 1980-81, a sum of Rs. 55 lakhs has been proposed to be spent to provide basic amenities for 5,500 families. World Bank Schemes.—\n addition to above, the World Bank has come forward to render substantial assistance for improvement of slums. Under this scheme, the slum families will be rearranged so that each family is given about 40 sq. metre of land property developed with all basic amenities, infrastructure commanding the convenience of under ground sewage, water supply roads, street lights, etc., and the slum dwellers will be encouraged to put up his cwn house under self help programme and bank loan. It is proposed to give them patta. During 1979-80, a sum of Rs., 1,44-21 lakhs has been spent benefiting 12,461 families. During 1980-81, a sum of Rs. 60 lakhs has been proposed to be spent. About 10,000 families will be benefited. During 1981-82, a sum of Rs. 250 lakhs is proposed to be spent under M.U.D.P. II, to provide amenities for 10,000 families.

Statistics. The role and functions of Statistics in an era of planned economic development needs na emphasis and an eflftcient Statistical system is a pre-requisite for planning. In evolving hypothesis, formulating policies, evaluating achievements and forecasting, the Statistical Organisation has an immense conti ibution to make. 1 herefore, the systeih should be such as to enable speedy collection of reliable statistical information as,and when it is needed. Since the commencement of planning, a number of schemes aimed at improvement have been implemented in the State. The statistical requirements fc r Plan formulatic n in Tamil Nadu have increased considerably over the years. Substantial improvements have been registered in the recent years, yet gaps are noticed in certain sectors. It is proposed to fill up the gaps in a phased manner in the Sixth Plan period.

It would not be realistic to think in terms of efficiency planning in agriculture in the absence of the above noted actual data for individual or homogeneous groups of villages. Keeping this in view and the need to fill up the gap in Agricultural Statistics in order to make them internationally comparable, the Government of India have implemented this scheme in Tamil Nadu. This scheme will be continued in 1981-82 also for complete enumeration in Tamil Nadu.
