Annual Plan 2011-12 - An Overview 1.1. The Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-12) was formulated with the broad objectives of ensuring steady and sustainable economic growth coupled with social justice, safeguard the livelihoods of people, and to improve the quality of life of the urban and rural population. Accordingly, the Annual Plans from 2007-08 to 2010-11 were evolved within the Five Year Plan framework. 1.2. However, the near normal production in Agriculture during 2007-08 over the extraordinarily bountiful previous year along with low growth in the industry sector yielded poor growth of the State’s economy. Low overall growth persisted during the following year, 2008-09, partly due to the rapidly developing global slowdown which peaked in this period and led to negative growth in the industry sector. Industrial recovery in the next year recovered a high growth rate of 8.96 per- cent. - Because of the robust Services sector, the reduced growth of the first two years of the Plan have been recovered although agriculture grew slowly despite several normal rainfall years and industry could not sustain high growth levels. A variety of subsidies and a substantial increase in social welfare benefits mark this period during which inflationary impacts on food prices seriously affected people’s welfare. 1.3. The Government has identified priorities in tackling the imbalance between rural and urban amenities, poor health indicators among the urban poor, and the physical quality of life of people. A boost to growth is planned by focusing on the infrastructure and power needs of industry and on revitalizing agriculture through modern technology and the efficient use of resources. It is in this backdrop of achieving a higher growth trajectory that the Annual Plan 2011-12 is formulated for a proposed outlay of Rs.23,000 crores. State Economy 1.4. The State had set itself a target of 9% economic growth with 4% growth rate in agriculture, 9.2% in industries and 10.1% in services sectors during the Eleventh Plan period (2007-2012). During the first two years of the Plan from 2007 to 2009, the state achieved moderate growth rates of 5.91% and 5.77% mainly on account of a growing Services sector. With 2.08% growth in Agriculture and 8.70% in Industry, the year 2009-10 yielded 8.96% growth in the State’s economy. A further rise in the Services sector in 2010-11, enabled overall growth of 11.30% despite low levels of 1.98% in Agriculture and 6.78% in Industry. The Gross State Domestic Product and growth rates of the state for the first four years of the Eleventh Plan period are displayed in the following table: Performance of the Economy from 2007-08 to 2010-11 (GSDP at 2004-05 prices) 4 year Average GSDP Growth Rate Growth (Rs crores) (%) Rate Sector (%) 2007- 2008- 2009- 2010 - 2007- 2008- 2009- 2010 - 08 09 10 11 OS 09 10 11 (AE) (AEP) Agriculture 29978 29543 30156 30753 -4.63 -1.45 2.08 1.98 -0.54 Industry 90010 89360 97137 103721 3.20 -0.72 8.70 6.78 4.43 Services 182223 200751 221004 253169 9.32 10.17 10.09 14.55 11.02 GSDP 302211 319654 348297 387643 5.91 5.77 8.96 11.30 7.96 1.5. The economy of the State is dominated by the Services Sector, accounting for 65% of the GSDP followed by Industry (27%) and Agriculture (8%). Among the Services sector during the period 2007-11, Communications posted a robust growth of 17.9% which was followed by Banking and Insurance, Real Estate and Business services with 16.8%. About 40 per cent of the State’s workforce is employed in the Services sector. 1.6. Per capita income (2004-05 prices) for Tamil Nadu has rose to Rs.46,823 in 2009-10 from Rs.40,969 in 2007-08 registering an average growth rate of 6.91% for this period. Agriculture 1.7. Agriculture remains an important sector as it provides livelihoods to about 40 per cent of the population. The Eleventh Plan aimed at increasing foodgrains production to 115 LMT from an area of 42 lakh hectares in 2011-12. Actual foodgrain production during 2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11 were 65.82 LMT, 71.01 LMT, 75.05 LMT and 85.35 LMT (anticipated) respectively which shows steady increases in production volumes to recover the sharp reduction in the first year of the Plan. However, growth levels continue to be poor and well below the target set for the State. Hence, it is proposed to revitalize this sector by rapidly expanding the adoption of resource-conserving technologies of micro-irrigation and innovative technologies such as SRI techniques in paddy. Precision farming in horticulture crops. Pit method in sugarcane. Foliar spraying in pulses and by gearing up the State’s extension services to work proactively with farmers. These measures are expected to raise crop productivity and thereby achieve the target set for the Eleventh Plan. Industry 1.8. Tamil Nadu is one of the most favoured investment destinations due to its abundant skilled manpower, adequate availability of physical and social infrastructure and the proactive policies of the State Government. According to the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE), the outstanding investments in Tamil Nadu as at March 2011 was Rs. 7.75 lakh crores, registering a growth rate of 12% over the same period last year. In the Manufacturing sector alone, the state attracted investments of Rs. 1,65,476 crores as at March 2011. The Annual Survey of Industries for the year 2008-09, Tamil Nadu ranks ‘First’ among Indian states in terms of number of factories

It is consumed as fresh for its nutritive value. The fruit is rich in anthocyanin, tannins, Gallic acid and many Phytonutrients. High fluctuation in market price on season times is mainly due to wastage. Drying is done to enhance the storage stability, reduce transport weight and retains its nutritive values. Freeze drying was conducted at -40°C the dried powder was packed at two different packaging material Metalized Polyester Pouches (MPE) and Low Density polyethylene Pouches (LDPE). Under three various storage conditions were S1 (Ambient temperature), S2 (ambient temperature in Dark), S3 (low temperature 4°C). On comparing the results of storage study it was found that Moisture content 3.15 %, Bulk density 0.60, solubility 69.85 and flow ability 31.47% was found at the end of six month in S3 condition packed in MPE.

    IRRIGATION PROJECTS OF TAMIL NADU FROM 2001-2021 NAME – VRINDA GUPTA INSTITUTION – K.R. MANGALAM UNIVERSITY 1 ABSTRACT From the ancient times water is always most important for agriculture purpose for growing crops. Since thousand years, humans have relied on agriculture to feed their communities and they have needed irrigation to water their crops. Irrigation includes artificially applying water to the land to enhance the growing of crops. Over the years, irrigation has come in many different forms in countries all over the world. Irrigation projects involves hydraulic structures which collect, convey and deliver water to those areas on which crops are grown. Irrigation projects unit may starts from a small farm unit to those serving extensive areas of millions of hectares. Irrigation projects consist of two types first a small irrigation project and second a large irrigation project. Small irrigation project includes a low diversion or an inexpensive pumping plant along with small channels and some minor control structures. Large irrigation project includes a huge dam, a large storage reservoir, hundreds kilometers of canals, branches and distributaries, control structures and other works. In this paper we discussing about irrigation plan of Tamil Nadu from 2001-2021. INTRODUCTION Water is the important or elixir of life, a precious gift of nature to humans and millions of other species living on the earth.

The ramification of pollution is indeed more• severe in the less developed countries that are afflictedwith chronic problems of political instability, lack of political will, high• level of illiteracy, unceasing poverty, increasing degree• of urbanization, lack of basic needs• and basic• infrastructureand women subordination• . The subject matter of groundwater and surfacewater pollution gains further significance due to• economic • .liberaliz.ation policy, to which most underdeveloped countries have been subjected. In other words, the phrase, "sustainable development" emphasized in many international fora, has seemingly no meaning in many underdeveloped countries. • Most river basins, in particular India, are heavily• polluted. In addition, the river basins are stressed due to competing demand for water across different uses and users; there is an intense competition in tapping the good quality water among the sectors such as agriculture, industry and domestic. In the process, milUons of gallons• of good quality water• is transported~ ' from rural to urban areas everyday; the• net result• is the flourishing water trade• and the depletion of• groundwater potential. It causes more anxiety not only because a huge quantity of • water is transported from rural to urban areas,• but also because of the release of comparable quantity of water • as effluent.

  • SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT of DRINKING WATER SOURCES of COASTAL AREA in TAMIL NADU –AN OVER VIEW Dr
    International Journal of Enterprise and Innovation Management Studies (IJEIMS) Vol4. No.1 2013 ISSN: 0976-2698 p.p :16 -26 gopalax journals, Singapore www.ijcns .com SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF DRINKING WATER SOURCES OF COASTAL AREA IN TAMIL NADU –AN OVER VIEW Dr. R.Mohanraj, Assistant Professor, Manonmaniam Sundaranar University,Tirunelveli K.Revathy, Scholar Department of Economics, Manonmaniam Sundaranar University,Tirunelveli ABSTRACT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This paper is aimed at understanding the drinking water status and management approaches adopted in coastal area of Tamil Nadu. Saltwater intrusion, seasonal scarcity and groundwater depletion are the common problems encountered here. Collective action, successful institutional set up and water harvesting methods have shown positive impact. Attempts to resolve the drinking water crisis has been local. However, it is significant to understand that the problems need to be addressed from a larger perspective to curtail long-term effects. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. INTRODUCTION Groundwater plays a vital role as important source of drinking water in rural and urban areas of India. According to some estimates, it accounts for nearly 80 per cent of the rural domestic water needs, and 50 per cent of the urban water needs in India. Naturally surface water bodies are highly subject to contamination and pollution whereas groundwater is less susceptible. Over exploitation of groundwater is causing pollution of this priceless resource. Groundwater pollution is a challenging global problem. Particularly people, who are living near to coastal areas, are facing a struggle to have safe drinking water. Nearly 25% of the population of India lives along the coastal zones. Coastal regions are having both spatial and temporal variations in the groundwater characteristics.

  • Title: Need to Expedite Construction of New Railway Lines from Tindivanam to Nagari and Tiruvannamalai
    > Title: Need to expedite construction of new railway lines from Tindivanam to Nagari and Tiruvannamalai. SHRI M. KRISHNASSWAMY (ARANI): I would like to draw the attention of the Government to the need for expediting the work for the new railway lines from Tindivanam to Nagari and also from Tindivanam to Tiruvannamalai which were announced in 2006-07 by the then Railway Minister. The route of Tindivanam to Nagari, a distance of 180-kms., would pass through Vandavasi, Cheyyar, Arcot, Pallipattu, districts in Tamil Nadu to reach Nagari station on the Arakkonam-Renigunta section in Chittoor District in Andhra Pradesh. For this Rs.180 crore was allotted to take up the survey works in this route. This new route, which passes through Arani, will also help in the development of the silk industry in Arani and also export. The second route is from Tindivanam to Tiruvannamalai. The idea is to provide a connectivity from Pondicherry to Bengaluru (72 kms.) which would benefit people in Coastal and Northern Tamil Nadu to connect to Bengaluru & beyond. Railways, no doubt, will save funds and also easily provide faster connectivity via Gingee town. Already, around Rs.70 crore was allotted for survey in this route. At present, land acquisition work is going on at a snail's speed. There is administrative delay in the process. The two river projects on Palar River and Cheyyar river come on these routes. Stones have been laid at the Palar river and bridges constructed whereas in the Cheyyar river the concerned authorities have not started the bridge construction and the pace of work is very slow.
