  • LBP Farmers Want Release of Water to Save Crops the Tamizhaga
    LBP farmers want release of water to save crops The Tamizhaga vivasayigal Sangam has urged the State government to fulfil the Erode district administration’s demand to release six tmcft water for two wettings in the Lower Bhavani Project ayacut second-turn irrigation area that has been affected by drought. In a resolution adopted at the Sangam's district unit meeting, chaired by its secretary T. Subbu Muthusamy, the meeting called for declaration of a major part of Tamil Nadu as drought-affected and distribution of relief to farmers and agricultural workers after proper assessment of the impact. The association wanted Agriculture Department officials to determine prospective productivity in fields for the purposes of insurance and evaluation of drought relief in the presence of farmers. Speakers at the meeting said the loans granted to farmers through nationalised banks and cooperative banks must be written off since cultivators had been hit hard by the continuous dry conditions and unremunerative procurement prices. Officials in the habit of preparing data "arbitrarily" must be punished, they said. The association called upon the State government to identify all waterbodies so that encroachments can be removed and desilting done. Feasibility of linking rivers and constructing check-dams should be explored to expand cultivable area and recharge ground water. Steps should be initiated to deepen waterbodies and other water sources under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme ‘Namakku Naame’ schemes. Farmers must be permitted to utilise the dug-out soil and organic material for enhancing fertility of fields, the Sangam said. Plea to write off loans granted to farmers through nationalised and cooperative banks Steps should be initiated to deepen waterbodies under MGNREGS Agricultural graduate student conference Tamil Nadu Agricultural University will conduct the second Agricultural Graduate Student Conference on ‘Sustainable Agriculture to FUEL (feed, unite, educate and lead) the future’ on May 6 and 7.

  • 05.01.2016 Government to Focus on Access to Social Security For
    05.01.2016 Government to focus on access to social security for unorganised labour: Jaitley Mechanisms can be thought of wherein social security benefit contributions to workers can be made by employers at a single window for all workers, says the Finance Minister. He said that the key challenges faced by Indian agriculture are the need to increase productivity by leveraging technology. Finance Minister, Arun Jaitley, said the government’s priority was to ensure access to health and social security benefits to three labour groups— organised, unorganised and those not employed or below the poverty line. Addressing labour unions and farmers’ associations in two separate meetings on Monday, Mr. Jaitley said, “To make health and social security benefits accessible to unorganised sector workers like construction workers, migrant labourers, volunteers of different schemes like Anganwadi workers etc is one of the major priorities of the present government. “Mechanisms can be thought of wherein social security benefit contributions to workers can be made by employers at a single window for all workers,” the Minister said. “The minimum wage should not be less than Rs.18,000 per month. Need- based minimum wage is to be considered as essential part of social security,” the central trade unions had said in their recommendations. “The income tax ceiling for the salaried persons and pensioners should be raised to Rs.five lakh per annum and fringe benefits like housing, medical and educational facilities and running allowances in Railways should be exempted from the income tax net in totality,” the unions added. The unions also recommended that contract or casual workers should not be deployed in jobs of a perennial nature.
