Considering the economic 10 November 2019 potentials filled with Neem, higher area is visualized in the study environment in the future years. Price per unit of Neem seeds found to be the principal factor in influencing the Neem seed collection. Introduction hence the same has been approved by the United States’ Environmental Protection Neem tree has become an important tree in the Agency for use as food crops.From the global context today because it offers answers primeval times, Neem has been a noteworthy to the major concerns facing mankind. Such a common tree species in India due to its wonderful tree belongs to the family of multifunctional uses like Medicinal, Bio- Meliaceae which is native to dry forests of fertilizer, Fumigant, Bio-Pesticides, Oil Seeds South and Southeast Asia. Neem and its and Cattle Feed with various ecological and products are considered to be harmless and environmental benefits (Lokanadhan et al., 1693 Int.J.Curr.Microbiol.App.Sci (2019) 8(11): 1693-1703 2012). The sixth World Neem Conference has chosen the district for conducting the study. which was held in Nagpur during 2012 also Besides the area, Oil Mills were available in predominantly focused on the utilization plenty in Madurai District and hence the aspects of Neem but its cultivation and Virudhunagar and Madurai Districts were development of value chain mechanisms purposively chosen in the First Stage. through agroforestry and urban forestry was not much addressed and needs momentum. After selecting the districts, the blocks which There are various Neem based agroforestry are having higher area under Neem were systems are observed in India.

  • The Effects of Expansion of Private Wells on Rural Livelihood in Tank Intensive Watersheds: a Case Study in Upper Gundar River Basin, Tamil Nadu
    Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 49, No. 1, June 2011 The Effects of Expansion of Private Wells on Rural Livelihood in Tank Intensive Watersheds: A Case Study in Upper Gundar River Basin, Tamil Nadu SATO Takahiro* and Periyar Ramasamy DURAIYAPPAN** Abstract This article aims to investigate the effects of the expansion of private wells on rural livelihood (income) in a tank-intensive watershed in the upper Gundar River Basin in southern Tamil Nadu, India, based on data obtained by recent field surveys, government statistics and meteorological records. For the entire upper river basin, we show spatial differences at the village (gram panchayat) level and track the changes over the last two decades. The major finding is that although traditional crop production, mainly composed of paddy, millets and pulses, was dominant at least until the mid-1990s, the expansion of private wells enabled farmers to introduce cash crops, especially in the upper part of the basin. By contrast, fallow land increased sharply in the lower part of the basin due mainly to the disappointing performance of the wells. The different performance of wells finally resulted in a significant income gap between the upper and the lower river basin. Keywords: tank irrigation, private well, commercial agriculture, farm income I Introduction Based on tank (water reservoir) irrigation system, traditional rice-based agriculture has long been practiced in many parts of Tamil Nadu, India. Nowadays there are still 39,202 tanks in the state [Palanisami et al. 2008], which were constructed across the slope of valleys to catch and store water. These tanks have existed since “time immemorial” [Palanisami 2000]; one of the tanks in Madurai District, for instance, was constructed either in the later Pandiyas (1300AD–1600AD) or the Nayakas (1600AD–1800AD) period, deducing from its sluice structure and mortar [Ford Foundation and Anna University 2001].
