The Plan for 1990-91 envisages an outlay o f Rs. 1,450 crores a modest step up of 6*6 per cent over the current year’s approved Plan size of Rs. 1,360 Crores. 2. Being the first year of the new Plan period, some of the schemes of the Seventh Plan have been transferred from Plan to Non-Plan. This has resulted in lower provisions in some sectors like Education, Social Welfare and Nutrition. However, reduction in provision does not mean that the activities earlier carried out in these sectors will come to an end. The essential activities will be carried out as Non-Plan items. Reductions in the outlay in other sectors are because of certain schemes coming to an end or by virtue of rationalisation of some expenditure in the form of ex-gratia payments. 3. The outlay has been increased in such vital sectors like Power, Water- Supply, Agriculture and Transport. In these lectors some of the schemes suggested by the Working Groups constituted by the State Planning Commission to formulate the Eighth Five-Year Plan have also been included. Being the first year of the ne’v Five-Year Plan, only few of these schemes could be accommodated and it is hoped that more such schemes would be taken up once the new approach and thrust of the Eighth Five-Year Plan are fully known. In other sectors, mostly the previous year s level has been maintained. Plan-B VII PAST PERFORMANCE. The fiscal 1989-90, being the terminal year of the Seventh Five-Year Plan, acquires special significance. The Eighth plan is to commence from April, 1990 and for the transition to be smoothly accomplished it would be useful to have a clear idea of the strength and weakness of the State economy. A brief review of the past development experience of the State may provide the necessary backdrop against which the strategy for future development could be evolved. Overall perjormance : Overall growth performance in the State in comparison to what has been achieved at the national level was found to be satisfactory. However, if target achievement is taken as the criterion, the performance was less impressive. The conventional macro indicators do show that the economy fared well except perhaps in sector like agriculture. The inference, however, is not that all is well with the economy; certain problems surface the economy more poignantly which are the result of deficiencies in the past development strategy. The Seventh Plan aimed at a growth rate of 5.3 per cent in SDP. Statistical computation has been completed only for the first three years of the Plan. For this period the relevent rates are 4.17 percent in SDP and 2.53 per cent in per capita SDP. During 1988-89, the monsoonic conditions were not favourable and to that extent agricultural production suffered. The current year is expected to witness better performance. Industrial production did not pick up during the first three years of the Plan as seen from the behaviour of the index of industrial production. Though firm figures are yet to be become available for the last two years, the prospects are quite encouraging largely contributed by improved position in respect of power generation and the fiscal concessions extended by the Government.

' Vlll Power sector also received ‘a higher priority. ' Actual investment during the Seventh Plan is expected to be higher .than that was originally envisaged. The original size of the Plan was Rs. 5,750 Crores which represented a mark up of 82 per cent over the sixth plan outlay of Rs. 3,150 Crores.

  • Kodaiyar River Basin
    Kodaiyar River Basin Introduction One of the oldest systems in Tamil Nadu is the “Kodaiyar system” providing irrigation facilities for two paddy crop seasons in Kanyakumari district. The Kodaiyar system comprises the integrated operation of commands of two major rivers namely Pazhayar and Paralayar along with Tambaraparani or Kuzhithuraiyur in which Kodaiyar is a major tributary. The whole system is called as Kodaiyar system. Planning, development and management of natural resources in this basin require time-effective and authentic data.The water demand for domestic, irrigation, industries, livestock, power generation and public purpose is governed by socio – economic and cultural factors such as present and future population size, income level, urbanization, markets, prices, cropping patterns etc. Water Resources Planning is people oriented and resources based. Data relating to geology, geomorphology, hydrogeology, hydrology, climatology, water quality, environment, socio – economic, agricultural, population, livestock, industries, etc. are collected for analysis. For the sake of consistency, other types of data should be treated in the same way. Socio – economic, agricultural and livestock statistics are collected and presented on the basis of administrative units located within this basin area. Location and extent of Kodaiyar Basin The Kodaiyar river basin forms the southernmost end of Indian peninsula. The basin covers an area of 1646.964 sq km. The flanks of the entire basin falls within the TamilnaduState boundary. Tamiraparani basin lies on the north and Kodaiyar basin on the east and Neyyar basin of Kerala State lies on the west. This is the only river basin which has its coastal border adjoining the Arabian sea, the Indian Ocean in the south and the Gulf of Mannar in the east.

  • An Overview of the Water Resource Management in Kanniyakumari District
    © 2019 JETIR June 2019, Volume 6, Issue 6 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) AN OVERVIEW OF THE WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN KANNIYAKUMARI DISTRICT Dr. G. Pushparaj, Assistant Professor and Head, Department of History Udaya College of Arts & Science, Vellamodi, Kanniyakumari District - 629 204. Abstract Economic growth is the backbone of the welfare of every country and the primary sector that is agriculture is the most important in any economy in the sense that it provides food to its population and generates employment and income to a significant portion of its rural mass. However, agriculture mostly on irrigation and other water resources. Water is a prime natural resource, a basic human need and a precious national asset. The economic prosperity of a country is based on the development of water resources, particularly the river waters therein. The development of river water resources is primarily meant for the purpose of irrigation. Irrigation is an age old art, as old as civilization. Irrigation means the scientific application of the available water resource to obtain optimum crop output per unit of land. It includes such techniques as drainage, flood control and efficient water management. Scientifically executed irrigation works provide increasing rent to the land owner, enhance return to the cultivator, more employment opportunities and a desirable freedom from famine and drought. To the farming population, perfect irrigation guarantees secured supply, improved crop quality and increasing fertilizer efficiency and stabilized farm income. Further, successful water application assures production, favours intensive cropping and improves the water efficiency. In this article an effort has been made to study the water resource management systems that are followed in Kanniyakumari District.

We have been extracting energy, materials and organisms from nature and altering landscapes at a rate that cannot be a sustainable one. Our nature is an essential partnership; an 'essential', because each living species has its space and role', and performs an activity vital to the whole; a 'partnership', because the biological species or the living components of nature can only thrive together, because together they create a dynamic equilibrium. Nature is further a dynamic entity that never remains the same- that changes, that adjusts, that evolves; 'equilibrium', that is in spirit, balanced and harmonious. Nature, in fact, promotes evolution, radiation and diversity. The current biodiversity is an inherited vital resource to us, which needs to be carefully conserved for our future generations as it holds the key to the progress in agriculture, aquaculture, clothing, food, medicine and numerous other fields.
