Tiruvannamalai, and Thandrampet blocks occupy first three positions in the district. Chengam, Thellar and Anakkavur blocks occupy last three positions in the district with negative growth. The probability of negative growth might be due to migration that cannot be neglected. The density of population of the district is 473 per sq.km, which is lower than State (555 per sq.km) and higher than the country (382 per sq.km). In a period of 10 years the population density is increased by 11.56 percent. Pudupalayam (284), Chengam (285) and Anakkavur (288) blocks have low- density of population.

But overall in the district the ST population has increased by 2.5 percent in 2011. There is a possibility of migration of ST population to the plains in the district, which needs to be studied. The decrease of SC population is very high in Pernamallur and , where as the increase is found in Chengam, Arni and Pudupalayam. Regarding ST population, the increase is found in Pudupalayam, Thandrampet and Polur and decrease is found high in Jawadhu Hills. The decrease of ST population is due to migration to nearby districts for seeking employment opportunities and implementation of family planning measures. The inter-block migration also takes place due to better education opportunities and employment.

29 CHPATER-III AVAILABILITY OF RESOURCES IN TIRUVANNAMALAI DISTRICT

3.1 Natural Resources Tamil Nadu, the Southernmost State of India, is one of India’s most progressive States and is among the top three States on several economic and social indicators. Tamil Nadu with a geographical area of 1 30,058 sq km is the eleventh largest State in the country and occupies 4 per cent of the total area. The State has been divided into seven agro climatic zones. Tamil Nadu consists of 33 districts, 385 blocks and 16682 revenue villages.

Tamil Nadu is the sixth most populated State with a density of 555 persons per sq. km (national average of 382). As per the Agricultural census of 2015-16, the number of operational landholders in the State is 79.38 lakh, operating operational area of 59.70 lakh hectares. Small and Marginal farmers are 11.19 Lakhs and 62.24 Lakhs constituting 14.10 per cent and 78.41 per cent respectively. The average size of operational landholding is 0.75 ha against the National average of 1.08 ha. The State contributes 11.60 per cent to India’s GDP, making it the second largest contributor to India’s GDP. Gross State Domestic Product at Constant Prices for the year 2016–17 is Rs. 14,45,227 cr and the per capita income at current price is Rs. 1,53,263. Agriculture continues to be the backbone of the State economy. It is an important hub for manufacturing industries, especially automotive, textiles and software. This chapter covers briefly about the availability of natural and other resources in the State of Tamil Nadu. Forest One sixth of the area of Tiruvannamalai district is covered by reserve forest. Hill ranges in the district forms part of Eastern Ghats under Jawadhu Hills. The important hills above the mean sea level in this district are Tiruvannamalai (2668 ft), Jawadhu hills (2500 ft) and Kailasagiri (2743 ft). This district has thick forest areas in Chengam and Polur taluks. The district has 79677.7 hectares of forest area which is about 14.8% to the total area of the entire district. The hilly areas of this district are “dry” deciduous type. In the low land, the ordinary vegetation like Tamarind trees, Teak wood, Sandal wood, Ven teak, Casurina, Bamboo etc. are the important trees in the district. Number of rare plant species are spread over the Tiruvannamalai hill. Of these, more than 50% of the species are used by the local people for various medicinal uses. Regarding fauna, some wild animals are found in the mountainous tracts. Bisons are seen in small numbers in Jawadhu Hill ranges and Tigers are

30 occasionally seen. Leopards, Black Bears, Hyena, Samburs, Spotted Deer, Jungle Sheep, Barking Deer, Antelopes, and Varieties of snakes including Cobras are spread over at different regions. The reserved forests in the district found with sandalwood, bamboos, herbal plants, tamarind trees, teakwood, Ven teak and casurina

3.1.1 Land Resources Tamil Nadu has about 5.96 percent of the Nation’s population, occupies 4 percent of the land area and has 3 percent of the water resources of the Nation. The demographic changes, economic growth and social development assisted by welfare measures would in the coming decades, exert strong and competing demands on the finite natural resources of the states, such as land, water, raw- materials, etc. In Tamil Nadu, the per capita availability of land is only 0.18 ha while the per capita net sown area is only 0.07 ha. Even though the share of agricultural sector in the State Domestic Product of Tamil Nadu has declined from about 52 percent to 18 percent between 1960-61 and 2007-08, and further to 8.2 percent during 2010-11, agriculture continues to be a major source of livelihood for the rural people. Agriculture still employs about 40 percent of the workforce in the State. As a basic input for agriculture, land occupies a predominant position among all the resources required for a modern economy.

Competition between agricultural and non-agricultural sectors for land is intensifying due to the increasing pressure on land for food production, housing and industrial expansion. Between 1960-61 and 2009-10 the total cultivated area in Tamil Nadu decreased from 7.32 million ha to 5.57 million ha and the net sown area has decreased from about 6 million ha to 4.90 million ha during the same period. However, this reduction in cropped area has been compensated by the increase in productivity of crops so that higher production has been possible. As per the data provided by the revenue authority during data collection for village directory and town directory, the total area of the district is 631205 hectares. The following table explains the land use pattern in the district during 2017-18 Land Utilization (Area in Hecares)

Tamil Nadu constitutes 4 percent of India’s land area and is inhabited by 6 percent of India’s population, and has only 2.5 percent of India’s water resources. More than 95 percent of the surface water and 80 percent of the ground water have already been put into use. Major uses of water include human/animal consumption, irrigation and industrial use. The rivers flowing in the district are Pennaiyar and Kamandala River. Sathanur dam is the major dam constructed across middle Pennaiyar River Basin among Chennakesava Hills in the district. Canals, wells, tanks and reservoirs are the sources of irrigation in the district. Several plans and schemes have been introduced for uninterrupted water supply for domestic and economic activities. Few Schemes to enhance the water supply in the district are as follows: • Combined Water Supply Scheme (CWSS): More than one local body are involved which consists of assistance from Minimum Needs Program, National Rural Drinking Water program and financial assistance from institutions like TUFIDCO, TNUIFSL, NABARD and ADB. • HDPE linings of major canals: High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) linings are being implemented by the state government to limit the transmission loss. Irrigation sources There are 1361 minor irrigation tanks in the district of which 1012 are rainfed tanks and remaining are system tanks managed by Public Works Department. They irrigate 24919.53 ha of ayacut areas. 953 tanks are already taken up by PWD for improving the functioning of the tanks.

32 Sathanur Dam Sathanur Dam is one of the major dam constructed across Pennaiyar River. The dam can be reached by road 30 km from Tiruvannamalai Town. This Dam was constructed during the year 1958. A large Crocodile farm and a fish grotta is maintained here. Sathanur Dam is constructed across the Thenpennai River in Chengam Taluk among Chennakesava Hills. It has a capacity of 7321 million cubic feet (Full level 119 feet). An area of 7183 hec. of Land is benefited by the left bank canal and 905 hec. of land is benefited by the right bank canal in Thandrampet and Tiruvannamalai Blocks. This is one of the best picnic place in the District. A beautiful garden with colorful statues has been developed. This garden is one of the famous cine shooting spot in South India. This 786.37m Dam is 44.81m high and can store 7,321,000,000 cu ft or 207,300,000 cubic meters of water. A scenic park is also present adjacent to this dam. The average rainfall of the Tiruvannamalai district was 1234.1 mm. Season wise, south west monsoons received 34 per cent, north east monsoon received 48 per cent, winter season received five per cent and summer season received 13 per cent of the total annual rainfall. Since the State is entirely dependent on rains for recharging its water resources, monsoon failures lead to acute water scarcity and severe droughts.

Share of the total members of workers in total labour force, however, had witnessed a decline from 69.70 percent to 68.84 percent, indicating that there was a reduction in the employment absorptive capacity of the economy or there was a preference to pursue higher education or both. As a result, the proportion of persons who are not working in the State increased from 30.30 percent to 31.16 percent. All the things considered, the rate of growth of labour force exceeds the rate of growth of work force besides the absolute numbers.

3.7.2 Work Participation Rate The working population in Tamil Nadu increased from 27.88 million in 2001 Census to 32.88 million in 2011 Census witnessing an annual compound growth rate of 1.18 percent. The Work Participation Rate (WPR) i.e., the proportion of workers to total population in Tamil Nadu edged up from 44.7

41 percent in 2001 to 45.6 percent in 2011. The ratio at the All India level during the corresponding period was lower at 39.1 percent and 39.8 percent respectively. Across the districts, the work participation rate was found to be the lowest at 36.3 percent in Kanyakumari despite the fact that the district had the highest literacy level. It was the highest at 53.1 percent in Erode as per 2011 Census. This was the case irrespective of rural and urban segments. The Work Participation Rate rural areas were higher than that of urban areas. However, with regard to the pace of increase, it was greater in urban than in rural areas. The work participation rate in rural Tamil Nadu marginally increased from 50.3 percent in 2001 to a share of 50.7 percent in 2011, whereas it rose from 37.5 percent to 40.2 percent in urban respectively. The Census of India defines work as ‘participation in any economically productive activity with or without compensation’. The workers are classified as main worker and marginal workers. The main workers are those who have worked for the major part of the reference period (i.e. 6 months or more). Marginal workers are those who have not worked for the major part of the reference period (i.e. less than 6 months). The share of workers, main, and marginal workers to the total population clearly indicates the economic conditions of a given area. In Tiruvannamalai district, agriculture is the main source of bread for a large share of households. It is the major source of employment and seasonal. While looking at the trend, the percentage of total workers in Tiruvannamalai has increased from 48.99 percent to 50.23 percent during 2001 – 2011. It shows a positive trend in employment in the district, which is due to the increase in proportion of main workers from 36.87 percent to 39.36 percent and reduction of marginal workers from 12.11 percent to 10.88 percent. This might be due to creation of additional employment in the primary sector and secondary sector. Overall the work participation rate in the district is higher than Tamil Nadu which is 44.7 in 2011. The percentage of non-workers has reduced from 51.01 to 49.77 but the absolute number is increased during the decade. Overall the increase in workers is due to increase of main workers in the district. Over all, the work participation rate has increased during the decade (2001-11), but the increase is very marginal (2.24%), more over the marginal workers rate is stabilized (at 10.88%) and main workers rate is increased by 2.48 percent. There is a need for increasing employment opportunities so that the work participation rate can be increased particularly the main workers category as it has direct relation to income and poverty which is due to increase in the percentage of main workers, reduction in the marginal workers percentage and creation of additional employment in the primary and secondary sector.

3.7.3 Employment, Income and Poverty ▪ Employment, income and poverty are three interrelated factors that contribute in defining the quality of life which has greater influence on the human development of the communities living in a particular country or region.

42 ▪ Three sectors namely primary, secondary and tertiary sector create employment opportunities and the average per capita income provided by the primary sector is significantly lower than that of the other two sectors. ▪ The overall WPR is higher than Tamil Nadu, which is 44.7 percent. The increase in WPR among males and females is observed both in rural and urban areas but by 1 percent in rural and 3 percent in urban which is due to urbanisation and increased employment opportunities in the secondary sector. ▪ The Inter-block variations show that Jawadhu Hills ranks first with high WPR of 57.03 percent and Tiruvannamalai block ranks 18th with WPR of 42.67 percent. ▪ All urbanized blocks fall under bottom five category with WPR of less than 49 percent and top five rural blocks were with WPR of 54 percent . ▪ The Child Labour is found in the block which needs attention from the district administration. ▪ The per capita income of the district, which was Rs. 24,711 in 2005-06, has increased to Rs 41,569 in 2012 and average growth rate of the district 9.65 which is slightly higher than the State average of 9.52. Compared to the State, the per capita income is better, growth over a decade is though lesser than the State but closer to the State figure. Among the districts, Tiruvannamalai ranks 26th in its per capita income in 2011-12, this indicates the level of poverty in the district. ▪ The contribution from the primary sector to district Gross District Domestic Product has been declining over the years due to higher productivity and production in non-agricultural sectors. The agriculture accounted for 17.67percent of Gross District Domestic Product in 2005-06, it accounts only for 13.57 percent in 2011-12. On the other hand, the share of the secondary and tertiary sectors also shows decreasing trend in growth rate (2011-2012). ▪ The sector-wise Gross Domestic Product shows that the growth rate is lower than the State with regard to the Tertiary sector, whereas the growth rate is better than the State in Primary and Secondary sector over a period of six years from 2005-06 to 2010-11. ▪ It shows that the area under cultivation is shrinking and the service sector has scope to improve its performance as the district has pilgrimage and tourist places. The industrial sector shows growth and significant contribution to GDDP. ▪ The wage rate is found to be very low across the blocks particularly the female wage rate which needs to be given special attention. ▪ Jawadhu Hills need special focus on all dimensions of poverty and in particular with regard to creation of access to cooking fuel, toilet facilities and housing to promote better improvement in human development. ▪ Distribution of workers across the sectors though skill building, promoting tourism based livelihoods and employment opportunities in the textile industries to increase the per capita income in the district The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the nation or the region is highly influenced by the contribution of secondary and tertiary sectors. This chapter

43 details the employment, income and poverty status of the Tiruvannamalai district, their inter relation and influence on human development in the district.

3.8 Availability of Credit Facilities The banking network in the State, as on 31 March 2018, comprised 21 Public Sector Banks, 20 Private Sector Banks & 12 Foreign Banks with a total network of 9994 branches, 2 RRBs with 618 branches, Tamil Nadu State Apex Cooperative Bank (TNStCB) with 23 affiliated District Central Cooperative Banks (DCCBs) and TNSCARDB. (Source: SLBC) The Primary Urban Cooperative Banks, Non-banking financial companies and the latest entrants’ viz., Payment Banks and Small Finance Banks also cater to the credit needs and infrastructure development, thus aiding in boosting the State’s economy. Other Financial Intermediaries in the form of Primary Agriculture Cooperative Societies (PACS), Marketing Societies and Business Correspondents also play an important role in reaching out to the otherwise inaccessible hamlets cater to the increasing financial needs of the population. There are 4,474 PACS in the State affiliated to 22 DCCBs with a membership of 1.37 cr engaged in disbursement of credit for agricultural activities. Of the 11,531 branches in the State, 3187 branches are located in rural areas catering to the rural population of 3,72,29,590. The population per rural branch is thus 11,682 or 8.6 branches per 1 lakh rural population which is fairly better as against the all India average of 7.8 branches per 1 lakh rural population (or population per rural branch is around 12,800)., with a branch network of 1,135 branches is the Convener of State Level Bankers Committee (SLBC), which acts as a consultative body to discuss issues and suggest measures / solutions for effective banking implementation. SLBC is assisted by 32 Lead District Managers functioning at the district level. 3.9. Financial Institutions Banking services perform a key role in improving the economic condition of the people. It is the main tool for human development in terms of offering credit services with low interest rate and enhances secure livelihood, higher education, and helped in creating employment opportunities among the poor. Infrastructure Human Development Report 131 The current decade witnessed the ‘self-help groups’ movement across Tamil Nadu. Various stakeholders like non Government organizations (NGOs), bankers, the district administration, and the State Government took various initiatives in promoting women’s self-help groups (SHGs) considering it as a tool for development by providing access to credit facilities and other banking services to the mass, particularly the women. The district data shows that 155 co-operative societies with 4,95,233 holders and 132 banks are functioning with 7,41,939 account holders. After the introduction of the financial inclusion programme in 2007, there has been a significant increase in households availing bank services in both rural and urban areas of the district. Tiruvannamalai being a city has the highest number of commercial banks (11) with 1.75 lakhs of account holders exists in the area. Vembakkam, Jawadhu hills, Pudhupalayam and Vandhavasi have lower number of banks but

44 account holders seem to be more. But in the case of Peranamallur block only eight commercial banks exist with minimum number of coverage of 7,245 account holders. On the other hand, the rural-urban disparity in terms of percentage of coverage will be there in availing banking services. The Reserve and National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development steer the process of financial inclusion through financial literacy, Know Your Customer Services, Opening of No Frill Savings Bank Account, Bio Metric system for secure banking transactions, remittance facilities, simplified documentation procedures for accessing banking services, flexible lending and repayment systems, exclusive bank branches for dealing financial matters with SHGs, Kissan Card System, reaching households in remote areas through banking correspondents and banking facilitators system and encouraging SHG- Bank Linkage through Cash Credit system for easy access of banking services by the poor people. The NGOs are playing critical role to reach of banking services to the poor people. 3.10. Literacy & Education Literacy is one of the indicators of Human Development Index to understand the level of knowledge and communication of the people in the country or region. Lack of educational Summary and Way Forward Human Development Report 141 acess and illiteracy can lead to poverty. Literacy enables the people to acquire knowledge and it promotes self-confidence in them to identify opportunities and decide the choices for bettering their lives. Literacy and education is a tool for building the capability of the people to handle the choices. The literacy rate (73.36 percent) in the district in general and gender wise in particular is progressing well. Particularly the female literacy (63.37 percent) and girls enrolment show a positive trend. Growth rate of female literacy is found to be higher than the male in almost all the blocks and overall in the district. Most of the urbanised blocks perform well in the literacy rates. ▪ Gross enrolment is more than 100 percent in all blocks at the primary level, but upper primary, higher and higher secondary level needs attention. Jawadhu Hills needs special attention with regard to drop out (24.12 percent), completion rate (80.85 percent), transition rates (50.70 percent) and access to schooling. In most of the schools infrastructure particularly toilet facilities (59.49 percent schools do not have toilet facilities) are found to be an issue in both the boys’ and girls’ schools. Though there are good number of arts and science colleges and professional colleges, one needs to study the access to higher education among the rural children. There are good number of polytechnic institutes present, but again access, employability and access to further studies in the engineering colleges need to be studied. The pupil-teacher ratio seems to be good compared to the State and the nation, but still one needs to study for its connectivity with the basic infrastructure facility which might in turn cause the drop out or non-enrolment of children in the schools.

45 Hostel facilities are made available for different communities to ensure continuity of the education by the children from poor families. However one needs to understand whether all the eligible students have got the access for residential facilities.

3.11. Human Development Status ▪ Human Development is all about creation of choices and opportunities and build the capabilities of the people to utilise the opportunities and exercise the choices for their well being. ▪ The Central and State Governments play greater role in providing basic amenities and other welfare programmes to ensure the reach of benefits to the needy. They also make interventions time to time to provide access to different services and benefits through district administration. ▪ The recent introduction of State Balanced Growth Fund is one of the opportunities for the district administration to address the human development gaps and challenges through innovative development projects. ▪ The Human Development Index has been computed based on the three dimensions such as health, education and standard of living and found inter- block variations. It is a positive index. ▪ Out of 18 blocks, Thellar ranks first with 0.92 and Jawadhu Hills ranks 18 with 0.37 which shows high disparity among the blocks. Vandavasi and Thellar fall under the top three categories, and in all the three indices such as standard of living, health and education it performs better than the other blocks. Surprisingly Jawadhu Hills falls in the bottom three blocks and ranks 18th (lowest) among the blocks, but tops better in health index (0.78) ▪ The people cultivate and consume small millets and traditional food grains which are found to be nutrient rich might be one of the reasons for better health conditions. ▪ Regarding Gender Inequality Index, which is a negative index, Peranmallur block performs better under top three categories with 0.01 and Chetpet ranks 18th with high inequality of 0.11. ▪ The population growth rate is 12.75 percent and kept under control due to better family Summary and Way Forward 140 Tiruvannamalai District planning initiatives by the district administration. ▪ The Crude Birth Rate is lower than the State and the nation which is an indicator for keeping the population growth under control. ▪ The sex ratio is better at 994 compare to the nation (940). The IMR is lower than the State, but across the blocks there are huge variations found. MMR also to be addressed where it is more in Jawadhu Hills, Vandavasi, West Arni. The still birth rate is found to be in a declining trend which is positive and 100 percent immunization is also ensured for the children in all the blocks by the district administration. ▪ Regarding the Child Development is concerned the major issue is found to be in Jawadhu Hiils. Child sex ratio is also very low (857) which are alarming one and low in general sex ratio 960.

46 ▪ Malnourished children in the district is fairly high (29.58 percent) and very high in Jawadhu Hiils (41.69 percent) which needs greater attention from the district administration. ▪ The performance with regard to IFA tablets distribution is less than 50 percent as far the women are concerned, but it is more than 90 percent with adolescent girls which shows a positive trend in the district. Prevalence of anaemia is found to be high among the pregnant women, which needs to be further reduced through appropriate behavioural change process and initiatives towards healthcare practices. ▪ In the district, 97.61 percent of the habitations have access to safe water but the access to sanitation is found to be low with 55.86 percent only. Two blocks – Thandrampet and Anakkavur perform very poor in accessing sanitation facilities. ▪ In the district prevalence of HIV/AIDS and TB is found which needs special attention to reduce and eradicate completely. ▪ Though there are different healthcare programmes and services provided by the district administration, the inter block variations needs to be given attention to ensure equity in accessing the Government services and programmes for achieving good health for all particularly the children, adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating mothers and under five children.

3.12 SWOT ANALYSIS OF THE DISTRICT Tiruvannamalai district is mainly depending on Agriculture. It is industrially backward and about 70 per cent of the population depends on Agriculture for livelihood. The major crops are Paddy, Groundnut, Pulses, Millets, and Sugarcane and horticultural crops like tapioca, vegetables and flowers. It is benefited by both south west and North East Monsoon. The general climate is tropical. The credit needs of the farming community are met by the Primary Agricultural Cooperative Banks and 62 commercial banks situated in the district. Marketing of Agricultural products like Paddy, Groundnut and Pulses were carried out by the District Marketing Committee with 16 regulated markets spread over the district. Dairy and sericulture are the other income generating activities in the District (with 739 milk societies 2.6 lakhs liter of milk/ day and nearly 356 ha are covered under mulberry cultivation). Strength • Predominant soil type is red loamy & black. It is highly suitable for paddy, groundnut and pulses cultivation • Prevailing climate is highly suitable for paddy, groundnut and pulse cultivation. Groundnut and pulses are being cultivated in rain fed as well as in irrigated conditions • The cropping system (paddy- groundnut, paddy –pulses) followed in the district enriches the soil and maintain soil fertility • Well organized marketing system through regulated markets. Weakness • Timely planting, weeding and harvesting are the major problems due to labour scarcity. • Availability of certified seeds are very low • Use of low cost inputs like bio- fertilizers and gypsum are very low • Timely sowing in dry land is very difficult due to non availability of sufficient work animals and labourers. • Low awareness on IPM

47 concept and INM techniques (use of bio fertilizer DAP Spraying and application of gypsum) Threats • Migration of people towards urban areas hinders the agricultural growth • Problem soils (alkaline soils) are one of the major problem in Arni, Polur and Tiruvannamalai blocks • Over exploitation of ground water is also noticed in this distrsict. • Farming is unattractive mainly because of increased input cost, poor credit availability, labour problems and non remunerative returns while disposing the harvested produce. Opportunities • Mechanization and labour saving implements will help to reduce the labour shortage • The rehabilitation and development of tanks will help to increase the area under assured irrigation facility • The precision farming and contract farming will go a long way to improve the returns considerably to the farmers • Seed production can be achieved through seed village programme • The small, tiny and medium sized industries in this district can be utilised to their full potential to reap the maximum benefits. • Soil and water conservation work will help to increase the ground water potential.

48 CHAPTER-IV INFRASTRUCTURAL FACILITIES IN TIRUVANNAMALAI DISTRICT 4.0 INTRODUCTION Infrastructure plays an important role in human development. The infrastructure can be either private like a house or public in nature. Major public infrastructural facilities are road and telecommunication, electrification, Public Distribution System and banking services. Social infrastructure like self help groups (SHG) also plays a crucial role in achieving human development through building social capital and taking up economic activities. Mobility of the people across the areas is increased for improving their economic condition due to improved infrastructure facilities such as roads and communication. Infrastructure plays a crucial role in ensuring the reach of Government services to the needy people in remote areas, better marketing of the products, easy access to communication, bettering the education status and more importantly provides opportunities for the people to make informed choices with regard to employment, education, health and other basic services. This chapter focuses on the status of different types of infrastructure and their role (road, railways, electricity, transport and communication) in the economic development which has a direct impact or implication on human development. Today, Tamil Nadu has emerged as the Second largest state economy following which has a much larger area and population. Tamil Nadu is ranked first among Indian states in terms of exporting and operational SEZs. During the year 2015-16, exports from SEZs in Tamil Nadu was Rs.82, 717 crore. Infrastructure Infrastructure is the basic physical and organizational structures needed for the operation of a society or enterprise, or the services and facilities necessary for an economy to function. It can be generally defined as the set of interconnected structural elements that provide the frame work supporting an entire structure of development. It is an important term for judging a country or region's development ▪ Infrastructure plays an important role in human development. It can be public or private related to road, telecommunications, electrifications, public distribution system and banking and insurance services. The district has varied disparity in presence of road facility. ▪ The Jawadhu Hills has the lowest road infrastructure of 97 roads with 128.4 sq.km. Tiruvannamalai and Thandrampet have 533.44 sq km and 530.47 sq.km length of roads. Thandrampet has highest length of mud road with 240.99 sq.km and also 263.89 sq.km of BT road. It shows better access to road facilities in the district except Jawadhu Hills block. ▪ The electricity services was only 69 percent in the district as per DHDR 2007, of Tiruvannamalai district which also showed the status of 14 villages had to be electrified to achieve 100 percent electrification. As per Census 2011, it was found that the district has reached 93.33 percent in electrifying the households in the district.

49 ▪ Regarding the street lights, the percentage of street lights with the population data shows that Summary and Way Forward 144 Tiruvannamalai District lowest percentage of electrification is observed in Thellar (17.99 percent) and Anakkavur blocks (19.45 percent). Tiruvannamalai is better with 52.46 percent followed by Polur with 44.46 percent. Jawadhu Hills performs better with 40.20 percent electrification. Overall the district performs better in electrifying the households. ▪ Regarding the telecommunications, except Kalasappakkam taluk, other taluks perform better in accessing telecommunication services. ▪ Financial services are provided by 155 cooperatives with the membership of 495,233 and 132 commercial bank branches with 741,939 account holders. After introducing financial inclusion concept there is a significant increase in number of households accessing banking services. ▪ Tiruvannamalai block shows the highest number of bank branches with large number of account holders where the lowest is found in Pudupalayam, Jawadhu Hills, Vembakkam and Vandavasi. ▪ It seems to be rural and urban disparity in the district which needs to be addressed by strengthening the SHG movement. The district has to do a lot with insurance particularly for the rural masses through banks and SHGs. ▪ It can also focus on designing appropriate livestock insurance and crop insurance to protect the farming families from the risks of death of animals, low yield and income. But there were variations across the blocks regarding roads. Specific reasons for the poor performance in the blocks like Jawadhu hill, Polur, and Kalasapakkam can be identified and based on that necessary interventions, need to be planned. With such targeted interventions the district can easily attain appreciable levels of road infrastructure. Poor quality of roads is a widespread problem and it is usually not reported. There should be a system for continuous monitoring of quality of roads and for timely action. As mentioned above the local bodies can be given the responsibility for this task for village roads. The penetration of banking services, insurance and telephone services to be improved. As far as insurance is concerned much need to be done to make it serve as an important instrument for poverty reduction in various spheres of life and thereby making it significantly contribute to human development. Intensive insurance education needs to be given with the specific focus to rural areas along with designing suitable insurance products for various sections of the population. The banks should take necessary steps to reach the currently unreached households. Self Help Groups as a social capital can be strengthened to access different financial services from banks and insurance companies. The district administration can take up initiatives to intensify livestock insurance and crop insurance to protect the farming families from the risks of low yield and reduced income, which never gets reported in the district. Initiatives to be taken in making available financial products that are attractive to a large section of the population. Still various measures have to be taken in improving the infrastructure of the district so that the quality of the life of the people and the economic condition of the families could be improved.

50 4.1 Roads The total road length in the district is 5768 kms in 51 percent of them covered by Bituminous roads followed by mud road of 30 percent and Cement road covers the least of 3.09 percent and WBM occupies 15.4 percent of the road. But the district data doesn’t show Saralai types of road which is commonly seen in villages. The analysis of block wise road infrastructure indicates that there is greater disparity among the blocks of Tiruvanamalai district in the case of road infrastructure. The block of Thandrampet had the highest length of mud road (192.54 sq.km) followed by Kalasapakkam, and Polur. Lowest road infrastructure among all the block is Jawadhu Hills, which seems to have poor access to road facilities as it is a hilly block and it has less access to bituminous road where the length is very low (56 sq.km). In addition to this, the blocks of Thandrampet and Pudupalayam also exhibited a low level of road infrastructure. Water Bound Macadam (WBM) road length was higher in Tiruvanamalai 125.20 km and lower in Vembakkan (17.69 km). When looking at Cement concrete (CC) road length, Kalasapakkam had the highest road length followed by Polur and Thurinjapuram. The given table shows that Thiruvannamali seems to have better access of road infrastructure and specific focus needs to be given to improve road infrastructure in Polur and Jawadhu Hills. The district administration has taken initiatives to benefit the villages which do not have road access otherwise. During the year 2013-14, eight new routes were introduced which benefitted 36 new villages and 48,000 village people got benefitted by adding 22 new buses. As on date, the district has 261 routes and 4692 roads with the length of 5768.286 kms. This would have greater impact on people by enhancing their mobility. National Highways No. 66 and 234 are passing through this district. State Highways No. SH4, SH-4A, SH-5, SH-6, SH-6A, SH-115, SH-215 are some of the important highways in this district. Types of Road Length (in Km) National Highways 70 State Highways 398.5 Corporation & Municipal Road 128.52 Panchayat Union & Panchayat Road 3869.88 Special Panchayat& Township Roads 202.73 Source: District Statistical Handbook

4.2 Ports Tiruvannamalai district does not have any port and Chennai is nearest port available for Tiruvannamalai district. Tamil Nadu has the second longest coast line (1076 km) in India, with 4 large ports connecting the State with trade centers across the world. Notable fact is the investments by internationally

51 renowned terminal operators in like DP World and Ports of Authority (PSA). Also international PE funds like 3i, GIC, Eton park, Jacob Ballas, Standard Chartered PE, Warbug Pincus have invested in the Tamil Nadu ports. Chennai is the only city to have 3 modern ports with Container handling capacity 5.7 Million TEUs.

4.3 Power Sector The State has an installed capacity of around 30 GW in FY 2017 (11.8 % of India’s total) and it is a power surplus State. Unique feature of the Tamil Nadu State power is that around 39.6% of the power requirement is met by renewable energy source. Hydroelectric station built on Sathanur dam generates 7.5 MW of electricity for the district. Rest power Transmission in the district is being done by Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Ltd. (TANGEDCO) and Tamil Nadu Transmission Corporation Ltd. (TANTRANSCO) with the supervision of Tamil Nadu Electricity Board Ltd. (TNEB).

4.3.1 Electricity Lack of electrification is also an indicator of various dimensions of poverty as it is negatively influencing the current living condition of the households and also the future well being of the people through hampering education of the children. As per District Human Development Report of Tiruvanamalai in 2007, 69 percent of the total villages in the district of Tiruvannamalai was electrified and another 14 villages in this district need to be electrified to achieve the 100 per cent electrification of the villages in Tiruvanamalai. The electrification is found to be better in all the blocks. The coverage of population per street light is found to be better in Thellar (17.99percent) and Anakkavur (19.45 percent). Tiruvanamalai seems to be focused by providing adequate street facilities as the coverage of population is 52 per street light followed by Polur and Jawadhu hills with 44 persons and 40 persons respectively. Being the remote village and hill terrain, these two blocks need to be given additional electrification to ensure the benefit for all. The percentage of revenue villages also show better improvement of street lights placed in the villages. Arni and West Arni seem to have more street lights per revenue village benefitting 27 – 37 people per light which is moderate. The district administration has to focus on Jawadhu hills, Peranamallur, Chetpet, Anakkavur, Cheyyar and Vembakkam. So, in general on this front, the district had fared well and with minimum investment it can easily claim to be a 100 per cent electrified district. The Hydro-Electric Power and Thermal Power Stations provide electricity need to the district. As per rural electrification of 2010-11, 1067 villages, 2526 hamlets, 175214 agricultural pump sets and all towns were electrified in the district. The power is purchased of 81.36 M.W.U. during 2017- 18 by Cheyyar Co-Operative Sugar Mill, Dharani Sugar Mill, Bannari Amman

52 Sugars Ltd. and Global Power Tech Equipment Ltd, M/s Shapooriji pallonji solar PV Private LTd. in the district.

There are three stations having transformer capacity of 230KV, and 20 station having transformer capacity of 110KV and 49 substation having transformer capacity of 33KV in the Tiruvannamalai district for electricity distribution.

4.4 Urban Infrastructure Tamil Nadu is the most urbanized State in India with 48.5% of the population in urban areas. Besides Chennai, which is a designated metropolitan city; Trichy, Madurai, Coimbatore, Salem and are large .

4.4.1 Communication system Communication is an effective tool which has rapidly increased in today’s world. Wide usage of the phone has increased the portfolio of trade and business and we could see the development in other sectors. Communication becomes the vital tool in connecting the people for socioeconomic reasons. Residential telephone was considered as a household amenity of the affluent a decade earlier. Telephones that way do not stop with serving as a communication device, but go beyond that by serving many other purposes like a tool for livelihood. A decade ago, usage of public booths and office landline services were more, but now usage of cell phones is widely increased in and around the world. Villages are also having this access which has increased the business portfolio also. But as the data could not provide cellular services here we are, looking about the usage of landline connections only. The district data

53 during 2017-18 shows that there are 62 exchanges providing 18409 numbers of landline connections and equipped with the capacity of 44458 lines. Taluk wise data shows that, except the Kalasapakkam rest of the 7 taluks showed good progress in communication.

4.4.2 Transport Facilities Tiruvannamalai district came into existence on 30th September 1989 after the bifurcation of the erstwhile North Arcot District. The temple at Tiruvannamalai is one of the biggest and the grandest temples in South India. As it is a temple town, commuting of people is more in the city especially during Girivalam. The number of buses operated in the district is 549 which carry about 326000 passengers every day. There are eight railway stations with broad gauge and meter gauge in the district. Rail transport is poor in the district. The district has a broad gauge route from Madurai to Katpadi passing through Tiruvannamalai. There are 7 railway stations which covers the route of Tiruvannamalai, Polur, Kannamangalam and Arani. The railway track covers a distance of 93 kms. There were 12830 commercial vehicles and 198504 non-commercial vehicles registered in 2009-10. On the infrastructure front, the district had fared well in the case of roads and electrification of villages. The district administration needs to be appreciated for improvement in above mentioned public infrastructure. The recent efforts to identify infrastructural needs and planning for the same at the village level through various schemes are a very positive move.

4.5 Insurance Access to insurance is also one of the risk improvement measures to people especially to the poor. Insurance plays a major role in protecting livelihoods from sudden and unexpected losses and thereby giving continuity to livelihoods, even after the incidence of accidents and other such situations. It is also an instrument to any individual or business who can use them strategically to protect them from adversities. In the district, the penetration had been poor as depicted by the data given above. The number of policies was nowhere closer to the need. In the district 23 branches were offering insurance services through LIC -4, Oriental -, United India – 5 and New India Assurance -13. Branches of Postal Life Insurance (PLI) seems to be more (462) covering 23,071 policies in 2017-18 and at present 13,130 policies. The reach of New India Assurance is more in the district in 2017-18 whereas in LIC policies. Even the number of policies taken does not reflect the reality as many policy holders enrolled in insurance for income tax reasons. As the demand was low, the number of branches was also low. Insurance education is very much essential to improve the dissemination of various insurance products.

CHAPTER-XII VARIOUS POLICIES AND NEW INITIATIVES OF GOVERNMENT OF INDIA

MSMEs are significantly present in all States and UTs; and they are the second largest employer after agriculture in the country. These enterprises have supported inclusive growth and development across the country thereby reducing the regional imbalances. Thus the Government India has always laid utmost emphasis on the MSME sector. Some of the policies introduced for the benefit of this sector are as follows: 12.1 Govt of India’s Support and Outreach Initiative for MSME Sector A special Support and Outreach Initiative for MSME Sector was launched by Hon’ble Prime Minister on 02nd November 2018 to ensure strengthening of the MSME sector in India. As part of this programme, 12 key initiatives which will help the growth, expansion and facilitation of MSMEs across the country, were unveiled. These initiatives span the key aspects for facilitating the MSME sector, viz. , access to credit, access to market, technology upgradation, ease of doing business, and a sense of security for employees. 12.1.1Access to Credit • Launch of the 59 minute loan portal to enable easy access to credit for MSMEs: In principle approval of loans upto Rs. 1 crore can be granted through this portal, in just 59 minutes. Portal link is available through GST Portal. • Two percent interest subvention for all GST registered MSMEs, on fresh or incremental loans, has been introduced. For exporters who receive loans in the pre-shipment and post-shipment period, an increase in interest rebate from 3 % to 5 % has been announced. • It has been mandated that all the companies with a turnover more than Rs. 500 crore must compulsorily be brought on the Trade Receivables e-Discounting System (TReDS). Joining this portal will enable entrepreneurs to access credit from banks, based on their upcoming receivables and hence, this will resolve their problems of cash cycle. 12.1.2 Access to Markets • The mandatory procurement requirement for the Public sector companies from the MSMEs has been increased from 20% to 25% of their total purchases. • For the CPSUs, out of the 25% procurement mandated from MSMEs, 3% has been reserved for women entrepreneurs. • It has been made mandatory for all public sector undertakings of the Union Government to compulsorily be a part of GeM and also try to

MSME-DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE CHENNAI Page 119

DISTRICT INDUSTRIAL PROFILE - TIRUVANNAMALAI 2019-20

get all their vendors registered on GeM. (As of now, more than 1.5 lakh suppliers have registered with GeM, out of which 40,000 are MSMEs, thus resulting in transactions of worth more than Rs. 14,000 crore through GeM) 12.1.3 Technology Upgradation • Since tool rooms across the country are a vital part of product design, under this Special package of Rs. 6000 Crore, 20 hubs and 100 spokes in the form of tool rooms will be established across the country. 12.1.4 Ease of Doing Business • It has been announced that clusters will be formed for Pharma MSMEs and 70% of the cost of establishing these clusters will be borne by the Union Government. • In order to simplify the Government procedures, it has been decided that the return under 8 labour laws and 10 Union regulations must now be filed only once a year. • To simplify the Government procedures, computerised random allotment has been introduced for deciding the establishments to be visited by Inspectors. • The two mandatory clearances required by an entrepreneur to establish a unit, namely, environmental clearance and consent to establish, have been merged as a single consent under the air pollution and water pollution laws. Further, the return for the same will be accepted through self-certification. • An Ordinance has been promulgated to enable entrepreneurs to correct the minor violations under the Companies Act through simple procedures rather than to approach courts.

12.1.5 Social Security for MSME Sector Employees Govt. of India has also made an announcement to launch a mission to ensure that MSME Sector employees have Jan Dhan Accounts, provident fund and insurance, to ensure their social security.

12.2 GeM- Government e-Marketplace Public procurement forms a very important part of Government activity and Government e-Marketplace (GeM) is a concrete step of the Government with the aim to transform the way in which procurement of goods and services is done by the Government Ministries/Departments, PSUs, autonomous bodies etc.

MSME-DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE CHENNAI Page 120

DISTRICT INDUSTRIAL PROFILE - TIRUVANNAMALAI 2019-20

GeM is a completely paperless, cashless and system driven e-market place that enables procurement of common use goods and services with minimal human interface. It is a technology driven platform to facilitate procurement of goods and services by various Ministries and agencies of the Government.
