Called as Kalpavriksha, the tree of life, tree of heaven and tree of abundance is one of the major crops in Coimbatore district, which is the largest producer of coconut in Tamil Nadu. COODU, implementing, among others, watershed development projects in association with NABARD, Department of Agriculture, DRDAs and allied sectors since the year 1995 in Tamil Nadu, was approached by MARICO, the leading consumer products company in India with business reach in Asia and Africa, in August, 2018, under its CSR initiative to provide support to coconut farmers in terms of augmentation of production and productivity of coconut palms in Coimbatore district. Strategy: Select a drought prone area and conduct a survey of farmers willing to participate and contribute to the project. Assess the need of farmers and implement the project on short term basis with contribution from farmers. Build the capacity of farmers in knowledge and skills on water management, soil and moisture conservation and intervention measures.
