Welcoming the announcement of a special kuruvai package this year too, Delta region farmers have sought the timely implementation of this scheme.
Pointing out that government orders in connection with the ₹61 crore special package scheme for kuruvai cultivation last season were issued immediately after the announcement was made by Chief Minister, M.K.Stalin in mid-June last year, the Delta farmers say they expect the same speed in the execution of this year’s ₹75.95 crore ‘kuruvai’ special package as well.
The scheme was announced by Chief Minister M. K. Stalin during the lifting of the shutters of the Mettur Dam for irrigation, on June 12.
