TN bets on locals to scale up revival of mangroves
The New Indian Express
|September 24, 2025
Initiative by TN-SHORE with 1.7K crore funding from World Bank
-Â
TAMIL NADU is turning to its coastal communities to lead one of India's most ambitious mangrove revival programmes.
Backed by âč1,675 crore in World Bank funding under the TNStrengthening Coastal Resilience and the Economy (TNSHORE) project, the state has rolled out a community procurement plan that places local people at the center of decisionmaking and execution.
For the first time, funds earmarked for mangrove plantation, restoration and bioshields will flow directly into village council accounts. Currently, 34 Village Mangrove Councils (VMCS) have been constituted across 10 districts, with more being registered. Each council manages procurement through purchase, planning and monitoring committees, overseen by forest officials. This system ensures transparency, annual budgeting, and independent monitoring, a key requirement under World Bank norms.
