Survey flags need for social security net for agri workers, precision farming
The New Indian Express Tirunelveli
|March 14, 2025
THE economic survey of the Tamil Nadu government for the year 2024-25 released on Thursday stressed the need for key interventions in agriculture and allied sectors, especially in areas like integrated farming, agro-silvo-pastoralism (integrating livestock farming with agriculture), precision farming, the development of hybrid drought-tolerant seeds, reducing post-harvest losses, and importantly establishing a social security net for rural landless labourers.
The survey further said agriculture remains highly dependent on the monsoon and groundwater availability, making climate resilience a critical priority. The sector must integrate climate-smart practices, mechanisation, and "invisible water" management to ensure sustainability. Tamil Nadu has made strides in organic farming, expanding significantly in recent years, but broader adoption is necessary for long-term viability.
