it is our great misfortune nowadays that we are getting only less rainfall every year. Due to this natural failure of monsoon, the productivity is also getting reduced substantially. So, it becomes our first and foremost necessity to impart technical expertise to the agrarian community in this regard so that they could adopt various methods in agricultural works according to the changing monsoons. 

Our GSS had readily entered this field too and we appealed to the NABARD and the Government of Tamil Nadu to initiateWatershed Development Project in its region. The proposal was approved and thus we had been implementing Watershed Project from 2004 onwards covering 16,304.84 hectares of land with the financial assistance of Rs. 38,429,486 and this project included the land area of the agro-horticulture.

We distributed 16,126 seedlings for plantation under this project. Following this, we distributed 14,148 seedlings under Dry Land-Horticulture and Agro-Forestry Schemes. Then 40,348 seedlings also were distributed by us which benefited 360,004 farmers in our region. After a long 10 years of the successful implementation of the project, the ground water level was f found to be increased substantially and the area of cultivation of crops was also increased. Thus it was found that productivity was also enhanced.
