Directions

In the selected districts of Tamil Nadu the main economic activity of the population is agriculture and other works. The total geographic area of Tamil Nadu is 129, 91,322 ha and the net land used for agriculture is 53, 03,294 ha. The income of the labourers depends on daily wages. In districts like The Nilgiris, people work on the tea/coffee plantations and in districts like Coimbatore, people are engaged in works at industries apart from agricultural activities. Through our investigation, it was found that the people are willing to adopt alternative technologies for their livelihood. Therefore, the proposed technologies of the Core Support Programme were improved and disseminated to the beneficiaries through the networking NGOs at various districts of Tamil Nadu which could lead to an establishment of new small business, thereby creating job opportunities and raising the income of people in the local community.
