Farmers in TN's Salem raise alarm over poor yield from subsidised maize seeds
Salem (Tamil Nadu), Sep 6 (IANS ) Maize farmers in several parts of Tamil Nadu's Salem district have raised concerns over the performance of a seed variety distributed by the state Agriculture Department under a government subsidy scheme, claiming that poor yields have left many unable to recover their cultivation costs. Farmers in Attur, Pethanaickenpalayam, Vazhapadi, and neighbouring areas said the variety -- Advanta 762 -- supplied last season was unsuitable for Salems soil and climatic conditions. They have urged the government to provide an alternative variety or restore the earlier subsidy system that allowed them to purchase seeds of their choice. Salem District Farmers Welfare Association President V.S. Govindaraj said farmers harvested only about 15 bags of maize per acre from the subsidised seeds last year, compared with nearly 40 bags from better-performing varieties. A successful maize crop could earlier earn a farmer a profit of around Rs 2 lakh, he said. However, cultivators using the subsidised variety struggled even to meet their expenses. The seeds, normally priced at around Rs 420 per kilogram, are being supplied to farmers at Rs 320 after subsidy. Many cultivators are reportedly reluctant to purchase the same variety again this season. Govindaraj alleged that farmers in some places were being warned that refusing to buy the seeds could affect their eligibility for other government benefits. He also expressed concern that the seeds, which have a limited shelf life, could expire if they remained unsold. The state has sanctioned 58 tonnes of subsidised maize seeds for Salem this season, including 18.5 tonnes for Pethanaickenpalayam block. Distribution is focused on Attur, Gangavalli, Pethanaickenpalayam, Kolathur, and Thalaivasal. Agriculture officials, however, defended Advanta 762, saying it was notified by the Union government for cultivation in five states. Supplied through the National Seeds Corporation, it is distributed across 20 Tamil Nadu districts. Officials said the Salem allocation would cover approximately 1,866 hectares and that every batch was inspected before distribution and met the prescribed 90 per cent germination standard. Joint Director of Agriculture K. Srinivasan attributed last years poor yield mainly to inadequate rainfall. Under favourable conditions, the certified F1 variety could yield around 3.5 tonnes per acre, he said. The department has also sourced the cheaper DHM 206 variety following farmers reluctance to buy Advanta 762.

Kallanai set to release Cauvery water for Delta irrigation today
Chennai, Sep 6 (IANS) Water released from the Mettur Dam has reached the historic Kallanai in Tiruchi district, paving the way for its discharge into the Cauvery delta irrigation network on Sunday morning. Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay opened the Mettur dam on September 1 to supply water to the Cauvery-irrigated regions. The initial release of 5,000 cubic feet per second was subsequently increased to 7,000 cusecs as officials monitored inflow and requirements of farmers in the delta districts. The released water crossed the Mukkombu regulator in Tiruchi district before reaching Kallanai on Saturday morning. However, because the volume arriving at the barrage remained relatively low, the structure had not filled completely by evening. Water had accumulated near the sluice gates leading to the Cauvery, Vennar and Kollidam rivers. Officials said water would be released from Kallanai on Sunday for delta irrigation. The discharge is expected to benefit agricultural areas served by the network of rivers and channels branching from the ancient barrage, a crucial distribution point in Tamil Nadu's Cauvery system. Six ministers -- Anand, Vinoth, Ramesh, Shahjahan, Mohamad Parvez and Rajkumar -- are scheduled to attend the opening ceremony. MLA Vijay Saravanan, Thanjavur District Collector Revathi, Water Resources Department Chief Engineer Jayakumari and Monitoring Engineer Dileepan will also participate, along with Members of Parliament and other legislators. The ceremony will be held in a festive atmosphere. Ministers and senior guests will be escorted from the palace area to the barrage with drums and traditional percussion instruments as part of the customary Kallanai celebrations. Special prayers have also been conducted at the Anjaneyar temple on the banks of the Kollidam and at the Vinayakar and Karuppannasamy temples ahead of the release. According to figures available on Saturday evening, the water level in the Mettur reservoir stood at 92.25 feet. The dam was receiving an inflow of 8,075 cusecs, while 7,000 cusecs were being discharged. Farmers across the delta will closely watch the flow over the coming days, as the timely movement and regulated distribution of Cauvery water are critical for standing crops and seasonal cultivation in Thanjavur and neighbouring delta districts. Water Resources Department officials are expected to adjust releases in accordance with reservoir inflows, field requirements and conditions across the canal system.

Demand surges for TN Assembly visitor passes ahead of CM Vijays reply in House
Chennai, Sep 6 (IANS) Visitor passes for Monday's Tamil Nadu Assembly proceedings are in heavy demand, as students and members of the public seek to watch Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay respond to the debate on demands for grants for the Home Department. Online reservations for school and college visitors were almost full by Saturday evening, reflecting heightened interest in CM Vijay's scheduled reply on September 7. Assembly officials said the 11 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. viewing slot had been completely booked, while only a few seats remained for the 10.30 a.m. to 11 a.m. slot as of 7.30 p.m. on Saturday. Officials attributed the rush primarily to the Chief Minister's presence in the House and the significance of the Home Department debate. The department covers crucial areas including policing, law and order, public safety and internal security, making the government's response one of the closely watched moments of the session. Students wishing to attend the proceedings must register through the dedicated facility available on the Assembly's official website. The arrangement allows educational institutions and individual students to reserve seats in advance, subject to availability and entry regulations. Visitors can follow the proceedings from two types of seating facilities inside the Assembly hall. Eight box-style galleries provide five seats each, while benches placed on both sides of the hall can collectively accommodate about 100 to 150 people at a time. An Assembly official said that public attendance had risen sharply since the TVK-led government assumed office. The number of visitors increases further whenever Vijay attends the session, as many people are keen to see the Chief Minister in person and observe the functioning of the legislature. According to the official, between 2,000 and 3,000 people now watch the Assembly proceedings each day. The figure includes visitors attending through different viewing slots during the day, rather than the number accommodated inside the galleries at any single time. The packed reservations also point to growing curiosity among young people about legislative debates and the new government's performance inside the House so far. The exceptional demand for Monday's passes underlines the public attention surrounding Vijay's administration and its handling of the Home portfolio. With the most sought-after slot already filled and remaining seats disappearing quickly, officials expect the galleries to remain crowded when the Chief Minister delivers his reply.
