MADURAI Tamil Nadu Minister for Cooperation I. Periyasamy said on Wednesday that through the Primary Agricultural Cooperative Banks, farmers across the State would get farm loans to the tune of about ₹ 11,500 crore.
As per the directive of Chief minister M.K. Stalin, the cooperative societies had been instructed to enrol new members and also ensure that no genuine farmer was missed out. Already, water was released for the kuruvai crop in the respective regions from dams.
For instance, for the 45,000 acres of kuruvai
crop in Madurai, Theni and Dindigul districts, water had been released from Periyar dam on June 1, Mr. Periyasamy said and added that in other districts, the authorities had taken steps in this direction.
