Regarding Drought Like Situation In Tamil Nadu. on 4 September, 2013
> Title: Regarding drought like situation in Tamil Nadu.
SHRI O.S. MANIAN (MAYILADUTHURAI): Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Sir for giving me this opportunity to raise a matter of urgent public importance.
Due to the failure of monsoon and denial of Cauvery water by the Karnataka Government, our State of Tamil Nadu faced a severe drought during the year 2012-13. There was no rain throughout the year in Tamil Nadu. All the agricultural activities were severely affected due to this. The shortage of ground water also spoiled the coconut trees severely.
The farmers lost their livelihood. The Tamil Nadu Government under the able leadership of Dr. Puratchi Thalaivi Amma announced so many welfare schemes to save the poor farmers from the severe drought. The Tamil Nadu Government paid Rs. 15,000 as compensation for those who are holding one acre of cultivable land. A team from the Central Government also visited the drought affected places to assess the damage of crops in Tamil Nadu and submitted a report to the Central Government. But till now, the Centre has not taken any action on the report. No compensation has been announced by the Centre.
The share of the Central Government which is to be paid through the Crop Insurance Scheme to the affected agriculturists, is till now pending. I would therefore request that the Centre should come forward to pay the arrears crop insurance for the year 2012-2013 immediately.
.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Dr. Venugopal.
DR. P. VENUGOPAL (TIRUVALLUR): Sir, I do not want to speak. I would just associate with what Shri Manian has spoken.
MR. CHAIRMAN: All right. The name of Dr. P. Venugopal will be associated on the matter raised by Shri Manian.
