Strategy for Contingency Plan in the
event of Aberrant Monsoon
Contingency plan prepared for all the
districts in consultation with TNAU
Plans were developed for .
Delay in onset of rains during the
season
Slow progression during the season
Mid Season drought
End season drought
Action Plan for drought Management

Promotion & use of

Extra Early Maturity (<100 days)
varieties Anna-4,ADT 48 , MDU 5,
Anjali & Prasanna for paddy,Seed
plan prepared
Using higher seed rate
Potash spray(2%) for drought
tolerance to tide over the short dry
spell.
 Action Plan
Management practices
Promotion of community nursery and mass
machanised planting
Direct sowing using Gorru under dry
condition
Use of drum seeder under puddled
condition to skip nursery preparation, early
maturation & to reduce water usage
Encouraging less water requiring short
duration pulses / millets.
 OTHER STATES INITIATIVES
A Separate agency for ensuring
availability of quality seeds constituted
Interest free loan of Rs.150 Crores to
TANFED for facilitating the availability of
chemical fertilizers
Rainfed Area Development Programmed
with more focus to minor millets and
livestock
Village level awareness programme for
