Abstract


To achieve the targetted goal of 120 million tonnes of foodgrains in the Fourth Plan, Intensive Agricultural District Programme was first launched in selected districts of the country. Encouraged by the results obtained, the Central Government initiated the Intensive Agricultural Area Programme in different districts of the States where favourable conditions exist for stepping-up food production. The Intensive Agricultural Area Programme launched in four districts of Madras State envisages intensive cultivation methods not only on food crops but also on crops that come in rotation in relatively larger areas where assured irrigation exists.
