Rapid land use change has taken place in Tamil Nadu over the past three to four decades due to accelerated cultivation, industrialization and urbanization. Growth of population influenced increased food requirements. In order to meet the basic requirements, the Government has planned to increase the irrigation facilities and the agricultural inputs, (High yielding varieties (HYV), seeds, agricultural implements etc.) to the farmers and also implement the interventional schemes and incentives to enhance farmer’s income. Land use change may be examined by considering conversion of forest to crop and rangeland; losses of productive land through various factors; conversion of wetlands to agriculture and urban use: and conversion of other types of land to various human uses. The key to meet the present day challenges lies in the integrated management of the natural resources. Therefore, the knowledge of soil and land resources with respect to their spatial distribution, characteristics, potentials, limitations and their suitability for alternate land uses helps in formulating strategies to obtain higher productivity on sustained basis. With these views in mind an attempt has been made to study the spatial and temporal changes in the land use in Tamil Nadu.Keywords

The present study examines the performance of major cotton domestic markets viz., Andhra Pradesh (Khammam), Gujarat (Gondal), Karnataka (Raichur), Maharashtra (Akola) and Tamil Nadu (Konganapuram) of India using monthly wholesale prices of cotton in terms of market integration by using co-integration test and Johansen multivariate co-integration test. Unit ischolar_main test indicated that the price series in each location are non -stationary at their levels, and stationary at their first differences. Co-integration results showed that the regional markets have price linkages and thus, these markets are spatially integrated. The findings revealed that bidirectional relationships exist within domestic markets which indicated the price transmission happening in short run adjustments and the presence of long run equilibrium existed among the cotton markets in Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. In case of Tamil Nadu cotton market, the speed of adjustment towards equilibrium was almost 0.34 per cent and Karnataka market was the key determinant of shocks in the cotton market of Tamil Nadu. Overall, the results imply effective price transmission mechanism in the domestic markets and any further boost to the existing infrastructure will help in improving both producer’s and consumer’s surpluses.Keywords

Watershed development projects have been taken up under different programmes launched by Government of India, State departments and also International Agencies. Watershed management is a concept which recognizes the judicious management of basic resources of soil, water and vegetation, on watershed basis, for achieving particular objective for the well being of the people. Realizing the significance of the watershed development investments on various watershed projects, a detailed study was carried out to evaluate the activities and their impacts. The impact of various activities on different aspects such as water resources, agricultural production, socio-economic aspects and institutional aspects was studied. The overall impact of watershed projects implemented under NABARD Watershed Development Fund (WDF) in Chikkanankuppam has been positive and significant.Keywords
