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

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
