Subsidies are proposed under the National Agriculture Extension Project for inland fishing for farmers on their farms here in the district. Under the Nation Agriculture Extension Project, applications are invited from farmers interested in inland fishing on their farms at a subsidy. The project entails a subsidy of 40% of the total project cost of ₹7 lakh for setting up of a new farm pond for fishing on a hectare of land. This envisions a subsidy amount of ₹3.50 lakh. The input cost of ₹1.50 lakh will be met by a subsidy amount of ₹60,000, which is 40% subsidy. Under the project, a total subsidy of ₹4.10 lakh is granted to the farmer.
The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
