Farmers' grievance meetings should be held monthly, says Tamil Nadu farmers' protection association

The Tamil Nadu Farmers' Protection Association has urged that grievance meetings for farmers be held monthly to resolve their complaints. The association's district organisers said past meetings raised a range of agricultural issues including loan relief, concerns about the Mekedaatu dam project, and falling mango prices.

The association also called for district-level farmer discussions and technical sessions on topics such as high-yield vegetable varieties, balanced fertilizer management, seed and input use, and pest and disease control. It recommended scheduling monthly grievance meetings on the last Friday or at times convenient to the concerned officials.
