The Cauvery Delta Farmers' Federation has urged the Tamil Nadu Government to continue the Farmer Official Link 2.0 (Uzhavar Aluvalar Thodarbu 2.0) scheme and not withdraw it.
The scheme allows one government official to coordinate services for farmers growing multiple crops, reducing the need for visits by officials from different departments.
It aims to ensure faster crop inspection, technical guidance, and timely subsidy payments for farmers.
According to the federation, 76% of Tamil Nadu's agricultural area is under crops, and 24% is under horticulture crops across 17,163 revenue villages.
The federation stated that continuing the scheme will reduce delays in providing subsidies and improve services for farmers.
