In February 2007 an agreement was signed between the World Bank, the Central Government, and Tamil Nadu state government for a mega project titled Irrigated Agriculture Modernization & Water-bodies Restoration & Management (IAMWARM). The project cost of US $556 million (Rs 2,547 Cr) was met through a loan from the World Bank. In spite of the implementation of the project in 63 sub-basins in TN over a year, the quality and the process of the project activities leaves a lot to be desired. This moved Rural Organization for Social Education, an NGO based in Pudukkottai involved in rural livelihood programme, to look into the working of the project.
