Thousands of hectares of land that had been lying idle for years in Tamil Nadu have been made cultivable through major interventions under watershed development project of National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD).
Being implemented in Tamil Nadu since 2001, around 160 watershed development projects are under way in various districts.
