After an initial focus on agriculture, industrialisation was given priority. The
recurrent
droughts experienced by India pushed her to be dependent on imports of
food grains.However, the available foreign exchange reserve could not
permit open market purchases and import of grains. India had to plead
for food grains from richer countries at concessional rates. United
States of America extended
assistance through its Public Law 480 (PL 480) scheme to India during early 1960s.
A growing country with a massive population was perceived to be a potential
candidate
for revolution. The American administration and philanthropic
organisations like Ford Foundation formulated a plan to increase food
production in the country by introducing High Yielding Varieties (HYV)
of wheat and rice. This programme was implemented in select districts
where irrigation was assured. The results were promising and the
programme was extended to cover a larger
number of districts.
technological interventions in the dairy, poultry and fisheries sectors. As a result, the milk production in the country witnessed an eight-fold increase, egg production grew 40-fold and fish production by 13-fold between the time of Independence and mid-2000s. However, India could not succeed in attaining self-sufficiency in the production of pulses and oil seeds. Therefore, India depends on imports
to meet the requirements of peopl
Nutrition plays a crucial role in human health and well-being. At the national level,
despite
higher economic growth, improvements in human development indicators
like nutrition levels of the population have been unacceptably slow. A
large number of Indian children are stunted. A substantial number of
Indian children and women are underweight, anaemic and suffer from
micronutrient deficiencies.To address these concerns, the Central and
state governments have been channellising
substantial resources into
various health and nutrition schemes and programmes like Integrated
Child Development Services (ICDS),mid-day meals, Reproductive and Child
Health Programmes (RCH) and National Rural Health Mission (NRHM).
However, an effective scaling up of these efforts is required to
mitigate the
incidence of under-nutrition in the country
The
Government of Tamil Nadu’s policy for “A Malnutrition Free Tamil Nadu”
guides the state’s long-term multi-sectoral strategy for eliminating
malnutrition. The goal is “reducing human malnutrition of all types to
the levels of best performing countries”.In Tamil Nadu,ICDS is being
implemented through 54,439
Child Centres (comprising 49,499 Anganwadi
Centres and 4,940 Mini Anganwadi Centres) in 434 Child Development
Blocks (385 rural, 47 urban and 2 tribal).
With steady expansion into unreached areas, increasing coverage of marginalised
groups,
enhanced allocations and enlarged scope of services, ICDS is now
considered to be one of the world’s largest programmes of its kind.

States and their functional equivalents throughout history have used money provided by taxation to carry out many functions. Some of these include expenditures on economic infrastructure (transportation, sanitation, public safety, education, healthcare systems, to name a few), military, scientific research, culture and the arts, public works and public insurance and the operation of government
itself. A government's ability to raise taxes is called its fiscal capacity.
When expenditures exceed tax revenue, a government accumulates debt. A portion of taxes may be used to service past debts. Governments also use taxes to fund welfare and public services.These services can include education systems,pensions for the elderly, unemployment benefits and public transportation. Energy, water and waste management systems are also common public utilities.A tax imposed on an individual or organisation, which is paid directly, is a direct tax. The burden of a direct tax cannot be shifted to others. J.S. Mill defines a direct tax as “one
which is demanded from the very persons who it is intended or desired should pay it.” Some direct taxes are income tax, wealth tax and corporation taxGenerally, “any human activity which is engaged in the conversion of raw materials into
readily usable materials is called an industry”. Industrialisation refers to the process of using modern techniques of production to produce goods that are required by both consumers and other producers on a large scale. In this chapter
we will learn the nature of industrialisation of Tamil Nadu, importance of industrial clusters, how industrial clusters have developed in Tamil Nadu and the role of government initiatives in promoting industries.
