Delta Straw Purification Centre
currently, leftover straw from every paddy harvest across Tamil Nadu is either burned (causing pollution because it isn't used productively) or discarded as farm waste; this practice will be changed with a scheme to convert straw into cattle feed, for which 10 straw-purification centres will be set up in Thanjavur and Tiruvarur districts, converting straw into cattle feed and manure, raising farmer income; these purification centres will be run by local farmer groups.
