Under the Tamil Nadu Irrigated Agriculture Modernisation Project, a farm pond can be built on an individual farmer's field with assistance of ₹75,000, which is 75% of the reference cost; the farmer contributes ₹25,000. A separate rainwater-harvesting farm pond component is provided at full cost in some areas.
