Such input based, resource based, physical and institutional infrastructure significantly influences the spread of proven and demonstrated technologies.

9 This implies that different forms of infrastructure should be provided to achieve better growth. Hence, Government of India launched the NATIONAL AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT Program (NADP) with special Additional Assistance Scheme since the beginning of 11th Five Year Plan to rejuvenate AGRICULTURE and allied sectors and to accelerate the growth process. Accordingly, it was suggested that during 12th Five Year plan period, each State government has to formulate different strategies for the DEVELOPMENT of AGRICULTURE and allied sectors through the preparation of District AGRICULTURE Plans (DAPs), State AGRICULTURE Plan (SAP) and State AGRICULTURE Infrastructure DEVELOPMENT Program (SAIDP). The approaches to achieve the growth have to be location specific and needs are to be drawn based on felt needs.

10 Thus, the major objective of the State agricultural Infrastructure DEVELOPMENT Program (SAIDP) is to identify the infrastructure for agricultural DEVELOPMENT and fund requirement across the AGRICULTURE and allied sectors in tamil nadu . As per the SAIDP, the major focus suggested are investment on infrastructure such as nursery establishment, micro irrigation, agricultural implements and machineries, processing units, strengthening of market institutions, seed testing labs, animal breeding units, veterinary service centres, fish rearing units, agricultural markets, research and DEVELOPMENT in AGRICULTURE and allied sectors etc. Creation or strengthening of such infrastructure could not only contribute to the agricultural growth at the macro level, but also could minimize the disparity across sectors and regions.
