Direct purchase centres of the Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation have once again proved that they are the saviours of farmers in Thanjavur and Tiruvarur districts be it a normal cultivation season or not as they have almost received the entire quantity of paddy harvested during this samba/thaladi season. Around 1000 DPCs were opened in Thanjavur and Tiruvarur districts during the current samba/thaladi season which was marred by unseasonal rains.
According to the Agriculture Department sources, farmers having their fields located on high terrains in these two districts such as Thirukattupalli, Nannilam and other areas were able to harvest good quality of paddy while others ended up harvesting drenched and slightly inferior quality paddy as their fields bore the brunt of nature’s fury.
