Improvements of Infrastructure Facilities to Overcome the Flood & Drought in Thrissur - Ponnani Kole Lands for Increasing Paddy Production
The padasekharams & residents in the Thrissur Ponnani Kole area faces threats due to rsing water levels during rainy season. The clogged canals and insufficient dewatering systems has been addressed in the project. The traditional petty and para system has to be replaced by submersible pumps or vertical axis pumps. By the completion of the project the entire kole area will become a model paddy cultivation area of the State. It is expected that paddy prduction can be raised considerably from this area by this project
Project Cost: 298.38 crore
Project Duration: Five Years
Objectives of the Project
- Ensuring paddy cultivation in kole lands which lies below sea level
- Raising of additional crop of paddy or vegetables as second crop in the double kole programme of the Government.
- De-silting of canals and strengthening of the bunds
- To establish good drainage system in Kole lands which are prone to flood during heavy rain
- Replacing pety & motors by submersible pump sets
- Providing uninterrupted power supply in kole lands which reduces cost of cultivation
- Providing uninterrupted power supply in kole lands which reduces cost of cultivation

Infrastructure Development Works of Pampoorichal Padasekharam in Ramamangalam, Ernakulam
The project in full will envisages the comprehensive and sustainable development of the Pampoorichal Comprising of 100 Ha of Paddy Fields and 250 Ha of garden lands. Necessary infrastructural facilities will be provided for stabilising the paddy cultivation in the Monsoon Season. Two paddy crops will be arranged in selected padasekharams were the acidity is less and availability of fresh water is optimum. Paddy field unsuitable for paddy cultivation and left fallow for years will be reclaimed and made fit for paddy cultivation.
Aim of the project
- To protect the paddy field from nominal flood
- To restore double crop of paddy cultivation in a year.
- To convert fallow land to cultivable land.
- Reduce the cost of cultivation crop of Vegetable farmimg
- To improve the paddy production Side Protection works leading Chal, tractor Bridge and Ramp
Project Cost: 5.00 crore
Project Duration: Two Years
Objectives of the Project
- Integrated Farming System (IFS)
- Enhanced Vegetable Cultivation
- Model Cattle Farm Development
- Training & Knowledge Centre development
Major Components
- Deepening of Thodu
- Formation of outer bund
- Side protection work
- Construction of leading chal
- Construction of tractor bridge
