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
Major Components
- Construction and strengthening of outer bunds to padasekharams
- Side protection walls
- Construction of leading channel and it’s protections
- Engine platform, tharas, engine sheds & Flood inlets
- Deepening and de-clogging the main canals and connecting canals
- Construction of sluices
- Construction of farm roads and ramps
- Providing vertical axial pumps for dewatering
Mechanization in the harvesting system.

Chengannur "Samrudhi" - (Tharisu Rahita Mandalam Padhathi-Phase 1)
Decreasing the intensity of flood in the area, Protection of paddy fields from flood
with proper water management,
Enabling farmers to raise crops in time with infrastructures provided are the aims of
the project
Project Cost: 10.00 crore
Project Duration: Two Years
Major Components
- Deepening &Side Protection

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

Sustainable Development of Kuttanadu Rice Eco-System
The major objectives of the project is to provide critical infrastructures to the
padasekharams prioritising them based on various indices as cropping intensity, yield,
flood proneness, number of beneficiaries, etc.
Aim of the project
- To protect the paddy fields from flood and to eradicate crop failure during
flood– by providing strong outer bunds and by ensuring proper drainage facility
- To revive the Project Area –by renovation activities and by providing sufficient
infrastructures
- To ensure proper drainage as well as irrigation facility - by deepening of chocked
canals and by constructing new internal canals
- To Regulate inflow and outflow in the paddy fields - by providing sufficient
sluices
with mechanical shutter / flood inlets etc
- To ensure effective water management system– by providing proper drainage as
well as irrigation facility.
- To control over saline water intrusion
Project Cost: 2.92 crore
Project Duration: Two Years
Major Components
- Construction of outer bunds to padasekharams
- Side protection walls:
- Leading channel (vaachal) protection
- Engine platforms/ tharas
- Flood inlets
