Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) distributed seeds and inputs free-of-cost to 130 farmers at Vadapudur in Pollachi Taluk on Tuesday. The seeds were distributed by the South India Cotton Association president C. Soundararajan.

A. Krishnamoorthy, deputy manager of the corporation, said that 180 acres would be covered under the frontline demonstration programme, technology mission on cotton, mini mission three.Under this initiative, scientists from the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Central Institute of Cotton Research and Krishi Vigyan Kendras would also guide the farmers for a hassle-free crop growth. The farmers are given seeds of extra long staple (Bt) varieties since the domestic mills are in need of this variety of cotton.

The Bt variety was chosen since the productivity is high. The corporation will buy back the cotton from the farmers under the contract farming model. Similar projects would be taken up by the corporation at Avinashi, Udumalpet, Annur, Karamadai and Pollachi. The total number of beneficiaries would be 430, covering nearly 630 acres under extra long staple cotton. The farmers would have to follow the guidelines of the CCI in cultivation.
