Agricultural officers in Tamil Nadu are protesting the 'farmer-officer connect scheme 2.0', arguing that it forces staff to provide advice outside their specialized fields. While some farmer associations support the scheme, officers warn that merging horticulture and agriculture departments could lead to crop damage.
A cross-section of agricultural officers has urged Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay to roll back Uzhavar Aluvalar Thodarbu Thittam - 2.0 (farmer - officer connect scheme) (UATT 2.0), a scheme that aims to unify all the wings of the Agriculture Department at the field level.
