Kanchipuram dt is an old Palar delta, fertile soil with high rainfall. Sadly, TN is a basket case of bad landuse mgmt, due to red & green towel “political” groups, we can’t industrialise dry lands of west TN(groundwater level >1000ft), forced to build industry in fertile KTCC 1/2

One of Most beautiful village in Kanchipuram - Keezhambi 😍. Situated approximately 8 to 10 kilometers west of Kanchipuram town near the Chennai-Bengaluru National Highway (NH 48), it serves as a rapidly growing suburban area blending rural heritage with modern connectivity

If we go by Geography, Chennai should focus on service and high tech jobs, industries should be flourished in dry plains of west & South TN. (Tiruppur, Kovai, west Dindigul, Salem, Nellai, Sivagangai, Ramnad, VNR). But green and red towels won’t allow to implement the plan 2/2

Due to complex socio-economic and colonial policy, most of the industries in T.N. are located in few urban pockets, creating new industrial ecosystems that required road, rail, electricity, and port is very difficult to politically motivated different colored towel groups

All these led to very bad landuse management in Tamil Nadu where we are protecting farming in waterless, less fertile dry regions and destroying fertile region for economic opportunity

Agriculture is the most water consuming activity, many industries need less water (recycling is possible). TN should not attract water intensive industries like Textile , sadly we lead in that area. We do everything against our geography

Remember 2400 paddy farmers consume equivalent fresh water of all industries in Chennai metropolitan region put together. Solution to our water issue is to Invest in less polluting industry and service sector. Stop glorifying Agriculture

Most of my college friends outside KTCC region feel that their pristine villages should be left untouched as chennai is for factories and other dirty businesses. Basically they don't mind KTCC region broke, they don't mind buying real estate properties built on marshlands.

That’s why Tamil Nadu Landscape is dying. Narrow minded point of view driven by WhatsApp Universities. Tamil Nadu villages are as much as beautiful as they are barbaric

But industries need huge water right? Like car companies and auto components factories in KTCC. Even the few successful industry in kongu like textiles are frequently attacked for water, land pollution.

No, all the industries in Chennai combined consume less water than 3500 paddy farmers in Tamil Nadu, creating 10+ lakh employment. Industry consume much much lesser water than Farming. PS: in T.N. we don’t mine or refine (that’s where auto takes more water),

Most number of factories are in the west region already.

IMO we should create a giga or tera industrial corridor from Coimbatore to Tiruchi and Karur to Hosur. 4 intl airports, RRTS, freight corridors & Eways to Chennai, Tuti & Kolachal (via Kumari). Make it huge. This region in itself has potential to become a $1 Trillion economy.

சித்திரை கொடும் வெய்யிலில் நீர் சுரந்த ஊற்றுகள் பாலாறுக்கு இருந்தன. கத்திரி வெயிலிலும் கீற்றளவு தண்ணீர் ஓடிய பாலாற்றின் நினைவுகள் உள்ளன. இப்போது கூட கெட்டு விடவில்லை. ஆந்திரத்திடம் பேச வேண்டும். நமது பக்கம் கடுமையாக உழைத்தால் 10 ஆண்டுகளில் பாலாற்றை மீள் உருவாக்கம் செய்யலாம்🙏🥺
