The Kudimaramathu Scheme is based on the centuries-old concept of participatory water management at its core and was launched with the aim of rejuvenating the state’s crumbling water bodies. At an estimated INR 100 crores, Kudimaramathu envisages the rejuvenation of 1,519 tanks out of 16,098 PWD tanks in 30 districts of Tamil Nadu in the first phase.

In the second phase, 2,065 tanks will be taken up in 2018-19, with an estimated outlay of INR 332 crores. The scheme is designed such that the beneficiaries have to contribute 10 percent of the cost either in cash or labor and excavate the tanks using heavy machineries, wherever required.
