Kancheepuram in Tamil Nadu has always been known either for its silk sarees or its temples. But this town is also a major paddy producer. Since October 1, around 46,280 tonnes of grain were procured by the Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation. The crop is raised on over 50,800 hectares of land in the district.

Farmers say they are forced to do it on the roadside because there is no open land left. Thank you for watching our video!
