Tamil Nadu 2026‑27 budget draws mixed reactions

Tamil Nadu’s 2026‑27 budget unveiled a ₹600 crore Soil Fertility Mission, extensive mangrove‑restoration initiatives, and a ‘Super Clean, Super Campus’ programme aimed at modernising school infrastructure.

While industry groups welcomed the heightened capital spending, agricultural representatives expressed disappointment over the lack of new drought‑relief provisions, arguing the plan falls short of addressing water scarcity.
