Kudimaramathu is a scheme for restoring all the minor irrigation tanks and lakes in Tamil Nadu State, India.
This is the program taken up by the Government of Tamil Nadu led by Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami on 13 March 2017.
In April 2022, the Government of India launched a similar water body rejuvenation scheme called the Mission Amrit Sarovar.
During the summers, as one of the agriculturalists, they worked to deepen and widen the lakes, streams, ponds, canals and drains which are the sources of agricultural irrigation and drinking water.
Nutrient rich Alluvial soil excavated for plowing is applied to the agricultural fields as manure.
The Government sanctioned this special scheme of Rs.100/- Crore for the year 2016-17 and Rs.300/- Crore for the year 2017-18 to mitigate the impact of floods, increase the water table and reduce drought, and restore all water bodies in Tamil Nadu with the participation of farmers.
