Within last five years 79000 Piglets distributed to 28000 agriculturists.
The fertile lands of agriculturists are misused for fish production. According to Kṛṣnamalla and Jaganāthan the production of a particular type of fish named 'Prāṇa has been started by some wealthy persons in Sirakali. This type of fish production is like goldstore for rich persons but it has become curse for agriculturists. In one hectare of land fish producers earn Rs. 10 lacs per year but the poor people loose their lands and become unable to get fresh water. So the fish production has become very damaging for Tamilnadu. In this way the injurious economy has become very sorrowful for villagers.'
The meat and fish productions are conducted with three motivesi) Luxury - Ordinarily in the rich families meat and fish used for luxurious dishes.
ii) At present human beings are thinking to satisfy their food demand by eating fleshes of different animals and fishes.
iii) Foreign currency - The meat and fish are supplied to other nations to earn foreign currencies.
Cloth-Production -
Cloth is generally produced in factories of wealthy persons who are known as capitalists. The other people who work in the factories are known as labours. The capitalists and labours are found related but not co-operatively. The capitalists always exploit labours. They like richness of ownselves and poverty of labours. The poor labours are compelled by their poverty, to be exploited by wealthy factories owners. Karl Marx has tried to see the labours free from exploitation by establishing the "Theory of Surplus Value" The
