Traditionally, a car was awarded as a prize to the best bull tamer. However, based on demands from the PMK party and farmers, it has now been decided to award a tractor instead.

All arrangements for the events are being carried out under the supervision of the District Collector. Necessary steps have been taken to ensure that the competitions are conducted smoothly and without any issues.

The muhurtha kaal planting ceremony was attended by District Collector Praveen Kumar and MLA Venkatesan, among others.
