== Background ==<br />
The scheme was introduced in 1999 by the state government under [[M. Karunanidhi]], the chief of [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (DMK). The first Uzhavar Sandhai was inaugurated in madurai on 14 November 1999. The objective of the scheme was to promote direct contact between farmers and consumers, through which the farmer can get full profit without middlemen or brokers. In 2001, when the opposition [[Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (ADMK) came into power, the scheme was stalled. It was revived again by the DMK after it came to power in 2006. In 2011, ADMK formed the government but continued with the scheme. The markets are maintained and regulated by the [[Tamil Nadu State Agricultural Marketing Board]] and prices to the products are fixed on day basis.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.rediff.com/news/report/tn/20060403.htm | title=Rice at Rs2/kg: DMK says its possible | date=3 April 2006 | agency=PTI | publisher=Rediff | accessdate=17 July 2020 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/prospect-of-revival-of-uzhavar-sandhai-raises-farmers-hopes/article3135843.ece | title=Prospect of revival of `Uzhavar Sandhai' raises farmers' hopes | date=20 May 2006 | newspaper=The Hindu | first=V. | last=Venkatasubramanian | accessdate=17 July 2020 }}</ref><br />
