Farmers often have to face water shortages during irrigation in agriculture. Farmers of Rajasthan have to face this problem the most. In such a situation, to eliminate the water problem in the state, the Rajasthan government is running the Farm Pond Scheme to build ponds on subsidy. Through this scheme, ponds are created in the fields.
While giving information about this scheme, State Agriculture Commissioner Shri Kanhaiya Lal Swamy told the media that Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and Marginal farmers will get 70% of the cost or a maximum of Rs 73,500 per raw farm pound and 90% or Rs 1 lakh will be given on raw farm pound. Subsidy of Rs 35 thousand will be given on plastic lining form pound. At the same time, for general category farmers, 60% of the cost or a maximum of Rs 63 thousand on raw form pound and 80% or Rs 1 lakh 20 thousand on plastic lining form pound, whichever is less, will be given as subsidy.
To avail the benefits of this scheme, farmers can apply at their own level through Jan Aadhaar number on ‘Raj Kisan Sathi Portal’ or by visiting the nearest e-Mitra center.
