Farmers are now using drip irrigation methods for irrigation. The Central Government is also promoting it and has allocated 4 thousand crores for various state farmers under the “Per Drop More Crop” scheme. The main objective behind this scheme is to increase yields by reducing water use in farming.
It is worth noting that the Central Government has launched the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana to use every drop of water in the irrigation process. Under this scheme, ‘Per Drop More Crop – Micro Irrigation’ program is being run.
Modern technology of irrigation has been emphasized under the ‘Per Drop More Crop – Micro Irrigation’ program. With this, 4000 crores have been allocated to farmers of various states. The goal of this program is to achieve higher yields by using less water in fields by micro irrigation techniques such as drip and sprinkler irrigation systems.
