In areas with low rainfall, farmers at times face a shortage of water for irrigation. In such a situation, such techniques of irrigation are being promoted more by the government, in which irrigation can be done well even with the use of less water. Drip irrigation and sprinkler systems can be used for this irrigation technique.
Explain that 80% of water can be saved by using drip irrigation, while sprinklers can save up to 40-50% of water. However, in view of the merits of these irrigation machines, a huge subsidy is being given by the Government of Rajasthan for the installation of drip and sprinkler irrigation systems. Farmers are getting subsidies up to 75% in this regard. It is noteworthy that this year i.e. in the year 2023, the government has set a target of providing benefits of this scheme to 4 lakh farmers.
