Agriculture is not possible without water. At the same time, the farmers are facing water scarcity due to the continuously falling groundwater level. Due to this many times, the fields are not even irrigated and the crops get spoiled. However, to deal with this problem, the Madhya Pradesh government is running Balram Talab Yojana. This scheme is being run under the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana.
Under this scheme, financially weak farmers are given grants for the construction of ponds. These ponds are used to collect rainwater. The water is later used to irrigate the field. Due to the availability of sufficient water from these ponds, crop production increases. Due to this farmers get good profit.
To take advantage of this scheme, one has to apply online by visiting the official website of the state government at dbt.mpdage.org. Explain that this grant is given according to the category of the applicants. Where the maximum grant amount of 50% to the small or marginal farmers is 80 thousand rupees and the maximum grant amount of 75% to the farmers of a scheduled caste or scheduled tribe category is Rs 1 lakh. Apart from this, the maximum amount of 40% is given to the general category, 80 thousand rupees.
