In the agriculture sector, the government is bringing many schemes to reduce the agricultural expenditure of the farmers and increase the income. In this episode, this time the government has decided to provide free electricity connection for irrigation of crops during Rabi season.
This decision has been taken by the Madhya Pradesh government and with its help, irrigation work can be done in a maximum area of the state in less time. Along with the irrigation electricity bill, the state government is also going to provide free agricultural pumps.
Under this, farmers will have to pay a flat rate of Rs 750 per horsepower for meterless permanent agricultural pumps of capacity up to 10 horsepower every year. Apart from this, the remaining amount will be given as a subsidy.
