A large part of the country faces water shortage due to less rainfall. Due to this, farmers of these areas face a huge problem in farming. Here farmers have to depend on groundwater for irrigation of crops. Expensive irrigation equipment is needed to extract groundwater, which not every farmer is able to buy. To save its farmers from such a situation, the Rajasthan government is providing the facility of giving subsidy on installing pump sets in the fields.
The subsidy of pump sets is being given by the Rajasthan government under the “PM Kusum Yojana”. Let us tell you that through this scheme, 1400 farmers of the state will get benefit. The government will install solar pump sets in the fields of these farmers. With this, farmers will be able to irrigate their crops easily and for this they will not even need electricity.
The state government is giving subsidy of up to 60% to the farmers for installing solar pump sets. This facility will be available to the farmers under the “First Come First Serve” scheme. To avail the benefits of this scheme, visit the official website of PM Kusum Yojana and apply online.
