The electricity problem is seen in many areas of the country and especially the farmers have to face a lot of trouble due to this problem. Due to this farmers are not able to irrigate their fields at the right time. To overcome this problem of the farmers, the Central Government is running the “Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha and Utthan Maha Abhiyan (KUSUM)” scheme.
Under this scheme, farmers get solar pumps on subsidies. With the use of solar pumps, farmers do not face any problems in irrigating their fields. This also reduces the consumption of diesel, which is why the government is promoting this scheme.
Under this scheme, farmers in different states get a 60% subsidy, while in Haryana 75% subsidy is given in this scheme. This subsidy is available to the farmers for installing solar pumps for agricultural purposes.
