The adoption of solar energy in agriculture is steadily growing, and the government is actively encouraging its use among farmers. To promote solar energy, the PM Kusum Yojana is being implemented nationwide. In Rajasthan, a state-level farmers’ conference is scheduled for 13 December to commemorate one year of the current government. During this event, targets will be set to provide online administrative approval for solar pump plants for farmers.
Through this scheme, the Rajasthan government offers subsidies for solar pumps to farmers without electricity connections. Farmers can receive 60% of the total cost of 3, 5, 7.5, and 10 HP solar pump plants as a subsidy on a first-come, first-served basis. Additionally, farmers belonging to Scheduled Castes and Tribes will receive an extra grant of ₹45,000.
