If crops are irrigated at the right time and in the right quantity, many crop problems automatically disappear. That is why the government also helps the farmers in the irrigation process through beneficial schemes. In this series, the Uttar Pradesh government is providing the facility of free boring to the farmers of its state.
Actually, farmers will be given the benefit of 100% subsidy for getting boring done. This means that it will be absolutely free for the farmers. The government will bear its entire expense. Along with this, arrangements for loans and subsidies for pump sets will also be made to the farmers.
Let us tell you that under this scheme, maximum subsidy of Rs. 15000 will be given at the rate of Rs. 328/meter for boring with depth of 70 meters, whereas for boring with depth of up to 100 meters, maximum subsidy of Rs. 35000 will be given at the rate of Rs. 597/meter. Subsidy will be given. Here it must be kept in mind that in this scheme, small farmers belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes will be given priority.
