Due to the changes taking place in the environment, many types of side effects are being seen. One of these side effects is the fall of the groundwater level. Due to this, the water crisis in agriculture is increasing. In view of these crises, many steps are being taken by the government so that water is not wasted and it can be saved. The government is also running an awareness campaign regarding this. In this regard, farmers are being encouraged to plant such crops which require less water.
Along with these awareness campaigns, the government is also promoting drip irrigation so that every drop of water can be used. In Bihar, the government is giving huge subsidies of up to 90% on drip irrigation and sprinklers. Under the Bihar government’s ‘Per Drop More Crop’ campaign, irrigation equipment will be available to farmers at only 10% of the cost. You can apply online for this by visiting the Bihar government website http://horticulture.bihar.gov.in/HORTMIS/Home.aspx.
