Many types of schemes are being run by the central and state governments with the aim of strengthening the economic condition of the farmers. In this series, the Rajasthan government is running the “Solar Pump Subsidy Scheme” to solve the irrigation related problems of the farmers of its state. Through this scheme, farmers installing solar pumps can avail subsidy up to 60%.
At present, the Rajasthan government has started this scheme in 4 districts of the state. These four districts are Bikaner, Sriganganagar, Hanumangarh and Anupgarh. This scheme is being run under the Indira Gandhi Canal Project. Let us tell you that under this scheme, 60% of the total expenditure on the solar pump will be borne as government subsidy, while the remaining 40% amount will have to be spent by the farmer. If this amount is not available with the farmer, then he can also take a bank loan of up to 30%. A pact has been made with Rotomag Motors and Control Private Limited for loan service.
If you also want to take advantage of the solar pump subsidy scheme, then go to the concerned section office of the “Water Resources Department” or your nearest Krishi Kendra and apply for this scheme.
