Install the solar pump on huge subsidy of 75%

In today’s era, the government is promoting the production of renewable energy to reduce electricity consumption. Under this, ‘Kusum Yojana’ is being run by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. Under the scheme, solar plants and solar pumps are given on subsidy to benefit the farmer brothers. Along with the central government, the state governments are also running many schemes at their own level. In this episode, the Haryana government is giving up to 75% subsidy to the farmers for installing solar pumps.

Significantly, there is a big problem with water used for irrigation in Haryana. Many villages do not have water for agriculture. In such a situation, apart from paddy-wheat and sugarcane, farmers have to cultivate crops with less irrigation. Because of this, there has been a huge shortage of paddy and wheat in the state. For this reason, the government is now starting many schemes to promote traditional farming. Before this scheme of subsidy on solar panels, the Haryana government had also announced a subsidy on seeds.
