Irrigation will be possible without electricity, farmers will get benefit from this scheme

Irrigation will be possible without electricity

Farmers face a lot of difficulty in irrigating in summer due to a shortage of electricity. To get rid of this problem for the farmers of the state, the Madhya Pradesh government has implemented a scheme. Under this scheme, electricity will not be required for irrigation in the field. The pump will be run with the help of solar energy.

Solar power plants of 1250 MW capacity will be set up in the state. With the help of power plants, 7996 agricultural feeders can be energized with solar energy. Through this scheme, the fields of lakhs of farmers will be irrigated and about one thousand crore rupees will also be saved. At the same time, with the help of this solar energy, electricity will also be available to the farmers during the day.

The government has been spending 14 thousand 800 crores every year to provide cheap electricity to the farmers of the state. In such a situation, the scheme of running pumps on solar energy for irrigation will prove beneficial. However, at present, solar energy is costing an average of Rs 3 20 paise per unit. Whereas in thermal power, this rate is around Rs 5, 34 paise per unit. In such a situation, the problems of both the farmers and the government will end with solar energy.

Buy Murrah buffalo on 50% subsidy, know many benefits related to the scheme

To promote animal husbandry, the Madhya Pradesh government has announced a grant for buying buffaloes. Under this scheme, a 50% subsidy will be given by the state government for purchasing Murrah buffalo. At the same time, due to the shortage of Murrah species in the state, they will be imported from Haryana.

Under this scheme, only small farmers will be provided two Murrah buffaloes at a subsidy of 50%. In which one buffalo will be given to the pregnant and the other with the child so that the order of getting milk is maintained and the source of income of the farmer is not stopped.

Apart from this, if the buffalo dies within three years, then the buffalo will be given free of cost by the government. Not only this, six months’ grain and fodder will also be given for the buffalo’s diet, so that the farmer does not face any kind of problem.

Sex shared semen will be used to impregnate these buffaloes. Which will only happen to Murrah Bull. Its special thing will be that only female buffaloes will be born from it. Let us tell you that a Murrah buffalo gives 12 to 15 liters of milk daily, which is enough for a small dairy.

Through this scheme, the farmer will get two buffaloes worth 2.5 lakhs only for 62 thousand 500. The purpose of this scheme of the state government is to promote milk production along with helping small farmers financially. According to the state government, this project can start from August.
