To reduce power consumption, the government is promoting the production of renewable energy. Under this, ‘Kusum Yojana’ is being run by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. Under this, solar plants and solar pumps are given on subsidy to benefit the farmers.
In this direction, the Madhya Pradesh government has made a good decision to provide economic benefits to the farmers. Under this, the state government has started the ‘Mukhyamantri Solar Pump Scheme’. Through this scheme, soon solar pumps of up to 10 horsepower will be installed on the farmers’ fields.
Through this scheme, a target has been set to install solar pumps in the fields of 50 thousand farmers in the state. In the scheme, priority has been given to one thousand such farmers, who do not have the availability of electricity. At the same time, with the help of this scheme, the farmers will be able to save electricity and diesel separately.
The state government has planned to provide grants ranging from Rs 50,000 to Rs 2.5 lakh for different solar pumps. To avail of the benefits of the scheme, the applicant has to visit the online application portal cmsolarpump.mp.gov.in. Here farmers can submit applications for Solar Pump and can get the relevant information.
