The Government of India is running many schemes to provide irrigation resources in the agriculture sector. Apart from this, irrigation machines are being given to the farmers through these schemes on subsidy. Not only this, cheap electricity is also being provided for irrigation facilities. Under this, a target is fixed every year to provide electricity to farmers’ fields in different states.
In this episode, the Rajasthan government has made a special announcement in view of the need of irrigation in the state.
