This state is getting money to save water… Provision of up to 85% subsidy to farmers!

Water Harvesting Scheme: Effective use of water in agriculture is being promoted. For this, Per Drop More Crop scheme is being run in many states. You will be surprised to know that by irrigating with less water, production is getting many times more than cash and horticulture crops. Ground water crisis was also a big problem in many areas of the country, but now the micro irrigation model has overcome all these challenges. Adopting this irrigation method has now become even cheaper for the farmers. Under Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana, the central government has made a provision of subsidy to farmers for installation of micro irrigation systems.

On the same lines, Haryana government is also giving subsidy to the farmers for adopting drip and sprinkler irrigation method and installing recharging borewells. The government believes that this will be of great help in saving and storing water. Due to this, the underground water level can also be recovered.

85% grant for micro irrigation

Most of the dependence for irrigation in agriculture remains on underground water. To maintain this, crops with high consumption of water are being discouraged. Instead, cultivation of horticulture crops is being encouraged.

Along with this, farmers are being given subsidy on recharging borewells for adopting micro irrigation model. At the Krishi Vikas Mela organized in Hisar, Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar said that looking at the time, we need to reduce water consumption.

For this, drip and sprinkler irrigation will have to be adopted. It is cheap and convenient for the farmers, because the state government is also giving 85% subsidy to the farmers for adopting micro irrigation.
