Farmers Will Receive A 90% Subsidy On Drip Irrigation Systems

Farmers can get a subsidy on drip irrigation systems through the Micro Irrigation Scheme, which is part of the PM Krishi Sinchai Yojana. Drip irrigation is also referred to as the drip irrigation technique. When this system is used in the field, water is delivered to each plant's roots drop by drop. There is no water waste, and every drop is used in irrigating the field. Irrigation with this system keeps moisture in the soil, so the plant doesn't need as much water. Farmers can thus produce more crops with less water by using drip irrigation.

In this series, the Bihar government provides farmers with a 90 percent subsidy for installing drip irrigation systems in their fields. Farmers in the state can apply for a subsidy to purchase and install drip irrigation systems through the Bihar government's scheme. As a result, approximately 60% of the water will be saved, and manure and fertilizer consumption will be reduced by 25 to 30%. The grant benefit is transferred to the farmers' accounts via DBT. Explain that the GST subsidy will not be paid under this scheme. The farmer will be responsible for paying GST.
