Get Up To 75% Subsidy on Irrigation Equipment; More Irrigation Will be Possible With Less Water

Subsidies will be Available for Micro Irrigation System, Resulting in Lower Crop Production Costs and Higher Profits

This year's monsoon pattern in the country was unclear. Flooding has occurred in many states across the country as a result of excessive rains, while some states have experienced below-average rainfall & droughts. Meanwhile, farmers in Rajasthan are suffering greatly as a result of the serious problem of climate change.

Both the government and farmers are concerned about groundwater depletion. Farmers are losing a lot of money in agriculture this year due to a lack of an adequate irrigation system in the state. In light of all of these issues, the Rajasthan government has emphasized farmers' initiative to change farming methods.

New crop irrigation options are also being investigated. So that the exploitation of underground water in agriculture is reduced, more production can be obtained with less water, and every drop of water can be used properly. The Rajasthan Horticulture Department is promoting drip, mini sprinkler, and sprinkler irrigation technology for this purpose.

The Rajasthan government offers up to a 75% subsidy to small/marginal / Women / ST / SC farmers who set up micro irrigation plants. At the same time, other farmers can receive up to a 70% subsidy.
