India is an agricultural country, because most of the people here are involved in agricultural work. But the biggest problem in farming is electricity, because due to lack of adequate supply of electricity, farmers are troubled during farming. But due to solar pumps, today farmers easily get water at low cost. Today we will tell you how a solar pump works and how effective it is.
Solar Pump
Irrigation is most important in farming. Due to lack of timely irrigation, the crop of farmers gets spoiled. At the same time, irrigation through pumpset is very costly, because diesel is required in the pumpset. At the same time, solar pump is such a means, which gives relief to farmer brothers from electricity bill. Not only this, it is also beneficial for the environment. Today, under many schemes of the government, subsidy is given to farmers for installing solar pumps. However, its cost depends on the irrigation needs in farming, the nature of the soil of the field and the capacity of the solar pump.
Government schemes
Apart from this, you can also take advantage of government schemes to install solar pumps. The government also gives subsidy to farmers for installing solar pumps under many schemes. One of these is Kusum Yojana. Under this scheme, farmers are given 60% subsidy for installing solar pumps. Apart from farmers, these pumps are also made available free of cost to panchayats and cooperative societies. Apart from this, the government gives loan up to 30 percent of the cost for setting up solar pump plants around the fields. This is the reason why farmers have to spend only ten percent on this project. This scheme can solve the irrigation problem of farmers. Because farmer brothers have to spend more money on irrigation with electric or diesel pumps. Therefore, by installing solar pumps, farmers can irrigate their fields at a very low cost.
How to get the benefit of the scheme
To avail the benefits of the scheme, farmers should have some important documents. Which should include the farmer’s Aadhaar card, farmer’s ration card, farmer’s bank account details.
