Prime Minister's Agriculture Irrigation Scheme Accelerates Subsidised Drip Irrigation Distribution in Arid Regions
The government has fast‑tracked the supply of subsidised drip‑irrigation kits to farmers in dry‑land areas to improve water use efficiency and strengthen irrigation facilities.
The Prime Minister's Agriculture Irrigation Scheme has been activated to distribute drip‑irrigation equipment at subsidised rates to farmers in the state's arid regions. The rapid rollout aims to improve irrigation facilities and curb excessive water consumption.
Under the scheme, eligible farmers will receive drip‑irrigation kits at a reduced price, making the technology more affordable for small and marginal cultivators. The initiative is intended to enhance water‑use efficiency and support higher agricultural productivity in water‑scarce zones.
State officials say the distribution will be closely monitored to ensure that the equipment reaches the intended beneficiaries and contributes to sustainable farming practices.
