Electricity for the farm
The government heralded a new era by electrifying
all the remaining un-electrified villages in India.
PM-KUSUM scheme ensured support to 20 lakh
farmers through subsidy for standalone solar pumps,
reducing their input cost on diesel and electricity.
Another 15 lakh farmers will be helped to solarise
their grid connected pumps.
