Chhattisgarh Farmer Reaps Benefits from Solar Irrigation Scheme

Dhamtari, November 1 (Daily Kiran) : Farmers in Dhamtari, Chhattisgarh, are experiencing significant benefits from the central government’s Solar Sujala Scheme, aimed at promoting self-reliance and advancement in agriculture. One such farmer, Indresh Ghate, has transformed his farming practices thanks to this initiative.

Indresh, who previously relied on expensive electricity for irrigation, now uses solar energy to water his fields, greatly reducing his costs. He noted that the installation of solar pumps has made it possible to irrigate his crops at any time of the day, relieving him from the burden of high electricity expenses.

With the advantages of the Solar Sujala Scheme, Indresh has seen a decrease in his farming costs and an increase in his income. He emphasized the environmental benefits of using solar energy for irrigation, contributing to a more sustainable farming practice.

Expressing gratitude towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi for this initiative, Indresh stated that the scheme has empowered him to become self-sufficient. He believes it is a transformative program that brings prosperity to farmers’ lives. By adopting solar energy through the Solar Sujala Scheme, farmers in Dhamtari are making agriculture easier and more cost-effective.

Indresh shared, “I cultivate on five acres of land. Previously, I was reliant on electricity for irrigation, resulting in high bills. After learning about the Solar Sujala Scheme, I installed solar panels in my fields. This has freed me from electricity bills and doubled my income.”

He further added, “Since PM Modi took office, several welfare schemes for farmers have been launched, providing us with direct benefits. I express my gratitude for his leadership, which is guiding the country towards progress.”
