Khattar said that the Haryana Government will provide incentive to farmers who conserve water. Farmers who sow other crops instead of paddy crops will be provided incentive money. This scheme was implemented last year, under which incentives were given at the rate of Rs 7,000 per acre to the farmers who sow alternative crops (which consume less water) instead of paddy.

As a result, the farmers sowed other crops instead of paddy in 96,000 acres of land. Due to its success in the first year, Haryana Government has decided to encourage farmers under this Scheme this year as well, he said.
