The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthan Mahabhiyan
(PM-KUSUM) Scheme, launched in 2019, aims to enhance energy security for
farmers in India and promote the use of clean energy in the agriculture
sector. The scheme seeks to achieve Indias commitment to increasing the
share of non-fossil fuel sources in the countrys installed capacity of
electric power. In a bid to boost the implementation of solar projects
on agricultural lands, the central government is considering linking
thePM-KUSUM schemewith the Agriculture Infrastructure
Fund (AIF). This move aims to provide farmers with access to cheaper
loans for setting up solar projects and procuring equipment.
