The use of solar pumps is not only helping in conserving groundwater but is also strengthening the rural economy apart from boosting agricultural production.
Tirath Ram, a farmer of Bilha blocks Limha village, thanks the scheme for making him prosperous by taking to multiple crops.
He is emerging as an inspiration for other farmers by cultivating crops like chickpeas, wheat and masoor besides paddy using the solar pump provided under the scheme.
Tirath Ram said his fields are irrigated for the whole day through the solar pump. He is now completely free from the worry of electricity bills.
