The PM Kusum Yojana Looks to introduce Rural India towards Organic Farming

by Kusum Yogana Kusum Yojana Apply Online
The rural farming society is the backbone of Indian society and they have been feeding the population for a long time. However, farming is a risky profession and you are perhaps aware that a lot depends upon the rainfall. A farmer borrows heavily right at the onset of the season and if there is a bad crop, the entire efforts go down in vain. It is alongside that the farmer lies neck-deep in debt and often this leads to suicides. It is to prevent such occurrences that the government of the day has introduced the PM Kusum Yojana scheme. This is the latest initiative on the part of the current government to support the farming community.
 
An insight into the scheme
 
The intent behind the PM Kusum Yojana is to modernize farming and the government of the day has a full proof plan in place. The setting up of tube walls is an integral part of farming and previously the farmers had to borrow money at high-interest rates from money lenders. It is under the Kusum Yojana that a farmer can set up tube wells. The scheme also offers scope for a farmer to work on pumps.
 
The pump may need an upgrade
 
It is perhaps long ago that one upgraded the pump and this current year before the harvesting season, it will need an upgrade. A pump is more required for farming during the winter crops. This is a time of the year when the field lacks water and via a pump, a farmer can drag water to the field from a nearby canal. There is a need to make sure that the pump is in a fine state and this scheme offers financial support in this regard. One must also note that this scheme helps a farmer to gain access to Organic Farming Products.
 
The farming community needs some modernization
 
The farming community indeed needs modernization and the government via this scheme has looked to offer it. There is a scope to focus on organic farming products. As you are discussing pumps, the focus can be on solar pumps. The scheme allows farmers to install these pumps and the first benefit is the low operating costs. The reason for the decline in operating costs is because the energy comes directly from the sun. These pumps are easy to relocate and this is the second benefit of this variety. The third point to note is that these pumps require very little maintenance. If the PV panels of the pump losses its efficiency, there is scope to replace them separately.
 
The solar pump has been a valuable addition to modern farming and under this scheme; a farmer can change to this concept of farming. It would however be wrong to say that the scheme only caters to the farming society. The scheme also offers support to factory owners who intend to use solar power for construction activity. One can say that the scheme is about modernizing India under the guidance of PM Narendra Modi.
