State Government Revives Agricultural Pond Scheme, Offers Up to 80% Subsidy for Dryland Farmers
The government has re‑launched the agricultural pond program, providing up to 80% subsidy for micro‑irrigation and pond construction to support dryland cultivators.
The state government announced the re‑activation of the agricultural pond scheme aimed at dryland farming areas.
Under the scheme, eligible farmers can receive up to 80% subsidy for constructing agricultural ponds and installing micro‑irrigation (drip) systems.
The initiative is intended to improve water availability, boost crop yields and reduce dependence on erratic rainfall.
Applications will be processed through existing agricultural extension offices, with funds drawn from the state’s irrigation budget.
Officials expect the programme to enhance farmer resilience and contribute to sustainable agriculture in the region.
