Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has said the farmers will get 90% of subsidy on solar pumps instead of 40%. He made the statement at a Kisan Sammelan (farmers’ conference) in Bhopal on Saturday.
Yadav advised the farmers to install solar pumps in their fields, saying they would get the solar pumps with one-step more power capacity. The farmers who have three HP pumps will get five-HP pumps and those who have five-HP pumps will get 7.7-HP power pumps, he said.
The Bhavantar Yojna protects the farmers from the rise and fall of the rates of crops, he said. It happened for the first time that soya bean was brought under the Bhavantar Yojna, Yadav said, adding that the scheme had been brought to give full price to the farmers.
