Income of Bhomin and other farmers increases due to the Saur Sujala Yojna

Raipur | 06-Sep-2022 328

Fields of farmers are turning greener due to better irrigation

Farmers getting 30-40 percent additional profit after the installation of solar pumps

Solar pumps installed in the fields of 55 farmers in Pinkapar and Navagaon.

Raipur /TNIS

Due to the increased awareness among farmers in regard of the Saur Sujala Yojna, they are availing the benefits of this state government's scheme that uses solar energy, which is renewable and has no repurcussions on the environment . Now every village is equipped with solar pumps for the purpose of better irrigation. With the increase in the number of solar pumps installed, the income of farmers has doubled due to the increase in yield due to better irrigation facilities.There is a continuous demand by the farmers for the installation of solar pumps. A total of 4 thousand 116 pumps have been installed by CREDA in Rajnandgaon district so far.

Due to the awareness among the women of the villages of Pinkapar and Navagaon of Chhuria block, solar pumps have been installed in the fields of 55 farmers, in which most of the pumps are installed on the banks of the river bank which are surface pumps. Mrs. Bhomein Bai Kanwar,a resident of the village of Pinkapar said that 5 HP capacity solar pump is installed in her farm, which is sufficient for about 8-10 acres of land. Earlier, due to lack of means of irrigation, they were dependent on monsoon and due to lack of rain on time, the crop batches were ruined. Before the installation of solar pumps, the income from the total land was about Rs.1 lakh 50 thousand. With the installation of solar pumps, now paddy worth Rs 5-6 lakh is being produced in the same field due to adequate irrigation system. After harvesting the paddy crop, they produce wheat, gram, vegetables like bhata, cabbage, barbatti, tomato in which there is an additional income of about 40 to 50 thousand rupees.

Indabati Yadav, Shri Geetalal Yadav, Shri Chanuram Kanwar, Shri Sukalu Ram Kanwar of village Pinkapar told that due to lack of irrigation system, the farm used to remain barren for years. After installing the solar pump, now the income per acre has increased by 30 to 40 percent. Now the whole village is happy because of availing the benefits of the Saur Sujala Yojna which has greatly helped them in their agricultural activities.

Mr. Namsing Sahu, a resident of village Karmari informs that taking inspiration from the Agriculture Department,he has availed the facility of the installation of solar pumps on the banks of the culvert. A total of 10 farmers have installed solar pumps in the village. Now, after the adequate supply of water in the area of irrigation has increased from 4 acres to 10-11 , farmers are now earning an income of 50-60 thousand rupees annually, which is used for the additional production of paddy, gram, wheat, vegetables. Along with the farmers, solar pumps are also being installed in Gauthans. There are many such villages where 15-20 pumps have been installed. The main objective of the solar pump to be set up by the state government under the 'Saur Sujala' scheme is to provide adequate irrigation facilities to the farmers of the state who were earlier dependent on monsoon for their yield.

The use of solar pumps is helping in increasing agricultural production in the state as well as in conserving and promoting ground water and strengthening the rural economy. Collector Doman Singh said that the Saur Sujala Yojana has brought great relief to the farmers and they are becoming financially sound. Farmers do not have to pay any kind of electricity bill for the usage of these pumps, due to which farmers have got freedom from unnecessary expenses. Millions of rupees of electricity are being saved by the installation of solar pumps and proper utilisation of land, coal is being also saved as these pumps run on solar energy which also has an added environmental benefit of getting rid of carbon dioxide and smoke emitted due to burning of coal. District Officer CREDA Mr. Sanket Dwivedi said that this scheme is greatly beneficial for those farmers who do not have proper arrangement for irrigation or in case of non-affordability of electricity extension line till the farmer's field due to financial limitations. Earlier,the farmers were dependent on monsoons ,and in the time of low rainfall,farmers were suffering with low agricultural yield which was making them financially weak. In view of such circumstances, the work of installation of solar energy based irrigation pump is being done by CREDA through Saur Sujala Yojana with the financial support of the Chhattisgarh Government.
