CM Minor Irrigation Scheme: Fortunes of farmer brothers have opened up, they will get pump sets along with relief from irrigation problems
CM Minor Irrigation Scheme: The Uttar Pradesh government is continuously running many programs to increase the convenience of farmers. In this episode, the state government has started a program to increase the profits of farmers at low cost. Actually, the problem of irrigation is the biggest in farming, especially in summer or when the rain is late. In such a situation, it becomes difficult to deliver water to the fields. Under the Chief Minister’s Minor Irrigation Scheme, the state government has given another big relief in view of the problems of the farmers.
What is the Chief Minister’s Minor Irrigation Scheme
Under this program, farmers are given cash assistance to complete difficult tasks. Farmers of the general category get 70% government grants, while Scheduled Caste farmers get up to 90% grants. In other words, farmers will no longer have to pay more money from their pockets, which will solve the problem of irrigation to a great extent.
“First come, first serve” principle
According to Naval Kishore, a boring technician appointed in Bijua block, farmers who get boring done under the Chief Minister’s Minor Irrigation Scheme will now also get a 6.5 HP pump set engine. For this, farmers will have to deposit only 23 thousand rupees. Also, a tank will be built to stop water in the field. This will make it easier for farmers to irrigate. A target of 15 pump set engines has been set for common farmers in the Bijua block. In this case, the selection will be on the principle of “first come, first served.” In other words, the farmer who applies first will be rewarded.
Method of application
Interested farmers can apply for this program through the Minor Irrigation Department located in the development block of their district. Eligible farmers will be selected after verification of the application on the spot by the departmental officers. For this, an Aadhar card, passport-size photo, and copy of Khatauni will be required.
