💧 Good News for Farmers: Karnataka Government Offering 90% Subsidy on Diesel Pump Sets – A Revolution in Irrigation! 💧
🌾 Introduction: A Big Relief for Farmers from the Karnataka Government
The Department of Agriculture and Horticulture, Government of Karnataka, has launched a new initiative to make farmers’ lives easier. Now, farmers across the state can get diesel pump sets at a 90% subsidy, enabling them to efficiently manage irrigation even during power shortages or outages.
This initiative, implemented under Krishi Bhagya, National Horticulture Mission, and Farm Machinery Subsidy Scheme, aims to reduce the financial burden on farmers and improve agricultural productivity.
