Diggi Anudan Yojana: The government is giving financial help to farmers for making pits, know full details

Diggi Anudan Yojana: The Diggi Grant Scheme was initiated by the Rajasthani government to alleviate the state’s farmers’ irrigation issues and enhance their financial circumstances. In order to improve agricultural productivity and irrigate crops on schedule, farmers may install Diggis (water storage tanks) in their fields under this program.

The Diggi Grant Scheme: What is it?

Lack of timely rainfall or water availability causes crops to deteriorate in several parts of Rajasthan. Farmers must endure significant financial losses as a result. The Diggi Grant Scheme was put into place by the state government with this issue in mind. Farmers that build Diggi are eligible for government subsidies ranging from 75% to 85% under the program.

How much of a subsidy will be offered?

• Up to 85% of the building of Diggi would be subsidized for small and marginal farmers, with a maximum of Rs 4 lakh.
• Farmers in the general category would get subsidies of up to 75%, with a cap of Rs 3 lakh.

Advantages of the plan

• By storing water in their crops, farmers can eliminate the irrigation issue.
