Irrigation Pipeline Subsidy: Many of the nation’s farmers lack the funds necessary to purchase pricey irrigation equipment. As a result, their crops suffer from a shortage of water. The federal and state governments are implementing a number of programs to address this issue. With the demands of farmers in mind, the Rajasthani government has initiated the irrigation pipeline project in this direction. Farmers will get financial assistance for the purchase of irrigation pipes under this program, which will conserve water and improve the efficiency of field irrigation.

Farmers will directly gain

Farmers may directly supply their crops with water from ponds, wells, and other sources by installing pipes. This would save water waste and lower irrigation costs by doing away with the need to use conventional techniques like drains or oxen to pull water. Hundreds of liters of water are sometimes lost while transporting water from open sources to the fields; however, by using a pipeline, water may be conserved and sent straight to the field.

Farmers will get financial aid from the state government to cover the cost of water transportation and pipe purchases.
Up to Rs 1000 or half of the entire cost, whichever is lower, is the cost of water transportation.

HDPE pipe costs Rs 50 per meter, with a maximum purchase price of Rs 15,000.
PVC pipes cost Rs 35 per meter, with a maximum purchase price of Rs 15,000.
