Farmers of the North Bastar's Kanker district are seeing positive changes in their lives by using modern techniques in agriculture.
Tribal farmers living in villages located in interior regions face difficulties while irrigating their fields due to the absence of regular electricity supply.
Solar pump installation in fields without electricity provides pollution-free and obstacle-free irrigation facility, that too for free.
With the help of the government schemes, farmers living in interior regions are being encouraged to embrace agriculture even in harsh geographical conditions.
A resident of Choriya village, Maheshwari Vatti said she used to face difficulties in farming on account lack of resources for irrigation.
On learning about the Saur Sujala Yojana of the government, she installed a solar pump with a capacity of 5HP in her fields. She now cultivates crops like madiya, urad and kulthi along with vegetables.
