Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sichai Yojana a new schemes by modi government-

 

Indian economy is mainly an agricultural economy. Over the past few years, apprehensions of the El Nino episode have kept cultivators and economists anxious. Quite a number of farmer suicides have also been reported across the country. Majority of these are connected to crop failure trailed by shortage of rainfall and insufficient irrigation. Food and retail price hike are obvious outcomes of the situation and this affects the country’s financial system. In 2014-15, food grain production in the country dropped by about 5.3 per cent.

In an effort to upgrade the agricultural efficiency, the government of India has designed a , the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY).

Features of the this new schemes by modi government-

 

As per the recent calculations, out of the 142 million hectares of farming land in India, only about 45 per cent has any provision for built up irrigation. The remaining agricultural farms are reliant only on rainfall for its irrigation requirements. A lag in rainfall or a total failure is dreadful for the farmers and deficiency in crop is the resultant problem countered by the people. The government of India calculates that by shelling out about INR 5300 crore an additional 6 lakh hectares of agricultural land can be brought under irrigational facilities. Apart from this, 5 lakh hectares of land will also receive the profits of drip irrigation as an effect. Small-irrigation schemes (“Har Khet Ko Pani”) and back to back irrigation resolutions will be the main intention of this system.

Apart from the irrigation work, INR 200 crore from this project will be kept aside as Agri-Tech Infrastructure Fund (ATIF) – this is required to improve the National Agricultural Market (NAM). This will provide cultivators easy exposure to the souks for sale of their goods.
