Details

The Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) aims to promote micro irrigation techniques such as drip and sprinkler irrigation in Rajasthan, addressing water scarcity and improving irrigation efficiency. Since 1990-91, the Horticulture Department has been implementing programs under various central and state schemes to encourage these techniques.

The scheme seeks to enhance the use of modern irrigation systems to ensure efficient water use and improve agricultural productivity.
