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 various programs under central and state schemes to encourage these methods. The state has shown significant interest in sprinkler irrigation, leading to Rajasthan being the top state in the country in terms of area irrigated by this technique. However, the adoption of drip irrigation has been comparatively low due to high costs, lack of awareness, and inadequate technical support. The scheme seeks to enhance the efficiency of irrigation water use through modern irrigation systems, thereby increasing agricultural productivity and quality.
