The scheme aims to support agriculture activities on a sustainable basis by conservation of rainwater in the field, enriching surface and groundwater availability. Only those farmers who have installed drip or sprinkler sets in financial year 2017-18 or thereafter and currently in operational condition will be granted approval for subsidized pond construction.
