This transition provides farmers with a reliable power supply, support micro and improve both crop yield and farmers income.
Additionally, farmers can also earn extra income by selling extra electricity back to the grid. The PM is the largest of the several government schemes encouraging solar pump adoption benefits, state governments and electricity boards by simplifying power supply management.
