Chandigarh: Despite the fact that Punjab has witnessed the crisis of the worst power of this rice season and the expense of the state government because the free strength given to farmers for operating water pumps or tubewells has touched Rs 6,735 Crore this year, this country, t falls back on the water pump Solar powered too much, the opposite will help clearly from the crisis.
Punjab is far behind his neighbor Haryana in the installation of solar water pumps.
On a total of 14,254 solar water pumps were installed in Haryana, Punjab almost became 2.925 until now.
Under Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Surakha Evam Utthuita Mahabhiyan (PM-Kusum) The new and renewable energy ministry scheme, 121 solar water pumps have also been installed in neighboring Himachal Pradesh.
Providing this information during the ongoing Monsoon session from parliament, the minister of new and renewable energy and Power RK Singh said to install this solar pump, the central government has released financial support Rs 62 Crore to the Government Haryana, Rs 20 Crore to the Government of Punjab and almost Rs 3 Crore to the Government of Himachal Pradesh.
Overall, a total of 47,726 solar pumps have been installed in 13 countries until June 30 where central assistance from RS 308 Crore has been provided.

In accordance with the 2015 Agricultural Census, almost 10.92 lakh farmers operate more than 13.51 lakh tubewells throughout Punjab.
When the Southwest Monsun was delayed this year when the sow of sowing rice was full, farmers also faced power shortages for their tubewell because of increased power demand for domestic consumers in the middle of the heat mantra.
Because the Punjab government was forced to divert electricity to the agricultural sector for the early eight hours this month, he had to impose power outages in the industry and domestic consumers in addition to cutting work hours in working-hour workers in working-hour workers in the office-hour Work in work-hour workers in working hours in working-hour workers in working-hour workers in working office in working office in the government office.

The PM-Kusum scheme was launched on March 8, 2019, with the purpose of the 15 lamh agriculture water pump solarization that is connected to the existing grid, the installation of 20 lakh standalone off-grid solar water pumps and the installation of 10,000 megawatt solar capacity of small plants each capacity of up to 2 megawatts on barren or stairs.
The Union Minister also told Lok Sabha that the terms of sales of surplus power through pump solaries connected to individual networks have been made based on this scheme.
“Because the recent pump solarization began, the excess power billing sold by farmers has not been reported by the State Implementation Agency,” he added.
