Water is essential for plants and crop production is impossible without it. There are numerous scopes for creating the water potential in the state. With a view to provide water for irrigation, the Government has launched this scheme ‘Jal se Krishi Ko Bal Yojana’.
Under this scheme check dams and ponds are constructed to provide the farmers water for irrigation purpose through installation of small lifting schemes or Flow Irrigation Schemes on individual basis.
