Under the Crop Diversification Scheme, Farmers in Haryana will Receive a Cash Amount of 3600 Rupees

This initiative by the Haryana government aims at soil conservation and crop diversification. Approximately 31.25 lakh acres of land in Haryana are used for rice cultivation, leading to excessive groundwater depletion and decreasing soil fertility. To address this issue, the government has initiated a natural green revolution, taking several important steps to assist in soil conservation and promote crop diversification.

Crop Diversification in Water-Scare Areas:

Under this scheme, the objective is to promote crop diversification in areas facing water scarcity. This plan is being implemented in Ambala, Fatehabad, Hisar, Jind, Karnal, Kaithal, Kurukshetra, Panipat, Rohtak, Sonipat, Sirsa, and Yamunanagar, where difficulties in rice cultivation have increased due to water scarcity. More than 1.25 lakh acres of land in these areas are being used for rice cultivation.

Major Announcement Government Support for Farmers:

1. For Maize: 2400 rupees per acre Maize producers have reason to rejoice as they will receive 2400 rupees per acre as a reward for their hard work.
2. Significant Relief for Pulses: 3600 rupees per acre Producers of pulses like moong, urad, and arhar will also receive significant relief, with the state government deciding on a subsidy of 3600 rupees per acre for these crops.
3. Increased Support for Popular Wheat: 2000 rupees per acre For the intercrop of popular wheat, the government has decided on increased support of 2000 rupees per acre.

Subsidy on Power-Spray Pump Sets: Additionally, a target of 602 power-spray pump sets has been set, under which a subsidy of 3000 rupees per pump set will be provided.

Selection of Profitable Crops:

1. Maize Selection: Target of 710 acres Maize is considered an important crop in farming areas, and under this initiative, a target of 710 acres has been set. This not only increases the potential for high productivity but can also be a means of providing farmers with additional income.
2. Moong, Urad, and Arhar: Target of 500 acres Under this initiative, moong, urad, and arhar are also given importance, with a target of 500 acres set for them. Choosing these crops can not only increase diversity in farming areas but also encourage excellent production.
