The district has a relatively high penetration of banks in rural and semi-rural areas, facilitating higher access to institutional credit for farmers. The district has a relatively high proportion of small and marginal farmers. The district appears in the group of districts, which show (very) low vulnerability towards climate change, as per an index constructed by CRIDA.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Individually owned off-grid solar pumps<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Not Suitable<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The district has ground water available below the safe limit, a comparatively low concentration of diesel pump users, low crop revenue per holding, and a relatively low disbursement of institutional credit, making it extremely difficult to promote the private ownership of solar pumps here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Solarisation of feeders<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The district has a relatively high penetration of electric pumps, and its DISCOM incurs a high cost for supplying power, but the district has a comparatively low extent of feeder segregation. Solarisation of the feeders will only be possible once the district separates agricultural feeders from the rest.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Limited SUitability<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The district has a relatively high concentration of small and marginal farmers, and a rather high proportion of unirrigated area, but groundwater availability is below the safe limit. Water conservation and efficient irrigation practices (such as drip irrigation) should be considered while promoting solar-based water as a service, in order to improve the economic viability of the model, increase water availability, and decrease the effective cost of irrigation in the district.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Limited Suitability<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The district has a comparatively high disbursement of institutional credit to marginal farmers and a relatively high proportion of horticulture crops under gross cropped area. But groundwater availability below safe limit and a rather low concentration of marginal farmers limits the demand for 1 HP and sub-HP pumps in the district.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Solarisation of individual grid-connected pumps<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Limited suitability<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

The district has a relatively high penetration of electric pumps and power supply to its agriculture consumers is heavily subsidised. But the district has a comparatively low extent of feeder segregation and its groundwater availability is below the safe limits. Solarisation of individual grid-connected pumps will only be possible once the district separates agricultural feeders from the rest. Further the approach should be taken up with extreme caution as it may aggrevate the groundwater depletion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Leveraging Solar Pumps to Promote Policy Objectives<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you are deploying solar pumps in this district then you can further these policy objectives.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Har Khet ko Pani<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A relatively high proportion of the net sown area in the district is unirrigated, indicating high irrigation demand. Solar pumps can help improve access to underground irrigation as part of Har Khet ko Pani.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Doubling Farmers’ Income – Capital Investment<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Given the high concentration of small and marginal farmers, and their relatively better access to institutional credit, the district is suitable for doubling farmers’ income through capital investment. Solar pumps could be one of the farm technologies to invest in for farmers, especially 1 HP or sub-HP pumps for marginal farmers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Doubling Farmers’ Income – Crop Intensity<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A relatively high proportion of the district’s net sown area is unirrigated. Lack of access to irrigation is one of the major barriers to growing crops beyond two conventional seasons, rabi and kharif. Ensuring irrigation access through solar power will help improve cropping intensity and move towards the aim of doubling farmers’ income by 2022.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

National Mission on Oilseeds and Oil Palm (NMOOP)<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The relatively low share of oilseeds and oil palm crops under gross sown area in the district makes it a suitable candidate for promoting NMOOP. Solar pumps could meet irrigation needs for these crops and help farmers diversify their yields beyond cereals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Per Drop More Crop<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the district, crops suitable for drip and sprinkler irrigation occupy a relatively high proportion of gross cropped area, making it easy to adopt such high precision irrigation methods. Solar pumps, along with other efficient and precise water application devices, could be deployed under Per Drop More Crop to promote efficient irrigation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
