high irrigation demand. In the district, horticulture crops occupy a relatively high proportion of gross cropped area, raising the economic viability of solar pumps here. Overall, water availability for irrigation in the district (based on ground water development and long-term trends of water level decline) is within the safe limit, enhancing long-term sustainability of solar pumps. The average monthly per capita expenditure of rural agricultural households is relatively high for the district, suggesting higher purchasing capacity of the farmers here. 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<!-- \\\/wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n<!-- wp:heading -->\\r\\n<h2 class=\\\"hc-brand-header-m\\\">Deployment Approaches<\\\/h2>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:heading -->\\r\\n<figure class=\\\"wp-block-table has-70-percent-width\\\">\\r\\n    <!-- wp:table {\\\"className\\\":\\\"is-style-regular has-70-percent-width\\\"} -->\\r\\n    <table>\\r\\n        <thead>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                <th class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Approaches<\\\/th>\\r\\n                <th class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Feasibility<\\\/th>\\r\\n            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n        <\\\/thead>\\r\\n        <tbody>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Individually owned off-grid solar pumps<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Limited Suitability<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Solarisation of feeders<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Not Suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Solar based water as a service<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Promote 1 HP and sub-HP pumps<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Solarisation of individual grid-connected pumps<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Not suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n        <\\\/tbody>\\r\\n    <\\\/table>\\r\\n    <!-- \\\/wp:table -->\\r\\n<\\\/figure>\\r\\n<br>\\r\\n<!-- wp:heading {\\\"level\\\":3} -->\\r\\n<h3 class=\\\"hc-brand-header-s hc-mb-8\\\">Individually owned off-grid solar pumps<\\\/h3>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:heading -->\\r\\n\\r\\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n<p class=\\\"hc-brand-reading hc-text-primary-main\\\">Limited Suitability<\\\/p>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n\\r\\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n<p>The district has ground water available within the safe limit and a relatively high disbursement of institutional credit.

Overall, water availability for irrigation in the district (based on ground water development and long-term trends of water level decline) is within the safe limit, enhancing long-term sustainability of solar pumps. The average monthly per capita expenditure of rural agricultural households is relatively high for the district, suggesting higher purchasing capacity of the farmers here. The number of medium and long-term institutional loans disbursed in the district is comparatively large, suggesting the availability of credit amongst farmers for potential investments. 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<!-- \\\/wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n<!-- wp:heading -->\\r\\n<h2 class=\\\"hc-brand-header-m\\\">Deployment Approaches<\\\/h2>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:heading -->\\r\\n<figure class=\\\"wp-block-table has-70-percent-width\\\">\\r\\n    <!-- wp:table {\\\"className\\\":\\\"is-style-regular has-70-percent-width\\\"} -->\\r\\n    <table>\\r\\n        <thead>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                <th class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Approaches<\\\/th>\\r\\n                <th class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Feasibility<\\\/th>\\r\\n            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n        <\\\/thead>\\r\\n        <tbody>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Individually owned off-grid solar pumps<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Limited Suitability<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Solarisation of feeders<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Not Suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Solar based water as a service<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Limited Suitability<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Promote 1 HP and sub-HP pumps<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Solarisation of individual grid-connected pumps<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Not suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n        <\\\/tbody>\\r\\n    <\\\/table>\\r\\n    <!-- \\\/wp:table -->\\r\\n<\\\/figure>\\r\\n<br>\\r\\n<!-- wp:heading {\\\"level\\\":3} -->\\r\\n<h3 class=\\\"hc-brand-header-s hc-mb-8\\\">Individually owned off-grid solar pumps<\\\/h3>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:heading -->\\r\\n\\r\\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n<p class=\\\"hc-brand-reading hc-text-primary-main\\\">Limited Suitability<\\\/p>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n\\r\\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n<p>The district has ground water available within the safe limit and a relatively high disbursement of institutional credit.

The average monthly per capita expenditure of rural agricultural households is relatively high for the district, suggesting higher purchasing capacity of the farmers here.

In the district, horticulture crops occupy a relatively high proportion of gross cropped area, raising the economic viability of solar pumps here. Overall, water availability for irrigation in the district (based on ground water development and long-term trends of water level decline) is within the safe limit, enhancing long-term sustainability of solar pumps. The average monthly per capita expenditure of rural agricultural households is relatively high for the district, suggesting higher purchasing capacity of the farmers here. 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<!-- \\\/wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n<!-- wp:heading -->\\r\\n<h2 class=\\\"hc-brand-header-m\\\">Deployment Approaches<\\\/h2>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:heading -->\\r\\n<figure class=\\\"wp-block-table has-70-percent-width\\\">\\r\\n    <!-- wp:table {\\\"className\\\":\\\"is-style-regular has-70-percent-width\\\"} -->\\r\\n    <table>\\r\\n        <thead>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                <th class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Approaches<\\\/th>\\r\\n                <th class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Feasibility<\\\/th>\\r\\n            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n        <\\\/thead>\\r\\n        <tbody>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Individually owned off-grid solar pumps<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Limited Suitability<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Solarisation of feeders<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Not Suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Solar based water as a service<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Promote 1 HP and sub-HP pumps<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Solarisation of individual grid-connected pumps<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Not suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n        <\\\/tbody>\\r\\n    <\\\/table>\\r\\n    <!-- \\\/wp:table -->\\r\\n<\\\/figure>\\r\\n<br>\\r\\n<!-- wp:heading {\\\"level\\\":3} -->\\r\\n<h3 class=\\\"hc-brand-header-s hc-mb-8\\\">Individually owned off-grid solar pumps<\\\/h3>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:heading -->\\r\\n\\r\\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n<p class=\\\"hc-brand-reading hc-text-primary-main\\\">Limited Suitability<\\\/p>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n\\r\\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n<p>The district has ground water available within the safe limit and a relatively high disbursement of institutional credit.

Overall, water availability for irrigation in the district (based on ground water development and long-term trends of water level decline) is within the safe limit, enhancing long-term sustainability of solar pumps. The average monthly per capita expenditure of rural agricultural households is relatively high for the district, suggesting higher purchasing capacity of the farmers here. The number of medium and long-term institutional loans disbursed in the district is comparatively large, suggesting the availability of credit amongst farmers for potential investments. 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<!-- \\\/wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n<!-- wp:heading -->\\r\\n<h2 class=\\\"hc-brand-header-m\\\">Deployment Approaches<\\\/h2>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:heading -->\\r\\n<figure class=\\\"wp-block-table has-70-percent-width\\\">\\r\\n    <!-- wp:table {\\\"className\\\":\\\"is-style-regular has-70-percent-width\\\"} -->\\r\\n    <table>\\r\\n        <thead>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                <th class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Approaches<\\\/th>\\r\\n                <th class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Feasibility<\\\/th>\\r\\n            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n        <\\\/thead>\\r\\n        <tbody>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Individually owned off-grid solar pumps<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Limited Suitability<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Solarisation of feeders<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Not Suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Solar based water as a service<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Promote 1 HP and sub-HP pumps<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Solarisation of individual grid-connected pumps<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Not suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n        <\\\/tbody>\\r\\n    <\\\/table>\\r\\n    <!-- \\\/wp:table -->\\r\\n<\\\/figure>\\r\\n<br>\\r\\n<!-- wp:heading {\\\"level\\\":3} -->\\r\\n<h3 class=\\\"hc-brand-header-s hc-mb-8\\\">Individually owned off-grid solar pumps<\\\/h3>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:heading -->\\r\\n\\r\\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n<p class=\\\"hc-brand-reading hc-text-primary-main\\\">Limited Suitability<\\\/p>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n\\r\\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n<p>The district has ground water available within the safe limit and a relatively high disbursement of institutional credit.

Overall, water availability for irrigation in the district (based on ground water development and long-term trends of water level decline) is within the safe limit, enhancing long-term sustainability of solar pumps. The average monthly per capita expenditure of rural agricultural households is relatively high for the district, suggesting higher purchasing capacity of the farmers here. There is a comparatively low level of farm mechanization, possibly due to low awareness or poor outlook towards progressive technologies amongst the farmers here. The district has a relatively high proportion of small and marginal farmers.<\\\/p>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n<!-- wp:heading -->\\r\\n<h2 class=\\\"hc-brand-header-m\\\">Deployment Approaches<\\\/h2>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:heading -->\\r\\n<figure class=\\\"wp-block-table has-70-percent-width\\\">\\r\\n    <!-- wp:table {\\\"className\\\":\\\"is-style-regular has-70-percent-width\\\"} -->\\r\\n    <table>\\r\\n        <thead>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                <th class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Approaches<\\\/th>\\r\\n                <th class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Feasibility<\\\/th>\\r\\n            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n        <\\\/thead>\\r\\n        <tbody>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Individually owned off-grid solar pumps<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Limited Suitability<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Solarisation of feeders<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Not Suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Solar based water as a service<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Promote 1 HP and sub-HP pumps<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Solarisation of individual grid-connected pumps<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Not suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n        <\\\/tbody>\\r\\n    <\\\/table>\\r\\n    <!-- \\\/wp:table -->\\r\\n<\\\/figure>\\r\\n<br>\\r\\n<!-- wp:heading {\\\"level\\\":3} -->\\r\\n<h3 class=\\\"hc-brand-header-s hc-mb-8\\\">Individually owned off-grid solar pumps<\\\/h3>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:heading -->\\r\\n\\r\\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n<p class=\\\"hc-brand-reading hc-text-primary-main\\\">Limited Suitability<\\\/p>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n\\r\\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n<p>The district has ground water available within the safe limit and a relatively high disbursement of institutional credit.

In the district, horticulture crops occupy a relatively high proportion of gross cropped area, raising the economic viability of solar pumps here. Overall, water availability for irrigation in the district (based on ground water development and long-term trends of water level decline) is within the safe limit, enhancing long-term sustainability of solar pumps. The average monthly per capita expenditure of rural agricultural households is relatively high for the district, suggesting higher purchasing capacity of the farmers here. It has a relatively low penetration of banks in rural and semi-rural areas, impeding  access to institutional credit for farmers.

Overall, water availability for irrigation in the district (based on ground water development and long-term trends of water level decline) is within the safe limit, enhancing long-term sustainability of solar pumps. The average monthly per capita expenditure of rural agricultural households is relatively high for the district, suggesting higher purchasing capacity of the farmers here. The district has a relatively high penetration of banks in rural and semi-rural areas, facilitating higher access to institutional credit for farmers.

In the district, horticulture crops occupy a relatively high proportion of gross cropped area, raising the economic viability of solar pumps here. Overall, water availability for irrigation in the district (based on ground water development and long-term trends of water level decline) is within the safe limit, enhancing long-term sustainability of solar pumps. The average monthly per capita expenditure of rural agricultural households is relatively high for the district, suggesting higher purchasing capacity of the farmers here. There is a comparatively low level of farm mechanization, possibly due to low awareness or poor outlook towards progressive technologies amongst the farmers here. 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<!-- \\\/wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n<!-- wp:heading -->\\r\\n<h2 class=\\\"hc-brand-header-m\\\">Deployment Approaches<\\\/h2>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:heading -->\\r\\n<figure class=\\\"wp-block-table has-70-percent-width\\\">\\r\\n    <!-- wp:table {\\\"className\\\":\\\"is-style-regular has-70-percent-width\\\"} -->\\r\\n    <table>\\r\\n        <thead>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                <th class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Approaches<\\\/th>\\r\\n                <th class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Feasibility<\\\/th>\\r\\n            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n        <\\\/thead>\\r\\n        <tbody>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Individually owned off-grid solar pumps<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Limited Suitability<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Solarisation of feeders<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Not Suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Solar based water as a service<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Promote 1 HP and sub-HP pumps<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Solarisation of individual grid-connected pumps<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Not suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n        <\\\/tbody>\\r\\n    <\\\/table>\\r\\n    <!-- \\\/wp:table -->\\r\\n<\\\/figure>\\r\\n<br>\\r\\n<!-- wp:heading {\\\"level\\\":3} -->\\r\\n<h3 class=\\\"hc-brand-header-s hc-mb-8\\\">Individually owned off-grid solar pumps<\\\/h3>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:heading -->\\r\\n\\r\\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n<p class=\\\"hc-brand-reading hc-text-primary-main\\\">Limited Suitability<\\\/p>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n\\r\\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n<p>The district has ground water available within the safe limit and a relatively high disbursement of institutional credit.

Overall, water availability for irrigation in the district (based on ground water development and long-term trends of water level decline) is within the safe limit, enhancing long-term sustainability of solar pumps. The average monthly per capita expenditure of rural agricultural households is relatively high for the district, suggesting higher purchasing capacity of the farmers here. The number of medium and long-term institutional loans disbursed in the district is comparatively large, suggesting the availability of credit amongst farmers for potential investments.

Overall, water availability for irrigation in the district (based on ground water development and long-term trends of water level decline) is within the safe limit, enhancing long-term sustainability of solar pumps. The average monthly per capita expenditure of rural agricultural households is relatively high for the district, suggesting higher purchasing capacity of the farmers here. The number of medium and long-term institutional loans disbursed in the district is comparatively large, suggesting the availability of credit amongst farmers for potential investments. There is a comparatively low level of farm mechanization, possibly due to low awareness or poor outlook towards progressive technologies amongst the farmers here. 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<!-- \\\/wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n<!-- wp:heading -->\\r\\n<h2 class=\\\"hc-brand-header-m\\\">Deployment Approaches<\\\/h2>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:heading -->\\r\\n<figure class=\\\"wp-block-table has-70-percent-width\\\">\\r\\n    <!-- wp:table {\\\"className\\\":\\\"is-style-regular has-70-percent-width\\\"} -->\\r\\n    <table>\\r\\n        <thead>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                <th class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Approaches<\\\/th>\\r\\n                <th class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Feasibility<\\\/th>\\r\\n            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n        <\\\/thead>\\r\\n        <tbody>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Individually owned off-grid solar pumps<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Limited Suitability<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Solarisation of feeders<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Not Suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Solar based water as a service<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Promote 1 HP and sub-HP pumps<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Limited Suitability<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n            <tr>\\r\\n                                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-left\\\" data-align=\\\"left\\\">Solarisation of individual grid-connected pumps<\\\/td>\\r\\n                    <td class=\\\"has-text-align-right\\\" data-align=\\\"right\\\">Not suitable<\\\/td>\\r\\n                            <\\\/tr>\\r\\n        <\\\/tbody>\\r\\n    <\\\/table>\\r\\n    <!-- \\\/wp:table -->\\r\\n<\\\/figure>\\r\\n<br>\\r\\n<!-- wp:heading {\\\"level\\\":3} -->\\r\\n<h3 class=\\\"hc-brand-header-s hc-mb-8\\\">Individually owned off-grid solar pumps<\\\/h3>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:heading -->\\r\\n\\r\\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n<p class=\\\"hc-brand-reading hc-text-primary-main\\\">Limited Suitability<\\\/p>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n\\r\\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n<p>The district has ground water available within the safe limit and a relatively high disbursement of institutional credit.
