Horticulture crops occupy a relatively low proportion of gross cropped area in the district, diminishing 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. For average crop revenue per holding, the district appears among the top 25 percentile of districts, implying higher investment 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 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 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\\\">Suitable<\\\/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\\\">Limited Suitability<\\\/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\\\">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\\\">Limited suitability<\\\/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\\\">Suitable<\\\/p>\\r\\n<!-- \\\/wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n\\r\\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\\r\\n<p>Availability of groundwater within the safe limit, a comparatively high concentration of diesel pump users, a relatively high crop revenue per holding, and institutional credit disbursed in relatively large amounts in the district make it a suitable candidate for the promotion of solar-based irrigation through the private ownership of solar pumps.

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 low for the district, suggesting poor 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 number of medium and long-term institutional loans disbursed in the district is comparatively small, suggesting poor availability of credit amongst farmers for potential investments. There is a comparatively high level of farm mechanization in the district, implying a positive outlook towards progressive technologies amongst the farmers. The district has a relatively high proportion of small and marginal farmers.

The district has a relatively high penetration of banks in rural and semi-rural areas, facilitating higher access to institutional credit for farmers. 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\\\">Limited Suitability<\\\/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.
