Haryana Implements Solar Projects under KUSUM Scheme

28 Mar 2024 CW Team

Haryana has taken significant strides in advancing solar projects under the KUSUM (Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahaabhiyan) scheme. This initiative underscores the state's commitment to promoting solar energy adoption among farmers and driving sustainable agricultural practices.

Under the KUSUM scheme, Haryana aims to facilitate the installation of solar power plants on agricultural lands, providing farmers with a reliable source of electricity and additional income through surplus power generation. The initiative aligns with the government's efforts to enhance rural livelihoods, improve energy access, and mitigate carbon emissions.

The implementation of solar projects under the KUSUM scheme reflects Haryana's proactive approach to leveraging renewable energy resources for agricultural development and rural electrification. By incentivizing solar installations on farmlands, the state seeks to address energy challenges while empowering farmers to become self-sufficient energy producers.

Furthermore, the KUSUM scheme promotes the adoption of sustainable irrigation practices through the deployment of solar-powered pumps, reducing dependence on diesel and electricity for water pumping operations. This not only lowers operating costs for farmers but also contributes to environmental conservation and resource efficiency.

As Haryana progresses with the implementation of solar projects under the KUSUM scheme, stakeholders anticipate widespread benefits, including increased agricultural productivity, reduced carbon footprint, and enhanced energy security in rural areas. The initiative underscores the state's commitment to fostering inclusive and sustainable development through renewable energy interventions.
