Farmers opting for PM-KUSUM to get daytime power for irrigation

Gandhinagar: With an eye on the state-wide taluka and district panchayat elections scheduled later this year, the state government plans to provide power supply to farmers during daytime. Farmers are currently being supplied electricity only during night hours to irrigate their fields.

Farmers who opt to promote use of solar power under Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM) scheme will be eligible to receive electricity for irrigating their fields during the day hours.
