Implementing Solar Irrigation Sustainably

29 May 2023

The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM) scheme, launched in 2019 by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, aims to transform India's agriculture sector by improving crop productivity and increasing farm incomes through the solarization of the agriculture sector. This document forms the second part of a guidebook series, providing recommendations to state policy-makers on how they can implement solar irrigation models effectively and sustainably. This guidebook covers Component A and the subcomponent "Feeder-Level Solarization" under the Component C of PM-KUSUM. The previous guidebook addressed Component B and the subcomponent "Individual Pump Solarization" under Component C.
