Full guide
What the scheme gives you
Water is scarce across much of Rajasthan, and drip irrigation can save an estimated 75–80% of it while improving crop quality. The Drip Sanyantr scheme makes it affordable by subsidising the cost of a drip irrigation system — 70% for general farmers, and 75% for small, marginal, SC, ST and women farmers. Because subsidy percentages can be revised from year to year, it is worth confirming the current rate before you buy.
