Summary:
Ranchi, Oct 25 (PTI) The Jharkhand government on Monday said it is focusing on adopting renewable energy to boost income of farmers and curb their migration to other states.
With this, over 6,000 families have already benefitted in the state.
"With farmers at the centre of the development process, ...Jharkhand is working tirelessly to ensure availability of year-round irrigation facilities across the state.
Given this, the state government is installing solar-based lift irrigation facilities in the districts,” a statement issued by the state government said.
Initially, the government is installing this facility in those parts of the state where water is not available throughout the year for irrigation due to inhospitable terrain, the statement said.
The examples of Bokaro, Latehar, and Simdega districts were cited in the statement.
