Addressing farmers in Rangareddy, he highlighted the effective implementation of the PM-KUSUM scheme, which allows farmers to set up solar plants on agricultural and barren lands.
As part of this, the government has decided to encourage the installation of solar plants in non-agricultural lands by motivating farmers under the PM-KUSUM scheme
According to power officials, the electricity generated from the solar pumps would be connected to electric lines and a net meter would be installed. The units used for the borewell would be deducted and the remaining amount would be paid to the farmer at the rate of Rs.3.13 per unit, officials said.
