Water plays a major role in agriculture. About 80% of water consumption in India is used for irrigation in agriculture. Indian farmers are still dependent on rainfall for irrigating their lands which makes them vulnerable to crop failure and other risks. Keeping this in mind, the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare implemented Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana scheme (PMKSY) in 2015. The scheme aims to provide a comprehensive solution to improve farm productivity and ensure better utilization of water resources. The important element of PM Krishi Sinchayee Yojana scheme is micro level irrigation solution, as it ensures the efficient use of water on the farm level.
(Note: Per drop more crop component, which was a component of PMKSY earlier, is now implemented separately)
