AI SummaryFawara Sanyantra is a state government scheme for Rajasthan farmers that gives a subsidy for installing sprinkler irrigation systems in the field. Eligible farmers can get 70% to 75% of the unit cost as financial support, and the subsidy amount is sent directly to their bank accounts through DBT.
Fawara Sanyantra helps farmers save 50% to 55% of irrigation water by using sprinkler plants, and it also improves crop production. The Agriculture Department of Rajasthan keeps the scheme open for the financial year 2026-27, so farmers can apply online through the Raj Kisan portal or visit a nearby e-Mitra center.
Fawara Sanyantra - Introduction
Fawara Sanyantra is a helping hand for farmers who want to move from traditional flood irrigation to a modern sprinkler system. A sprinkler plant spreads water evenly over the field, so even uneven land can be irrigated easily and a larger area can be covered with less water.
A farmer needs at least 0.2 hectares of irrigated land to apply. After the sprinkler plant is installed and the department completes the physical verification, the subsidy amount is credited directly to the farmer's bank account. The scheme stays valid for the current financial year, so the sprinkler bill and the application must belong to the same year.
