Drip Sanyantr helps farmers in Rajasthan by giving financial subsidy to install efficient drip irrigation systems. The scheme promotes water conservation by delivering water directly to plant roots, which reduces wastage and improves crop quality for individual farmers.
For the financial year 2026-27, the state government has released fresh guidelines and online applications are open on the Raj Kisan portal. Under the Rajasthan Micro Irrigation Mission 'Per Drop More Crop', farmers can get 70 to 75 percent subsidy on drip, mini sprinkler and sprinkler irrigation systems.
Drip Sanyantr - Introduction
Drip Sanyantr is managed by the Agriculture Department of Rajasthan. It encourages farmers to use water wisely through modern irrigation technology. By delivering water drop by drop directly to the roots of crops, farmers can save 70 to 80 percent of water and improve production quality.
For instance, a farmer in Jaipur who installs this system can make sure the crops receive just the right amount of water based on the month, instead of watering the entire soil surface. This precise method prevents water loss and supports healthy plant growth.
Important points:
- The drip plant should be purchased only after receiving administrative approval from the horticulture department.
- The subsidy amount is transferred directly to the farmer's bank account, or to the supplier, manufacturer or dealer with the farmer's consent, after physical verification.
