PM Kusum Solar Pump scheme loses momentum in Hingoli district
The ambitious Prime Minister Kusum Solar Pump scheme initiated by the central government has lost momentum in Hingoli district. Since the inception of the scheme till April, 2024, only 890 farmers of the 5,661 farmers who applied for the scheme have received the solar pumps in the district. Thousands of farmers are still waiting for the pumps to be installed in their farms.
Considering the demand for the electricity rather than the generation, the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd (MSEDCL) had to implement load shedding to maintain the balance between demand and supply. Several farmers incurred heavy losses due to lack of electricity for running the agriculture pumps. The Central Government to overcome the difficulties due to lack of electricity launched the PM Kusum Solar Pump Scheme. The aim of the scheme was to provide solar pumps for irrigation purposes. The farmers can use the pumps any time they want and they will not have to wait for the electricity.
In Hingoli district, 5,661 farmers applied for the scheme till April, 2024, but only 890 farmers have been benefited with the scheme until now. Thousands of farmers in the district are still deprived of the benefits of the scheme. Everyday, several farmers go to the MSEDCL office and meet the officers to get the solar pumps, but they do not get satisfying answers from them.
