Farmers of Punjab are now busy to sow paddy during the Carib season. But before that, the state Bhakwant deer has made a special appeal to the farmers on the sowing of the Chief Minister. On Thursday, Pawant deer appealed to the paddy farmers to follow the direct sowing of Nellie (DSR) technology. This will help prevent further exploitation of groundwater (groundwater). For this purpose, the government has set a target of sowing directly on 5 lakh acres of land, and once it has accepted, farmers will be given Rs.
Target for direct seeding in an area of five lakh acres
In a statement, C.M. After the deer took over the post, he said that his government had made many important efforts to protect the interests of the peasantry. Under this initiative, the state government has promoted the DSR technology of paddy cultivation, under which the sowing was launched on Thursday. The deer said his government was targeted to bring five lakh acres of land under the DSR technology during this Kariff season.
The CM appealed to the farmers
The Chief Minister said that the purpose of this initiative was to promote stable agriculture on the one hand and protect ground water on the other hand. The deer added that each farmer will provide Rs 1,500 per acre for each farmer to accept the DSR. He said the state government has allocated a budget of Rs 40 crore for this purpose in the fiscal year 2025-26.
Will be registered by June 30
Interested farmers can register for the DSR project on the online portal from May 10 to June 30, he said. The Chief Minister said that the scheme would save 15-20 per cent groundwater and additional costs for agriculture. In addition to helping ground water level, DSR technology also reduces the cost of wages by about $ 3,500 per acre.
Savings of Water-Surprise in DSR technology
Farmers do not have to work hard on DSR technology other than sowing paddy. In this, farmers do not need to make paddy nursery for paddy cultivation with the machine. Through the DSR machine, farmers can sow paddy seeds directly in the field, leading to hard work and water storage. Also, the sowing can be completed in the lower time.
