Power supply in villages still uncertain, they say

Farmers in Bihar have questioned the state government’s decision December 21, 2020, to end subsidy to them for diesel, which has been around for almost a decade, on the grounds that rural areas of the state are receiving sufficient power.

Farmers in the state told this reporter that the reasons given by the government for rescinding the subsidy did not make sense. The farmers, who are already under a lot of distress due to a number of reasons, will suffer even more due to this unwise move, they said.

“Farmers like me use different machines and tractors for ploughing, harvesting and irrigation. We are compelled to use diesel since electricity supply in rural areas is still uncertain and connectivity is not everywhere in the field,” Omnarayan Kushwaha, a marginal farmer from Chandhaus village under Paliganj, told this reporter.

Kavindar Sharma, a marginal farmer from Izarta village under the Paliganj block of Patna district said the government’s much-hyped renewable energy schemes were only on paper so far.

Sharma noted that farmers had no other option but to use diesel for irrigation, ploughing, harvesting and threshing since there was no solar energy to be used for all these works.
