-The Times of India

CHANDIGARH: Haryana government is implementing a number of schemes to uplift the farmers through provisions of subsidies, increased productivity and marketing of produce to help them in making farming profitable.

Agriculture and farmers' welfare minister OP Dhankar said on Thursday in a written reply to a question put up by INLD MLA Parminder Singh Dhull during ongoing budget session of state assembly here.

The schemes having special provisions for small farmers included National Mission on Oil Seed and Oil Palm, Scheme for Agriculture Engineering and Trail Boring, Scheme for Promotion of Crop Diversification, Crop Cluster Development Programme for 'On farm Marketing Support' to Horticulture farmers.

In reply to another question, Dhankar said that a number of steps have been taken to tackle the depleting ground water level in the state. He said that Haryana State Preservation of Sub Soil Water Act had been enacted which prohibits sowing of paddy before May 15 and transplantation of paddy before June 15. The department is encouraging the farmers to adopt drip and sprinkler irrigation. More than 1.65 lakh sprinkler sets have been installed upto 2015-16 since the introduction of the scheme. A sum of Rs 203.29 crore had been spent to cover an area of more than 2.74 lakh hectares with drip irrigation system.
