&lt;em&gt;Farmers who opt for drip irrigation will be given loans at 2% rate of interest with a cap of Rs. 85,400 per hectare&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mumbai: &lt;/em&gt;In a significant move, the Devendra Fadnavis government in Maharashtra on Tuesday decided to make drip irrigation mandatory for sugar cane cultivation over 3.05 lakh hectares in the state. Farmers who opt for drip irrigation will be given loans at 2% rate of interest with a cap of Rs85,400 per hectare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The decision follows concerns raised by environmentalists and irrigation experts about over-exploitation of water. Currently, sugar cane is grown over 9.42 lakh hectares in Maharashtra (2017-18) and only 2.25 lakh hectares is covered by drip irrigation. The remaining area under sugar cane cultivation uses flood, canal, and sprinkler irrigation systems that consumer more water as compared to drip irrigation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The environmental lobby has often argued that one of the major causes of chronic drought in Marathwada is cultivation of sugar cane that disproportionately exploits the limited irrigation potential in Maharashtra.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only 18% of Maharashtra&amp;rsquo;s cultivable land&amp;mdash;22.5 million hectares&amp;mdash;is irrigated. A Maharashtra Water and Irrigation Commission formed under former Central Water Commission chairman Madhav Chitale has pointed out that sugar cane cultivation consumes 71% of Maharashtra&amp;rsquo;s irrigated water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The state cabinet on Tuesday approved a pilot project that will be implemented with loan from the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Nabard), Maharashtra agriculture minister Pandurang Phundkar said. Phundkar added that the pilot project would be implemented on a priority basis in Marathwada districts which accounts for 25% of Maharashtra&amp;rsquo;s total sugar cane cultivation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In the next phase, the government will make drip irrigation mandatory for the remaining 7 lakh hectares under sugar cane cultivation. The pilot project will be implemented in the next two years,&amp;rdquo; Phundkar said. In 2017-18, the pilot project would be implemented over 1.50 lakh hectares and over 1.55 lakh hectares in 2018-19. The pilot project aims at bringing area currently irrigated by rivers, canals, and wells, under drip irrigation. &lt;br /&gt;

Farmers who opt for drip irrigation will be given loans at 2% rate of interest with a cap of Rs85,400 per hectare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The decision follows concerns raised by environmentalists and irrigation experts about over-exploitation of water. Currently, sugar cane is grown over 9.42 lakh hectares in Maharashtra (2017-18) and only 2.25 lakh hectares is covered by drip irrigation. The remaining area under sugar cane cultivation uses flood, canal, and sprinkler irrigation systems that consumer more water as compared to drip irrigation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The environmental lobby has often argued that one of the major causes of chronic drought in Marathwada is cultivation of sugar cane that disproportionately exploits the limited irrigation potential in Maharashtra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only 18% of Maharashtra&amp;rsquo;s cultivable land&amp;mdash;22.5 million hectares&amp;mdash;is irrigated. A Maharashtra Water and Irrigation Commission formed under former Central Water Commission chairman Madhav Chitale has pointed out that sugar cane cultivation consumes 71% of Maharashtra&amp;rsquo;s irrigated water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The state cabinet on Tuesday approved a pilot project that will be implemented with loan from the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Nabard), Maharashtra agriculture minister Pandurang Phundkar said. Phundkar added that the pilot project would be implemented on a priority basis in Marathwada districts which accounts for 25% of Maharashtra&amp;rsquo;s total sugar cane cultivation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;In the next phase, the government will make drip irrigation mandatory for the remaining 7 lakh hectares under sugar cane cultivation. The pilot project will be implemented in the next two years,&amp;rdquo; Phundkar said. In 2017-18, the pilot project would be implemented over 1.50 lakh hectares and over 1.55 lakh hectares in 2018-19. The pilot project aims at bringing area currently irrigated by rivers, canals, and wells, under drip irrigation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.livemint.com/Politics/gLv0fWy012FI6Su0D5lQvJ/Maharashtra-makes-drip-irrigation-mandatory-for-sugar-cane-c.html&quot; title=&quot;http://www.livemint.com/Politics/gLv0fWy012FI6Su0D5lQvJ/Maharashtra-makes-drip-irrigation-mandatory-for-sugar-cane-c.html&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

Farmers who opt for drip irrigation will be given loans at 2% rate of interest with a cap of Rs85,400 per hectare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The decision follows concerns raised by environmentalists and irrigation experts about over-exploitation of water. Currently, sugar cane is grown over 9.42 lakh hectares in Maharashtra (2017-18) and only 2.25 lakh hectares is covered by drip irrigation. The remaining area under sugar cane cultivation uses flood, canal, and sprinkler irrigation systems that consumer more water as compared to drip irrigation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The environmental lobby has often argued that one of the major causes of chronic drought in Marathwada is cultivation of sugar cane that disproportionately exploits the limited irrigation potential in Maharashtra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only 18% of Maharashtra&amp;rsquo;s cultivable land&amp;mdash;22.5 million hectares&amp;mdash;is irrigated.
