Constraints faced by the farmers of Kisan farm pond scheme in Bhilwara district

Abstract

India has traditionally been an agricultural nation. Therefore, it is accurate to say that India’s progress depends heavily on the growth of agriculture. Increased agricultural output depends on a number of factors; with water playing a significant role. Rajasthan is one of the agricultural states, which is experiencing a severe water shortage. The primary challenge faced by farmers is lack of water. The government launched the “Kisan Farm Pond Scheme” to address this problem, which entitles qualified farmers to financial assistance up to Rs 90,000. With the help of the government, farmers can construct ponds in their fields to collect rainwater, which they can then utilize whenever necessary for agricultural purposes. The present study was designed to evaluate the constraints of farm pond farmers. For the proportionate study total 120 farm pond farmers were selected.
