The Rajasthan government has started the Diggi Grant Scheme to help farmers with irrigation problems and improve their economic condition. Under this scheme, farmers can build a Diggi (water storage tank) in their fields. This will help them irrigate their crops on time and get a better yield.

What is Diggi Anudan Yojana?

In many parts of Rajasthan, crops get damaged due to a lack of timely rainfall or water shortage. This causes heavy financial losses for farmers. To solve this issue, the Rajasthan government has started the Diggi Anudan Yojana. Under this scheme, farmers are given a subsidy of 75% to 85% for building a Diggi (water storage tank) in their fields.

How Much Subsidy Will Farmers Get?

Small and marginal farmers will get up to 85% subsidy, with a maximum limit of ₹4 lakh.

General category farmers will get up to 75% subsidy, with a maximum limit of ₹3 lakh.

Key Benefits of the Scheme

Crops will get timely water, improving both quality and production.

The scheme will also help promote water conservation.

Who Can Apply for the Scheme?

Only farmers who are residents of Rajasthan can apply.

The farmer must own at least 1 hectare of land.

All categories of farmers can apply, but the subsidy will depend on their category.
