Key Points
- The Bihar government launched a scheme for solar irrigation in 2008—Bihar Saur Kranti Sinchai Yojana—as a solution to the lack of adequate electricity for irrigation.
- Under this scheme, two KWp solar panels were used to energise small pumps.
- These were provided to small farmers.
- This did not succeed because the pumps were too small to irrigate all the lands of the farmers situated in various non-contiguous fragments.
- Also, there was not enough water in the shallow aquifer for these pumps to be operable throughout the winter and summer seasons.
