The Haryana government is giving special incentives to farmers for adopting crop diversification, said an official statement here on Sunday. This will not only enhance their income but will also ensure the protection of the environment. The farmers’ future centres around crop diversity, it said.
In this direction, the state government took the initiative and started its ambitious Mera Pani-Meri Virasat Scheme, under which the key objective is to ensure water conservation while crop diversification. “This scheme is proving to be very effective, and considering its success, a target of saving 42,480 crore litres of water has been set for the year 2023-24,” it said.
