There is no dedicated scheme on MI. It’s just a component of

PMKSY.

Lack of dedicated team and IT-backed operations

Delay in release of guidelines/government orders, uncertainty

and sporadic changes in scheme guidelines

Delay in Subsidy disbursement

Absence of easy financing mechanisms for farmers

High cost of maintenance and repairing of MI instrument

Government should initiate an awareness campaign to sensitize farming

community about MI

It should be made mandatory for firms providing infrastructure for micro

irrigation to train the beneficiary about usage and handling of system with

proper manual.

To safeguard the investment made by farmer on MI system, provision for

ensured maintenance service of MI system by the firm for at least 3 years should

be made to provide hassle free service to farmers.

SAUs and other institutes should initiate diploma courses for imparting skill of

operating and maintaining micro irrigation systems to rural youth, this will

provide employment to youth as well as create local service providers.

Schemes like Credit Linked, Back-Ended Subsidy and Credit Guarantee Fund

Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises should be promoted and extended with

the help of state and central agenesis along with the industries, cooperatives,

NGOs.
