KLK Ventures has launched a new platform to transform farming in Jammu and Kashmir by providing sustainable solar water pumps under the PM Kusum Yojana. The platform simplifies the application process, provides ongoing support, and enhances post-installation services for farmers. The scheme offers an 80% subsidy on the cost of solar water pumps, with farmers contributing only 20%. KLK Ventures, a government-empanelled partner, has already installed over 1,300 solar pumps in Jammu and Kashmir, aiming to reach a total of 5,500 pumps.
The solar-powered pumps empower farmers to irrigate their fields without relying on diesel or electric pumps, reducing costs and promoting eco-friendly farming. The scheme supports farmers in areas where electricity is not easily available, allowing them to install solar-powered pumps of up to 10 HP. Akshat Jain, CEO of KLK Ventures, stated that the PM Kusum Yojana is a game-changer for farmers, reducing their costs and promoting renewable energy in agriculture. Farmers in Jammu and Kashmir can benefit from the scheme to improve their irrigation systems and reduce their dependence on traditional power sources.
