What's the Buzz About?
Imagine getting a super cool solar pump for your farm, and the best part? It's almost free! The Maharashtra government is offering a whopping 90% subsidy on solar pumps. That's right, you only need to pay for a tiny fraction of the cost. How cool is that?
These solar pumps are not just any ordinary pumps. They're like superheroes for your farm - they're eco-friendly, long-lasting, and they work on free energy from the sun. No more worrying about electricity bills or power cuts!
