Small and marginal farmers have been urged to apply for certificates through online so that they can avail the benefits of a subsidised drip irrigation scheme implemented to assist them in achieving profitable cultivation. In a press release, Collector Dinesh Ponraj Oliver asked the farmers cultivating crops in less than 2.50 acres of land to apply for small/ marginal farmer certificate as this certificate would enable them to avail 100 per cent subsidy to install drip and sprinkler systems under the Central government-sponsored scheme – the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) – a scheme implemented to promote the use of drip irrigation in paddy cultivation. The Agriculture Department has tested the technique in paddy cultivation at select fields having filter point irrigation facilities in Tiruvarur and Cuddalore districts on a pilot basis in 2018-19, sources said.
