Diggi Scheme 2025: Get Subsidy up to ₹3.4 Lakh – Know Who Can Apply

The Rajasthan government has launched another major relief scheme for farmers, called the Diggi Subsidy Scheme 2025. Under this scheme, farmers in the state can now receive a subsidy of up to ₹3.4 lakh for constructing a diggi (water storage tank) on their farms. The government has extended the scheme’s deadline till June 30, 2025, allowing farmers to conveniently complete construction after the harvest season.

This initiative mainly aims to strengthen irrigation in canal-fed areas and improve crop yield through assured water availability.

Objective and Benefits of the Scheme:

The primary objective of the Diggi Subsidy Scheme is to address the irrigation challenges in parts of Rajasthan where canal water is insufficient or where farmers rely heavily on rainfall. With a diggi on their field, farmers can irrigate their crops timely, improving yields and increasing income. The scheme not only promotes water conservation but also reduces irrigation costs, making it particularly beneficial for drought-prone regions.

Subsidy Amount and Eligibility Criteria:

The Rajasthan government has categorized farmers and decided the subsidy amount accordingly.

Note:
