India Promotes Solar Irrigation Adoption Under PM-KUSUM

India wants to help farmers use solar-powered water pumps.

A program in Lucknow taught agriculture extension officers and scientists how to help farmers.

This is part of a larger plan called PM-KUSUM, which aims to have many solar pumps by 2026.

They want farmers to use these pumps to make farming easier, especially for small farmers and women.

Experts presented information on sustainable farming, technical aspects, economic issues, and the role of local centers.

Participants also visited solar irrigation sites to see how the pumps work.
