Chandigarh, March 2 : Haryana Energy Minister Ranjit Singh on Saturday appealed to the farmers to contribute significantly to the success of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthan Mahabhiyan (PM-Kusum).
He said that just like the farmers adopting 67,418 solar pumps during 2023-24 has made the PM Kusum a huge success, likewise they should this time also adopt the solar pumps.
The target for setting up 70,000 solar pumps designated for 2024-25 has been set to contribute further to the success of the PM Kusum scheme.
