Here’s what the scheme offers:

1. Free Borewells or Open Wells: Say goodbye to dependence on rain! The scheme helps drill borewells or dig open wells on your agricultural land, ensuring a reliable water source.
2. Pumping Power: Don’t worry about manually drawing water. The scheme also includes installing pump sets and accessories to get that life-giving water flowing to your crops.
3. Electrification Made Easy: Concerned about powering your new irrigation system? The scheme provides Rs. 50,000 towards the electrification deposit, making it easier to connect to the grid.

Location Matters:

The subsidy amount for borewell projects varies depending on your location:

1. Higher Subsidy (Rs. 3.5 lakh): Districts like Bangalore Urban, Rural, Ramanagara, Kolar, Chikkaballapur, and Tumkur benefit from a larger subsidy.
2. Standard Subsidy (Rs. 2 lakh): Other districts across Karnataka receive a standard subsidy amount.

Looking Beyond Borewells:

The scheme also explores alternative irrigation solutions in specific cases.  For farmers with land near rivers, the option of drawing pipelines from the water source and installing pump motors is considered.

Who Can Apply?

The Karnataka Ganga Kalyana Scheme is a boon for small and marginal farmers belonging to minority communities in Karnataka.

Construction of Borewell

The unit cost is fixed at ₹4 lakhs for up to 8 acres of land and ₹ 6 lacs for up to 15 acres of land. The entire cost under the system will be treated as a subsidy. The government intends to give farmers with appropriate irrigation facilities by utilising perennial sources of water or raising water via pipelines. This scheme will only be available to farmers who are members of minority groups and are small or marginal farmers.

If perennial water sources are not accessible, the organisation will make loans to individuals to build bore wells on water spots. The corporation would pay a total of ₹1.5 lakh for the building of a bore well to encourage agricultural activity.
