GOVERNMENT SCHEMES FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT

Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi launched ‘Lab Land’scheme in 2014. The objective of this scheme is to increase agricultural production along with the rational use of water. For this, the PM has coined a mantra ‘per drop more crop’. He has motivated agricultural scientists for the use of scientific technologies to help raise agricultural production. In this scheme, the stress is given to a logical combination of traditional knowledge systems and new technology. Ground water level is going down in various parts of the country and this situation is alarming. Such schemes can motivate people to conserve water.
