February 14 , 2022 1062 days 678 0
The central government has set the target to replace diesel with renewable energy in the agricultural sector by 2024.
This target was set in line with the Government’s commitment to increasing the share of non-fossil fuels by 2030 and becoming a net-zero emitter by 2070.
Through KUSUM Scheme, the central government is also running a scheme to solarise agriculture.
This would help in installing solar-run irrigation systems.
