Objectives of PM-KUSUM Yojana
Under PM-KUSUM Yojana, farmers, groups of farmers, panchayat, and co-operative societies can apply to plant a solar pump. The total cost involved in this scheme is divided into three categories in which the Government will help farmers. The government will provide a subsidy of 60% to farmers and 30% of the cost will be given by Government in form of loans. Farmers will only have to give 10% of the total cost of the project. The electricity generated from the solar panel can be sold by the farmers. The money gained after selling electricity can further be used for starting a new business.
