The Odisha state administration is currently accepting online applications for the Soura Jalanidhi Yojana via the official portal, odishasolarpump.nic.in. Eligible farmers can apply for agricultural solar pumps with up to 90% financial assistance by completing the DBT Jalanidhi Scheme registration on the dedicated Odisha Solar Pump website.
The Soura Jalanidhi initiative was introduced by former Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on November 30, 2018, to boost solar power adoption in farming and empower the agricultural community. The state government has set a target to distribute 5,000 solar-powered irrigation pumps to support farmers under this scheme while simultaneously lowering the state's subsidy expenditure.
This program promotes sustainable energy, minimizes environmental impact, and ensures reliable electricity for farming irrigation. Designed for rural development, the scheme aims to provide irrigation coverage to an additional 2,500 acres across the state. Initial rollout focuses on underserved regions before expanding to the entire state.
