प्रदेश के कई गाँव ऐसे हैं, जहां बिजली के खंभे तो लगे थे, लेकिन वहां बिजली नहीं पहुंची थी। योगी सरकार के प्रयास से अब उन गाँवों तक भी बिजली पहुंच गई है। प्रदेश सरकार के हर गाँव तक बिजली आर्पूति करने के वादे के बाद गाँवों में बिजली की दशा सुधरी है, मगर लक्ष्य अभी काफी दूर है।

There is a need to reinvent the PM-KUSUM scheme by bringing in equity and gender into India’s ambitious plan to solarise the agriculture sector. Solar irrigation pump sets must enable farmers to earn by selling 60-70 per cent of their solar generation.

As of now, Gram Pradhans only have rights, but no responsibility. The Centre should act as a facilitator to resolve issues of farmers pertaining to irrigation, canal, tube wells, support prices and seed-fertilizers. The Gram Pradhans can be vested with statutory responsibility and some honorarium to supervise its functioning. There should be absolute decentralization of local administration till the level of Panchayat

Under the Centre's KUSUM scheme, farmers are provided huge subsidy to adopt off-grid solar-powered agricultural pumps to meet the irrigation needs. But, in drought-hit parts of Vidarbha and Marathwada, about four months a year these solar pumps are of no use as water sources dry up. Experts call for reinventing the scheme
