Mera Pani Meri Virasat Yojana Haryana - Summary
In Haryana, the “Mera Pani Meri Virasat Yojana” aims to tackle the alarming decrease in groundwater levels, which is dropping by approximately 1.0 meter every year due to the extensive cultivation of paddy crops. To preserve water for future generations, the government has launched this scheme, encouraging the diversification of crops such as maize, cotton, millet, pulses, and horticulture across 1.00 lakh hectares of land. Farmers in eight districts of the state (Ratia, Sirsa, Siwan, Guhla, Pipli, Ismailabad, Babain, and Shahabad) must grow alternative crops, covering at least 50 percent of the area previously under paddy cultivation. This plan not only promotes crop diversification but also supports sustainable farming practices, increases production, and helps farmers choose options that enhance their income.
Understanding the Reasons for Water Over-Exploitation
The following factors contribute to the excessive extraction of groundwater:
- Continuous cultivation of water-intensive paddy and wheat crop cycles.
- Extraction of groundwater exceeding the recharge from annual rainfall.
- High water usage and wastage in irrigating paddy and wheat crops.
Goals of the Mera Pani Meri Virasat Yojana
The main objectives of the scheme include:
- Reducing the area under water-intensive crops in Haryana.
- Promoting alternative crops for sustainable farming and inspiring the adoption of latest technologies.
- Encouraging resource conservation.
- Maintaining groundwater levels.
- Protecting soil health from negative impacts of the paddy-wheat cycle and maintaining the balance of micronutrients in the soil.
- Providing farmers with options for more profitable crops beyond the paddy-wheat cycle.
