For farmers troubled by scorching heat, hailstorms, strong winds, and freezing fog, there’s good news! Now farming can be done in the shade. The Rajasthan government has launched a new initiative promoting protected farming through shade net houses, offering up to 70% subsidy to eligible farmers.
Farmers put in months of hard work, but one hailstorm, heatwave, or heavy rain can destroy their crops within minutes. The rising temperatures and water scarcity during summers add to the challenge. In such conditions, shade net houses have emerged as a sustainable and protective solution.
A shade net house is a mesh-like structure that allows farmers to control temperature, humidity, and light levels, thereby protecting crops from adverse weather. It improves both crop quality and yield, making farming more profitable.
The Rajasthan government is actively supporting farmers by providing financial assistance for constructing shade net and greenhouse structures:
Farmers can claim the benefit for up to 4000 square meters of area
Using drip irrigation along with shade nets further boosts yield while saving water
