How govt irrigation schemes are changing farming in UP's water-stressed Bundelkhand
Bundelkhand, once known for severe water shortages, is witnessing changes in its irrigation landscape. Farmers in the region often depended on rainfall and had to travel long distances to access water. Irrigation projects are now aimed at improving water availability in agricultural areas. Govt schemes such as the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana have helped expand irrigation coverage, allowing farmers to cultivate larger areas. With improved access to water, farmers are getting opportunities to grow crops on more land and reduce their dependence on unpredictable rainfall.
