Its resulting reverse migration in hilly area of the state. |
| Challenges : This scheme has been prepared for the accumulated area of agriculture in village Lugadof village Panchayat Badon. It is in a hilly place where it was not possible to irrigate by flat irrigation due to the fact that the field is at a vertical distance of one hundred twenty-five metre from the river. Now at present four-hectare irrigated area is being irrigated by this lift scheme. Low farmers income and migration was other challenge in the region. |
