Mukhyamantri Solar Pump Yojana In MP (Registration On mpcmsolarpump.com )
The Madhya Pradesh government has announced the Mukhyamantri Solar Pump Yojana to enable subsidy for farmers. For this scheme both the central government and the state government shall contribute. The Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh launched this scheme recently and announced important details regarding this scheme. The basic idea of this scheme is to provide electricity – which is one of the main components of our daily lives.
We know that electricity comes from natural resources, yet in many villages due to a scarcity of it, farmers suffer. Through the Solar Pump Yojana the government is calling for registrations for those who want a solar panel installed. It will be a onetime investment and it will help them get electricity throughout the year.

To avail this subsidy you will have to fill out an online application (more on this later) after that you will have to follow some simple steps to complete the process. You will have to hurry because the dates have already begun. The government registrations began from 16th April and the last date complete the procedure is 15th May. But before applying you must know if you are eligible for the same.
