Creation of Water Resources

The "Creation of Water Resources" is a centrally sponsored scheme implemented by the Horticulture Department, Government of Rajasthan, with 60% Central Government funding and 40% State Government funding, and aims to ensure life-saving irrigation for horticulture crops through the creation of water resources for eligible farmers and farmer groups.
