Under its ambitious ‘Mera Paani, Meri Virasat’ scheme that aims to promote the cultivation of less water-consuming crops, the farmers who replace the water-guzzling paddy with crops such as pulses, moong, arhar, sesame and sorghum would get Rs 7,000 per acre. But, with just five more days to go for the peasants to register for the project, the target of achieving two lakh acres seems far-fetched. While Palwal farmers have, inspiringly, oversubscribed by one-and-a-half times to the scheme, there are not enough takers in Charkhi Dadri and Sirsa, which account for the maximum acreage.
