News India Live, Digital Desk: Often in farming, we are most worried about ‘water’ and ‘income’. Sometimes drought and sometimes increasing cost of irrigation – the Uttar Pradesh government has found a solution to all these through ‘Khet Talab Yojana’. But today we will not just talk about water, we will talk about the way by which you can increase your income manifold by growing ‘pearls’ inside the same water.
What is this ‘Khet Talab Yojana’ and what will be the benefit to you?
Believe me, the government now wants the farmer brothers not to depend on rain water. Under this scheme, if you dig a pond in your farm, the Uttar Pradesh government will bear the cost. Subsidy up to 50% Gives (discount). Suppose if the cost of digging a pond is Rs 1 lakh, then the government will put half the money back in your bank account. In 2026, the government has made it even simpler so that more and more farmers can get its benefits.
Now coming to the point of real profit: Pearl Farming
The pond is not just for filling water, it can also work like an ‘ATM machine’. If you are in this same pond pearl farming (Pearl Farming), then the profit can be in lakhs. Nowadays, there is a huge demand for pearls made from oyster in the market. Many progressive farmers of UP today are earning an extra Rs 5 to 10 lakh annually by farming pearls along with fish farming. The good thing is that the government is also providing separate training and incentives for pearl farming.
Who will get its benefit and how?
- Application: First of all, you have to register yourself on the official website of Uttar Pradesh Agriculture Department (agriculture.up.gov.in). There is a ‘first come, first served’ calculation, so any delay can result in the budget getting exhausted.
- Priority: This time the government is giving utmost importance to small and marginal farmers, SC/ST brothers and women farmers.
- Required Documents: All you need to have is your Aadhar card, bank passbook and land documents (Khasra-Khatauni).
Conclusion: Times are changing, the method of farming should also change…
Gone are the old times when we depended on only one crop. In today’s times, it is wise to take advantage of these government schemes. Build a pond in your farm, save water, eliminate the tension of irrigation and create a wonderful source of income by spreading the ‘magic of pearls’ in it.
If you haven’t filled the form yet, don’t delay, because this path of progress has now reached directly to your farm!
