In the cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, approval has been given to 29 decisions, including providing free electricity to farmers. Private tube wells will now benefit from free electricity for irrigation starting from April 1, 2023.

This decision will provide free electricity for irrigation to 14.73 lakh rural areas and 5188 private tube wells in urban areas. More than 1.5 crore farmers in the state will benefit from this scheme.
The government had announced in the budget to provide free electricity for irrigation to farmers.
