This regime assumes the provision of irrigation of solar -powered 2.1 MAKH tribal farmers who hold titles on six acres of lakes under the recognition of forest rights (ROFR) in the next five years.
The Giri Vikasam scheme was conceived to encourage the economic and standard of living of tribal farmers, who, under the law of Rofr, awarded land rights in 2006, which was the then UPA government. The scheme focuses on the development of soil and horticulture by providing solar irrigation facilities for 100% subsidies and will be carried out in the saturation mode within five years of this financial year.

In accordance with this, the comprehensive development of Lands Rofr decided to provide irrigation devices outside the network through solar pumps.
