Chhattisgarh launched "Millet Mission" to become India's millet hub.

The objective of Millet Mission is to provide farmers with fair price rates for small grain crops.
This initiative is also a step in the direction of the Chief Minister's vision of making the State the millet Hub of India.
To implement the mission, the state government has signed a MoU with the Indian Institute of Millet Research (IIMR), Hyderabad and the collectors of 14 districts of the state.

Haryana has installed 14,418 pumps against the sanctioned 15,000 pumps for the year 2020-21.
Haryana was given a target of 15,000 pumps for the year 2020-21 at a total cost of Rs 520 crore.
The centrally sponsored PM-KUSUM scheme was launched in 2019 with a target to install 20 lakh standalone solar pumps.
Under this scheme, farmers have to bear 40% of the cost of the pump, while the central and state governments subsidize the remaining 60% for solar pumps with a capacity of up to 10 hp.
However, Haryana and some other states have provided additional top-up on subsidy, reducing the farmer's share to less than 25 per cent.
