The cost of drip system is prohibitive. The subsidy of drip system is reduced to around 50 per cent in the recent year. This can be enhanced to 90 percent 3. Since drip irrigation has helped the farmers to cope with physical scarcity in the study area. Farmers need to motivate to adopt drip irrigation. 4.
