Progressive farmer in Gulbarga uses solar energy to operate pump-sets
A progressive farmer in Gulbarga has found a system to use renewable energy to operate irrigation pump-sets, which is expected to help end the dependence on the erratic power supply.
Dattatreya T. Kollur, who used to spend sleepless nights to get three-phase power supply to water his mango and guava orchids and sugarcane fields on his 25-acre land on the outskirts of Deval Gangapur, is now a happy man.
Mr. Kollur and his son Narendra claimed they were the first to install a solar energy plant to power irrigation pump sets.
