Solar power pump irrigation has brought a new dimension to agriculture sector across the district of Bogura during the current Boro season.

 

Reduction the pressure on underground water and proper use of surface water in the drought-prone areas are the main reasons for the initiative.

 

More than 260 hectares of Boro fields have come under the solar irrigation in the district from where around 300 tonnes of crop would be produced.
