The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) has initiated Agriculture Demand Side Management (Ag DSM) programme in which pump set efficiency upgradation would be carried out through the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode. The objective of the programme is to create appropriate framework for market based interventions in the agricultural pumping sector by facilitating a conducive policy environment to promote PPP for implementing the projects along with providing the farmers with energy efficiency pump-sets free of cost. The cost of pumps will be recovered from reduction of subsidy that the State Government has to pay from its budget, based on the energy savings due to efficient pumps. The Ag DSM scheme has not been implemented in Bihar.
