Impact of Solar Power Subsidies on Agricultural Output in Agra District (with special reference Bah and Agra Sadar)
This study examines the impact of solar power subsidies on agricultural output in Agra District, focusing on their influence on crop yields and operational efficiency. Utilizing a sample of 50 farmers and employing regression analysis, the study reveals that solar power subsidies have led to significant enhancements in agricultural productivity. Results indicate that larger farm sizes, reduced energy costs, and decreased water usage are positively correlated with increased crop yields. Specifically, each additional hectare of farm size results in a 20 kg increase in crop yield, while reductions in pre-solar energy costs and water usage contribute to additional yield gains. The findings suggest that solar power subsidies are effective in lowering operational costs and boosting agricultural efficiency. To maximize these benefits, the study recommends expanding subsidy programs, providing technical support, and integrating modern agricultural practices. These measures will support sustained productivity improvements and ensure the long-term sustainability of agriculture in Agra District.
