Let us look at two examples to understand the benefit of the scheme- first, if
the member is at the minimum age of 18 (at the time of entry) and second, if
the member is at the maximum age of 40 (at the time of entry).
Example (1) - If the member is 18 years old at the time of entry, he would have
to pay RS. 55 every month till the age of 60 (total years 42). In this way, he
would pay for the whole period
(55 x 12) x 42 = RS. 27,720
While after 60 years of age, he will get back this amount in only less than 10
months as pension from the govt. Rest of the money paid as pension during
the remaining life of the subscriber is cost of the government.
Example (2) – If the member is 40 years old at the time of entry, he would
have to pay Rs. 200 every month till the age of 60 (total years 20). In this way,
he would pay for the whole period- (200 x 12) x 20 = RS. 48,000
While, after 60 years of age, he will get back this amount in only 16 months as
pension from the govt. Rest of the money paid as pension during the
remaining life of the subscriber is cost of the government.

(Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas)
Content:
• Reference
• Introduction
Reference
Government of India launched Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) programme in

2003 for undertaking blending of ethanol in Petrol to address environmental
concerns. Presently, EBP is being run in 21 States and 4 UTs of the country.
Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas (MoP&NG) has targeted to achieve 10%
blending percentage of Ethanol in petrol by 2022.
*Ethanol – It is a renewable fuel made from various plant materials.
Despite efforts (offering higher ethanol prices and simplification of ethanol

purchase system) of the government, supply of ethanol in 2017-18 was
sufficient only for around 4.22% blending on PAN India basis (across the
nation).
Therefore, an alternate route viz. Second Generation (2G) Ethanol from

biomass and other wastes is being explored by MoP&NG (Ministry of
Petroleum and Natural Gas) to bridge the supply gap for EBP programme. In
this direction, "Pradhan Mantri JI-VAN Yojana" is being launched as a tool to

create 2G Ethanol capacity in the country and attract investments in this new
sector.
*2G Ethanol - Ethanol produced from the structural and non-edible fractions
of plants is called second generation (2G) ethanol. While in first generation (1
G) ethanol was produced from the food crops like sugarcane, corn, wheat
etc.)
Introduction
• In Feb 2019 the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, has approved

the "Pradhan Mantri JI-VAN Yojana.
• It will be supported with total financial outlay of Rs.1969.50 crore for the
period from 2018-19 to 2023-24.
• It will provide financial support to Integrated Bioethanol Projects using
lignocellulosic biomass and other renewable feedstock.
*Bioethanol – it is ethanol derived exclusively from the fermentation

of plant starches and used as fuel.
*Lignocellulose refers to plant dry matter (biomass), Lignocellulosic

biomass is an attractive renewable resource for future liquid transport
fuel.
• To reduce import dependence by way of substituting fossil fuels with

Biofuels.
• To achieve the Green House Gas emissions reduction target
• Improve health of citizens by using crop residues (otherwise it will be
burnt).
• Improving farmer’s income by paying them for waste agriculture
residues.
• Creating rural and urban employment
• Contributing to Swachh Bharat Mission

(1) Financial Implications:

Out of scheme fund of Rs.1969.50 crore, allocation of fund is as under-
• Rs.1800 crore - allocated for supporting 12 Commercial projects
• Rs.150 crore - allocated for supporting 10 demonstration Projects and
• Remaining Rs.9.50 crore - to Centre for High Technology (CHT) as
administrative charges.

*Commercial projects – projects which are running for the purpose of buying
or selling goods.
(2) Phases of the scheme:
Under this Yojana, 12 Commercial Scale and 10 demonstration scale Second
Generation (2G) ethanol Projects will be provided a Viability Gap Funding in

Introduction
• The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, on February 19, 2019

approved the launch of ‘KUSUM’ Yojana. This scheme was first
announced in Feb. 2018.
• KUSUM YOJANA has been announced by the central government for

promoting solar power production and solar farming which will benefit
the farmers.
• It is run by the ‘Ministry of New and Renewable Energy’.

• It aims to boost the production of Solar Power in India and provide it to
farmers.
• The scheme seeks to provide financial and water security to farmers.
• The scheme aims to add solar capacity of 25,750 MW by 2022.
• This scheme will bring double benefit as it provide farmers extra income
by selling the extra power directly to the government.
• It will decrease the consumption of diesel in the agricultural sector.
Budget for scheme

• The Finance Minister & The Power department announced that it will
require around Rs. 48000 Crore.
• The allocation of funds will be done in four separate segments.
Subsidy structure of the scheme

• Central Government provides 60% of total cost as a subsidy for all the
eligible farmers. Central govt. will provide subsidy to the farmers directly
into their bank account.
• Banks are giving 30% extra of the total expenses through Bank loans for
the farmers.
• The farmers should spend the 10% to set up these Solar Projects.
• The total central financial support provided under the scheme would be
Rs. 34,422 Crore.
Components of the scheme

The proposed scheme consists of three components:
(1) Component-A:
• 10,000 MW of Decentralized Ground Mounted Grid Connected
Renewable Power Plants. It will be implemented on pilot mode for 1000
MW capacity.
• Renewable power plants of capacity 500 KW to 2 MW (1 MW = 1000
KW) will be setup on the barren land.
* GRID: The power - Grid refers to the transmission system for electricity.
* GRID CONNECTED: The solar power systems connected to the grid are called
grid connected. Deficit energy produce by the system in grid connected
systems is supply or drawn from the grid.
*GROUND-MOUNTED: Solar power plants which are installed on the ground.
(2) Component-B:
• Installation of 17.50 lakh standalone Solar Powered Agriculture Pumps.
• It will be implemented in full-fledged manner.
• Individual farmers will be supported to install standalone solar pumps of
capacity up to 7.5 HP (Horsepower)
* STANDALONE: A standalone system is the one which is not connected to the

power grid. The standalone systems usually have a provision of energy storage.
(3) Component-C:
• Solarisation of 10 Lakh Grid-connected Solar Powered Agriculture

Pumps.
• In it, existing agricultural pumps will be converted to the grid connected
solar powered agricultural pumps.
• Individual farmers will be supported to solarise pumps of capacity up to
7.5 HP.
• It will be implemented on pilot mode for one lakh grid connected

agriculture pumps.
All three components combined; the scheme aims to add a solar capacity of
25,750 MW by 2022.

(1) Construction of the plants only on infertile land:
These plants will be erected only on infertile areas, capable of generating a
total of 28,250 MW power.
(2) Distribution of solar powered pumps: 17.5 lakh solar power pumps will be
provided to agricultural labors.
(3) Sale of excess power: The excess amount of energy generated by farmers
can be sold to the grid. The energy will be bought by the state electricity
distribution companies (DISCOMS) at Feed in tariffs determined by respective
SERC (State Electricity Regulatory Commission).
(4) Incentives provided:

Performance Based Incentives @ Rs. 0.40 per unit for five years to be provided
to DISCOMs.
(5) Environmental impact:

All three components of the Scheme combined together are likely to result in
saving of about 27 million tons of CO2 emission per annum.
(6) Saving of the foreign exchange:
standalone solar pumps may result in saving of 1.2 billion liters of diesel per
annum so further saving of the foreign exchange due to reduction of import of
crude oil.
(7) Employment potential:

The scheme is likely to generate employment opportunity equivalent to 6.31
lakh job years for skilled and unskilled workers.
*Job year- a job year is equivalent to a full-time employment opportunity for

one person for one year.
(8) power generation from tube-wells: The government will also work toward
the installation of unique tube-wells. Each of this pump will be able to
generate power of 8250 MW.
