    Solution

    The Punjab Government will give financial aid of Rs 1,500 per acre to all farmers who go in for direct seeding of rice/paddy in the upcoming kharif marketing season. This will wean away farmers from transplantation of paddy, which is detrimental to the environment due to overexploitation of groundwater.
