The document summarizes micro irrigation initiatives in the state of Gujarat, India. It discusses how Gujarat has formed a single nodal agency called the Gujarat Green Revolution Company to promote micro irrigation systems like drip and sprinkler irrigation. The agency has been successful in expanding micro irrigation coverage through a streamlined application process, subsidies up to 50% of costs, strong monitoring systems, and extensive farmer outreach and training programs. Micro irrigation has now been implemented on over 1.88 lakh hectares in Gujarat, bringing water and energy savings as well as yield increases for various crops.
