The government has taken steps to retain water by digging canals for rural development
The current government is an agriculture-friendly government. And for that reason, the government is working for the development of agriculture in rural Bengal. As a result of global climate change, the groundwater level is decreasing day by day. In this situation, the government is making arrangements to dig canals, rivers and canals to maintain the water level as a source of water to ensure irrigation facilities for the development of agriculture.
