कृ ष एवं कसान कयाण मंालय म राय मंी (SHRI  PARSHOTTAM RUPALA)

- (a) & (b): Mission for Integrated Development  of  Horticulture (MIDH)  is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme which is being implemented w.e.f. 2014-15 for holistic growth of horticulture sector  subsuming  ongoing  missions/schemes  of  the  Ministry-  National  Horticulture  Mission (NHM),  Horticulture  Mission  for  North  East  &  Himalayan  States  (HMNEH),  National  Agroforestry and Bamboo Mission (NABM)*, National Horticulture Board (NHB), Coconut Development  Board  (CDB)  and  Central  Institute  for  Horticulture  (CIH),  Nagaland.  All  States including North Eastern states and UTs are covered under MIDH.

A total of 384 districts from 23 States & UTs have been identified for implementation of NHM. All  117  districts  of  North  East  and  Himalayan  States  (11)  are  covered  under  HMNEH (Thus, 501 districts are covered under NHM & HMNEH).

While  finalizing/identifying  districts  for  inclusion  under  NHM,  a  cluster  approach  for developing  potential  horticultural  crops  while  ensuring  backward  and  forwarded  linkages  was adopted. The selection of the district was decided on the comparative advantage of crops based on  agro  climatic  conditions,  potential  for  developing  marketing  opportunities  were  taken  into consideration.

Further, there is a provision under NHM for setting up of infrastructure units relating to post harvest management, marketing and other project based activities in non NHM districts, provided  there  is  a  clear  linkage  of  the  units  with  the  horticulture  produce.  Apart  from  this, activities  for  development  of  horticulture  in  non-NHM  districts  can  be  carried  out  under  other Government schemes like  Rashtriya  Krishi  Vikas  Yojana  (RKVY),  Mahatma  Gandhi  National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY) etc.

*From current financial year, with the launch of sub mission on agro forestry, NABM is no longer part of MIDH.

(c) & (d): Under MIDH assistance is provided for drip irrigation, creation of post harvest and market infrastructure including cold storage development of horticulture and applied research. The details of State wise amount allocated during last three years and current year under MIDH (NHM & HMNEH) are annexed.
