- (a): For the integrated and holistic development of horticulture sector in the country, Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) is being implemented w.e.f. 2014-15.  Main  objective  of  the  mission  is  to  Promote  holistic  growth  of  horticulture sector,  including  bamboo  and  coconut  through  area  based  regionally  differentiated strategies,  which  includes  research,  technology  promotion,  extension,  post  harvest management, processing and marketing, in consonance with comparative advantage of each State/region and its diverse agro-climatic features. All states including Maharashtra, Odisha and UTs are covered under MIDH.

MIDH has six sub-schemes - National Horticulture Mission (NHM), Horticulture Mission for North East & Himalayan States (HMNEH), National Agro-forestry Bamboo Mission  (NABM*),  National  Horticulture  Board  (NHB),  Coconut  Development  Board (CDB) and Central Institute for Horticulture (CIH) Nagaland.

Under MIDH, financial assistance is provided for following major interventions/activities:

-  Creation of water resources structures and watershed management.
-  Bee-keeping for pollination.
-  Horticulture Mechanization.
-  Creation of Post Harvest Management and Marketing infrastructure.

(d): MIDH  cost  norms  were  revised  in  the  year  2013-14.  Presently,  there  is  no proposal to increase the rate of assistance for area expansion programme under NHM.
