## कृ ष एवं कसान कयाण मंी (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

(a) & (b): Ministry  of  Agriculture  &  Farmers  Welfare  is  implementing  a  Centrally Sponsored Scheme namely Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) for increasing  horticultural  production  and  enhancing income of  farmers. All  States/UTs  are covered under MIDH.

Under the scheme, financial assistance @ 25% to 55% of the total cost for different components  such  as  Production  of  Planting  Material,  Vegetable  Seed  Production, Cultivation  of  high  yielding  varieties  of  Fruits  &  Vegetables,  Rejuvenation  of  Senile Orchards, Protected Cultivation, Creation of  Water  Resources, Integrated Nutrient Management  (INM),  Horticulture  Mechanization,  Creation  of  Post  Harvest  Management (PHM)  and  Marketing  Infrastructure  is  provided  to  farmers  for  holistic  development  of horticulture in the country.

Under the scheme, the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare allocates funds to State Horticulture Missions and not to the farmers directly. The State Horticulture Missions in turn provide the financial assistance to farmers/beneficiaries based upon the approved Annual Action Plan.
