9. Under MIDH • Promotion of ‘Nutritional Garden Scheme’ in various government premises like hospitals, hostels, schools etc. • Project costing upto INR 25 Lakh should be optional to credit linked back- ended subsidy • Rhizomatic Spices like ginger and turmeric should be increased from INR 30000/ Hac to INR 1,80,000/ Hac as planting material cost is too high • Current tractor specification: Upto 20 BHP should be increased to Upto 45 BHP in same assistance pattern • New components like a) Community Chain- link Fencing b) Community Tube well with Submersible Pump (Solar Tech.) c) Small Solar Cold Storage d) Seedling production unit • For stacking of dragon fruit 50% of costs to be added • VTP courses for Gardeners, Landscaping, Vermi- Compost, Organic Farming, Vegetable and fruit Cultivation etc. is already registered in MukhyaMantri Kaushal VikasYojana. These registered VTPs should be permitted to provide skill development training. Horticulture Suggestions and Recommendations Problems being faced and suggestions 01 Under PMKSY (per crop more drop) Average unit cost of drip irrigation is less and should be increased further Under SMAF Current unit cost per plant is INR 70 which is very less and should be increased further 03 02
