Horticulture and allied schemes

For growers of fruits, vegetables, spices, flowers, and plantation crops — and for beekeepers — the Centre runs two main programmes under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare. Both are delivered through state departments, so the district horticulture office is usually your first stop. Subsidy percentages are fixed centrally, but exact amounts follow official "cost norms" that get updated, so always confirm current figures before investing.
