This is what we have read, not what the state pays. Nobody has yet confirmed a Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu figure against the national norms, and this page does not give you one. It tells you what Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu publishes, what is in it, and what to do with that. The national cost norms that apply meanwhile are in the guides linked at the foot of this page.
This union territory now has a confirmed department where it previously had none, and one fact about it decides how to read everything else.
The department
Agriculture and horticulture are run by a single Agriculture Department for the merged territory, and its page is the door recorded here. It answers and describes the department. No scheme guideline, cost norm or order was found on it, so nothing is registered.
The 2020 merger, and why it governs your reading
This is a small territory made from three formerly separate administrations, merged in 2020. Dadra and Nagar Haveli was one union territory; Daman and Diu was another, itself two non-contiguous districts. They are now one.
Two consequences follow, and both are practical.
Material published before 2020 may belong to a body that no longer exists. An old scheme notification, an old office address, an old application form — these can look perfectly valid and route you to an administration that has been dissolved. Check the date on anything you find here before you act on it, and prefer post-2020 material.
Material published since may not cover all three districts evenly. A merged administration takes time to harmonise what it inherited, and the districts are geographically separate — Dadra and Nagar Haveli inland, Daman and Diu on the coast, with different land, different crops and different histories. A statement about the territory is not automatically a statement about your district.
What that means in practice
Ask the department which district office handles your area and whether the terms are the same across the territory. That is a question worth asking explicitly here in a way it would not be in a single-district state, and the answer may be that harmonisation is still in progress.
What applies meanwhile
NHM is a national scheme, and the 64 statements taken from the MIDH operational guidelines of April 2025 hold in every state and union territory outside the North Eastern and Himalayan region — the components the Mission supports, the national cost norms and the general rates of assistance. Those are in the guides below, and every figure names the page it came from.
Everything specific to the territory is still missing here. If you know what the department publishes, tell us.
