This is what we have read, not what the state pays. Nobody has yet confirmed a Jharkhand figure against the national norms, and this page does not give you one. It tells you what Jharkhand 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.
Most of the time, when a state's documents cannot be found, the honest answer is that we could not reach them. Jharkhand is different, and unusually precise about it.
What the page says
The Directorate of Horticulture sits under the Department of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Co-operative. Its page offers exactly the document classes a reader would want: circulars, notices and notifications, office orders, sanction orders, allotment orders, and downloads — each one a search into the directorate's document store.
Each is labelled with its count. As retrieved, every count is zero. Nothing has been filed under any of them.
Why that is a better finding than a broken page
A page we cannot read leaves the question open: the documents may be there and we may simply have failed to reach them. A correctly built index reporting zero is a positive statement. The department has published no circular, order or notification through this route that anyone can see — a browser will show the same zeros a fetch does.
That distinction matters for what you do next. Where a page is unreadable, the job is to find a way in. Where an index is empty, the job is to find the other place the papers live, because an empty index almost always means the documents are somewhere else rather than nowhere. A state that runs the Mission issues sanction orders; they exist. They are just not filed here.
Where to look instead
Three places, in order. The district horticulture office, which is where an application is received and where a live circular is most likely to be sitting on a noticeboard. The parent department — Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Co-operative — whose own document store may hold what the directorate's does not. And the directorate directly, asking for its current horticulture scheme guidelines; a department with an empty public index will often send you the file on request.
What applies meanwhile
NHM is a national scheme, and the 64 statements we have taken from the MIDH operational guidelines of April 2025 hold in every state — 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.
The day one of those counts stops being zero is the day this page can say something specific about Jharkhand. Our nightly monitor does not cover it — that watches registered source documents, and Jharkhand has none — so it will be a person who notices, and it could be you. If you know where the state publishes its horticulture orders, tell us.
