NHM · state
We have not yet verified Chhattisgarh's own NHM documents. The national framework still applies here, and it is below — with the state's own door, and a way to ask us to read the rest.

Research on Chhattisgarh has started, and what it publishes is the national book — but, unlike some states, the current one.
The Department of Horticulture and Farm Forestry gives the Mission a page under central schemes, now registered as a source. What hangs off it is the MIDH operational guidelines of 2025, ninety-eight pages, alongside annual progress reports running from 2014-15. This platform already holds that national document and has taken 64 sourced statements from it, so the guidelines themselves are not new to us — but the fact that Chhattisgarh points its growers at the current edition is worth saying, because Madhya Pradesh next door still offers the 2014 one.
What is not there is a Chhattisgarh figure. Nothing on that page says what the state adds to the national norms, whether it tops any component up from its own budget, or when an application window opens. The progress reports say what was spent, not what is offered.
One detail from the national guidelines is worth repeating here because it decides the shape of the money in this state: the Government of India contributes 60% of the outlay for developmental programmes in all states except those in the North East and the Himalayas, where its share is 90%. Chhattisgarh is in the 60:40 group. That is the budget split between governments, not a rate of assistance to a grower.
What does apply here meanwhile: the 64 statements we have taken from the national guidelines hold in every state — the components the Mission supports, the national cost norms and the general rates of assistance. Those are the guides listed below, and every figure in them names the page it came from.
What is still missing: any Chhattisgarh order, circular or state scheme document; and the district offices that receive applications.
Written from the state's own pages and documents. Not yet reviewed, and not a statement of what the state pays.

NHM. The MIDH operational guidelines of April 2025 say the National Horticulture Mission covers all States and Union Territories except those in the North Eastern and Himalayan region, and all districts in the States it applies to. Chhattisgarh is outside that region, so NHM is the sub-scheme an application here sits under, and the national cost norms in the guides below are the ones to work from.
On the NHB side, the Board's circular of 21 August 2026 sets its rate of assistance at 35% in general areas and 45% in the North Eastern and Himalayan States, Scheduled Areas and four named Union Territories. Chhattisgarh is a general area, so 35% is the rate to plan against — though a Scheduled Area within the state may not be.
The rules quoted here are the national ones. Which states sit inside the North Eastern and Himalayan region is our reading of them rather than a list either document prints, so treat it as our wording and confirm anything you are about to spend money on.
NHM is a national scheme run by the state. These guides explain the national rules; they do not confirm Chhattisgarh's windows, budgets or variations.
Everyone quotes 50%. Worked at the 4,000 square metre limit against the April 2025 cost norms, the same rule returns about 50% on a net house, 35% on a naturally ventilated polyhouse and 16%...
We compared four state horticulture pages against the national guidelines. In every case the state's figures came from the April 2014 edition, replaced in April 2025. Treat a state figure as...
A large nursery of 1 to 2 hectares carries a cost norm up to ₹30 lakh per hectare at 40% for the private sector; a small nursery of 0.4 to 1 hectare carries ₹20 lakh per hectare at 50%. Both...
INM and IPM carry a cost norm of ₹5,000 per hectare at 30%, up to 2 hectares per beneficiary. That 30% is the lowest rate in the scheme. Organic farming has no NHM figure at all; the guideli...
Most machinery under NHM defers to SMAM norms rather than carrying its own figure. The clearest exception is a power tiller up to 8 BHP, costed at ₹1.0 lakh per unit with a maximum of ₹0.40...
