NHM · state
We have not yet verified Goa'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.

Nothing here confirms how Goa adds to or varies the national norms.

Read the conditions on each guide and confirm with the implementing department before you plan on it.
Research on Goa has started, and the department publishes plenty — it is finding the Mission inside it that is the difficulty.
Goa has no separate horticulture directorate; the Directorate of Agriculture carries the Mission along with everything else, and its site is substantial, with some forty documents, a notifications and circulars section, and a citizen's charter that sets out its schemes and services. The site runs on a session-based Java framework, so its own links carry session identifiers and are not stable addresses: a URL that works in one visit is not one that can be cited or watched for change, which is why nothing is registered below.
What that means practically is that a person can navigate to Goa's scheme documents perfectly well, and we cannot record where they are in a way that will still be true tomorrow. That is a real obstacle to citation rather than an absence of material.
What does apply here 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 the guides listed below, and every figure in them names the page it came from.
What happens next: finding whether Goa's scheme documents have stable addresses behind the session-based ones, and registering those. The citizen's charter is the first thing to read, because it is where a department states what an applicant is entitled to expect.

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. Goa 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. Goa 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 Goa'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...
