NHM · state
We have not yet verified Madhya Pradesh'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 Madhya Pradesh 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 Madhya Pradesh has started, and what the department publishes has been opened and read enough to say what it is — which is less current than it first looks.
The Directorate of Horticulture and Food Processing runs the Mission here and gives it a page of its own under central schemes, now registered as a source. Three things sit on that page, and the difference between them matters.
The document it offers as "Guidelines" is not a Madhya Pradesh document at all. It is the national MIDH Operational Guidelines of April 2014, sixty-eight pages, published by the Horticulture Division of what was then the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation. This platform already holds the April 2025 edition of that same national document, which is eleven years newer. Anyone working from the copy on the state site is working from a superseded book, and that is worth knowing before you plan a project around it.
The two "details" documents are Hindi progress tables, component by component — new orchards, hybrid vegetable area expansion and the rest — showing target against achievement and money allotted against money spent. They are a record of what the state did, not a statement of what it will pay you, and the last year in them is 2018-19. The department's circulars page is thinner still: its most recent dated order is from March 2020.
What is current is the counter. Madhya Pradesh takes horticulture applications through its own farmer subsidy tracking system, MPFSTS, linked from that page, and the department posted in July 2025 that the Mission's private-sector project component had been published for 2025-26. So there is an open channel; what there is not, on the public site, is a current statement of what the state pays.
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 is still missing: a current Madhya Pradesh cost norm or rate from any document; the 2025-26 project list the July 2025 notice refers to; and any order that opens or closes an application window. Until those are found this page cannot tell you what Madhya Pradesh adds to the national norms.
Written from the state's own pages and documents. Not yet reviewed, and not a statement of what the state pays.
The department offers a document it calls the scheme guidelines. It is the national MIDH guidelines of April 2014, eleven years superseded. The progress tables beside it stop at 2018-19 and...
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. Madhya Pradesh 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. Madhya Pradesh 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 Madhya Pradesh'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...
