NHM · state
We have not yet verified Meghalaya'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 Meghalaya 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 Meghalaya has started, and the department is one of the few that files the Mission where you would look for it.
The Department of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare publishes a horticulture schemes page which sorts what it offers by type — state plan, centrally sponsored, and the Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture as a category of its own. That is the right shape. What we could not do is get the contents out of it: the page is a selector, and the list of schemes under each type is fetched after a choice is made, so a request returns the chooser rather than the choices.
Meghalaya is in the North Eastern region, so the Mission reaches a grower here as HMNEH rather than as NHM, and under the current national guidelines the Government of India contributes 90% of the outlay rather than 60%. That is the split between governments, not a rate of assistance, but it is why a North Eastern state's own scheme papers can differ from a plains state's.
What does apply here meanwhile: the 64 statements we have taken from the MIDH operational guidelines of April 2025 hold across the country — 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: working the schemes selector from a browser and registering what sits under the Mission category. The department has already done the hard part by separating it out; it just cannot be reached by fetching.

Not NHM, but HMNEH. 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. Meghalaya is one of the eight North Eastern states, so the Mission reaches a grower here as the Horticulture Mission for North East and Himalayan States. The components and the national cost norms are the same document; the coverage and the share a grower pays are not, and nobody here has read the difference yet.
On the NHB side, the Board's circular of 21 August 2026 sets its rate of assistance at 45% for the North Eastern and Himalayan States, Scheduled Areas and four named Union Territories@if($isSpecUt), of which Meghalaya is one@endif. A project here is in that higher band rather than the 35% general rate.
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 Meghalaya'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...
