NHM · state
We have not yet verified Uttarakhand'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.

Uttarakhand's cost norms have now been read against the national ones, and the answer is the same as Kerala's: what looked like state figures are the old national figures.
What was compared. The State Horticulture Mission publishes HMNEH cost norms dated 2014-15, component by component. This platform holds the national MIDH operational guidelines of April 2025; Madhya Pradesh publishes a full copy of the April 2014 edition. All three were opened, and the Uttarakhand table's numerals are legible even though its Hindi is set in a font that decodes to nonsense.
What it showed. Uttarakhand's nursery norms are the 2014 national norms, to the rupee. The state document gives a hi-tech nursery at ₹25.00 lakh per hectare with a ceiling of ₹100 lakh, and a small nursery of one hectare at ₹15.00 lakh per hectare with a loan made compulsory. Annexure V of the 2014 national guidelines gives a hi-tech nursery at ₹25.00 lakh per hectare limited to ₹100 lakh per unit, and a small nursery of one hectare at ₹15.00 lakh per hectare, credit linked for the private sector. The figures, the ceiling and the credit condition all match.
The current national guidelines give ₹30 lakh per hectare for a large nursery of 1 to 2 hectares and ₹20 lakh for a small nursery of 0.4 to 1 hectare. So the state's published figures are lower than the ones in force, not higher, and the area bands are different too.
The 4 hectare cap on area expansion in the Uttarakhand table is also a 2014-era limit. The 2014 guidelines use 4 hectares per beneficiary across spices, aromatic plants and plantation crops; the current document uses 2 hectares for the components this platform has taken statements from.
One thing in the Uttarakhand document is genuinely its own, and worth saying. It sets out three columns — plains areas, hilly areas, and scheduled caste, scheduled tribe, small and marginal farmers and women — with a different share in each, and its heading states a band of 25 to 55 per cent across components. That structure is a real feature of how a Himalayan state runs the Mission, and it is not something the national annexure lays out in that form. What it is not is a current rate card.
What this means for you. Do not plan from the 2014-15 norms on that page. They are eleven years old, they are lower than the figures in force on the components we could check, and the national guidelines of April 2025 are what govern. The guides below explain those, each figure naming the page it came from.
This is our reading of three documents. If the Mission has issued newer norms we have not found — and its own page offers only 2010 and 2014-15 — that would change the picture, and we would want to know.
What is still missing: a current Uttarakhand norm; the Hindi read properly by someone who can see past the font; and whether the three-column structure survives into whatever replaced this document.

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. Uttarakhand is a Himalayan state or union territory, 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 Uttarakhand 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 Uttarakhand'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%...
