Haryana farmers are being encouraged by the state government to cultivate horticultural crops, for which the Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini-led-administration is introducing new provisions.
Under the initiative, farmers are being motivated to engage in the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and spices; this includes activities such as establishing new fruit orchards, cultivating vegetables through an integrated model, growing fruit crops, spices, and aromatic plants, said a spokesperson of the Horticulture Department.
"The farmers will be provided subsidies as follows: Rs 24,500 to Rs 1,40,000 per acre for establishing new orchards, Rs 15,000 per acre for vegetable cultivation under the integrated model, Rs 25,500 per acre for Scheduled Caste farmers, Rs 15,000 to Rs 30,000 per acre for spice cultivation, Rs 8,000 to Rs 40,000 per acre for flower cultivation, and Rs 8,000 per acre for aromatic plant cultivation.”
"The subsidy amount will be directly transferred to the farmer's bank account. The maximum limit for subsidy assistance is up to 5 acres," he said.
Farmers wishing to access the benefits of these schemes—including details on the application process and subsidy limits for specific areas—can register on the Meri Fasal-Mera Byora and Hortnet portals. The Hortnet site address is hortnet.hortharyana.gov.in.
"In addition, applicants must have the required documents such as the application form with personal details, family ID (Parivar Pehchan Patra), complete bank account information, and Scheduled Caste certificate (if applicable)," the spokesperson said.
