NLAs during the last three
years need to be considered
while finalizing the outlay.

been ensured that allocation is
not less than the last years’
allocation.

based MIS of NHM needs to be
operationalized quickly. The software needs
to be replicated in other schemes of DAC as

developed, which could be used to release
and accept funds electronically. All required
data to facilitate on-line payment has been
incorporated in the Hortnet software.

Production related activities to be confined in the ongoing approved
districts and approved crops.
•
District wise data on area, production and productivity of
horticultural crops since 2004-05, for each crop, to be included in
the AAP for all the districts in the State.

Evaluation of NHM Scheme
 Task of independent impact evaluation entrusted to AP Productivity
Council in October, 2012.
 Preliminary report submitted in January, 2013. Highlights are as
under:
 There has been rational and judicious utilization of NHM funds
with a significant proportion going to production and PHM.
 There has been an upward swing in production of horticulture
crops.
 There is need for adopting a scientific approach for preparing
Annual Action Plan at District Level.
 There is need for accrediting the nurseries by experts.
Moreover, supply of seeds for hybrid vegetables should be after
through scrutiny and the State Government need to exercise
some control on pricing of hybrid vegetable seeds being
supplied by Private sector seed suppliers.
 With regard to area expansion, genetic uniformity needs to be
maintained.
 For enabling Small and marginal farmers to avail the benefits of
protected cultivation, it would be necessary to promote small
structures.

Implementation of NHM Scheme during XII Plan
NHM scheme is proposed to be implemented during the XII Plan
by subsuming the schemes of Horticulture Mission for North East
& Himalayan States (HMNEH) and National Bamboo Mission
(NBM) under one umbrella of National Horticulture Mission.
Some of the main highlights of XII Plan scheme are as
follows:
High priority will be accorded for production and supply of
seeds and planting material of horticulture crops. Hi-tech
nurseries will be promoted in lieu of Model nurseries.
Area expansion activity for fruit crops will be taken up
along with micro irrigation and mulching in an integrated
manner.
Focus would be given on protected cultivation
