The Government is providing financial assistance to encourage cultivation of pomegranate under National Horticulture Mission.
Financial assistance under normal spacing is at the rate of 75% of cost of Rs.40,000 per ha in three installment whereas in the case of high density planting, the assistance is at the rate of 50% of cost of Rs.80,000 per ha, in three installments for a maximum area of four hectares per beneficiary.
The assistance being provided under NHM is adequate to incentivize the farmers for meeting the cost of quality planting material and other inputs. The farmers are encouraged to avail other government schemes such as Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREGS) to meet the cost involved in earthwork.
This information was given by Shri Harish Rawat, Minister of State for Agriculture and Food Processing Industries in written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today.
