1. Introduction
Jharkhand with an area of 79.71 lakh ha and a population of 27 m is primarily a
rural economy. About 75 pc population resides in rural areas and more then 80 pc of the
total labour force is dependent on agriculture.
The state has been categorized under agro climatic zone VII known as Eastern
Plateau Hill Region and is further divided into 3 sub zones viz. Central and North Eastern
Plateau, Western Plateau and South-Eastern Plateau.
Average annual rainfall of these zones varies from 1304 mm to 1409 mm out of
which 80% is received during four monsoon moths (June-September). The nature of the
monsoon is erratic and late arrival and early cessation is not uncommon. The assured
irrigation is available to hardly 8-9% area during kharif, 6% during rabi and 1-2% during
summer season. In the absence of perennial river system, the agriculture is largely rain
dependent.
Agriculture economy of the state is characterized by the existence of large number
of small and marginal farmers. Agriculture operation in the state is of the subsistence
type due to the adverse land : man ratio. Land distribution pattern among the cultivators
is highly iniquitous and a large number of holdings are uneconomic. On the whole about
83% operational holdings are below 2.0 ha, covering only 37% of the gross area. Only
0.69% operational holdings are above 10 ha, covering over 9% areas. Majority of the
farmers thus fall under the category of small and marginal farmers subsisting on a very
small earning from farming occupation. They have little or no resources of their own to
provide for high cost input needed to increase the agricultural productivity.
The primarily undulated type of the terrain of the state offers mainly two types of
land resources-the uplands and low lands and their varieties which are suitable for the
production of a wide range of crops. However, one of the important factors for
underdevelopment character of agriculture is the predominance of food crops in the state.
About 92% cropped area is covered under food grains and hardly 3-5% area is under cash
crops. As a result returns per unit land and labor in the state is too low.
Moreover, in spite of the largely rain fed agriculture system and hardly 8%
assured irrigation, the paddy is the prime crop of the state. Low lands that constitute
40%of the total cropped area remain largely mono-cropped under rice. This lack of
1.
elasticity in the cropping pattern makes the farmers all the more vulnerable against any
deviation in rainfall - whether quantitative or qualitative.
The agriculture sector, however, is the mainstay of the state economy. The growth
in this sector has bearing on the growth of the other sectors and subsequently the GDP
growth rate of the state.
It is a big challenge to find ways to make farming a viable enterprise in an
agricultural system that is primarily based on small and marginal farmers with minimal
resources. The subsistence farming which focuses on the cultivation of cereals is no
longer viable for marginal and small farm families. Net returns from cereal based farming
on the small and marginal land holding have been abysmally low. Meeting both, the farm
expenditure and consumption expenditure of farm families with these meager amounts is
just not possible.
However, through shifts in cropping pattern, from cereal based to that based on
horticultural crops, there is increasing evidence of enhanced income from marginal and
small farm lands. With horticultural based farming, it is possible to make small and
marginal land holdings viable as well as to enhance the living standards of the farming
families. Moreover, the horticultural crops have tremendous potential of making optimum
use of barren and waste lands which otherwise are put to either no or minimal use.
Horticultural crops play an important role in diversification of land use for its
better utilization, improvement in productivity, increase in employment opportunities,
better economic returns and nutritional security.
Horticulture, today, is not merely a means of diversification but forms an integral
part of food and nutritional security as also the essential ingredient of economic security.
Adoption of horticulture both by small and marginal farmers has brought prosperity in
many regions of the country.
The state of Jharkhand is endowed with a climatic condition that is conducive for
successful cultivation of a diversity of horticultural crops. Its uplands need to be changed
from cereal based cropping system to the horticultural based cropping system. The wide
product base, high volume of round the year production, strategic geographical location,
abundant sunlight and high domestic demand automatically project horticulture as the
thrust area of development. The horticultural produce including off-season vegetables
from the state are being preferred in the neighboring states for their quality and time of
2.
availability. There are many horticultural commodities from Jharkhand which can be
made available for national and international markets (Table-1).
In view of the dismal productivity of food crops and the geographical situation of
the state, horticulture, is no more an option but has become a compulsion in the state.
The state of Jharkhand may be divided into six horticultural sub zones as far as
the ecological specialties and suitability of different horticultural crops to them is
concerned. The horticulture crops suitable for these six horticultural sub zones have been
identified (Table-2) and area expansion under the different horticultural crops is planned
accordingly.
At present the state has 0.32 lakh ha area under fruit crops and 2.25 lakh ha under
vegetables which is far too less considering the large opportunities existing in the state
for their production.
The area under floriculture crops in the state is also meager, though mild climatic
condition of the state is just suitable for the commercial cultivation of different flowers.
Medicinal and aromatic plants are growing in the state forests in abundance.
There is a lot of potential of their being grown commercially by the farmers.
The area under these horticultural crops needs to be expanded considerably for
diversification in agriculture, better nutritional security and creating more employment
opportunities.
The state has large chunks of uplands and mild climate that offers immense
potential for diversification under horticultural crops. Considering the productivity
potential and availability of vast area a well thought out plan of action needs to be
formulated and implemented to realize the potential of horticulture in the state of
Jharkhand. Such type of plan necessarily needs the focused attention and assistance to the
farmers for the commercial production of different horticultural crops, their post harvest
management, the value addition and the marketing.
The National Horticulture Mission having the provision for all these components
will surely be able to act as the driving force for bringing a rain-bow revolution in the
state.

2. Objectives of the Mission:
The prime goal of the National Horticulture Mission is to double the horticulture
production to the level of 300 m tones by 2011-12 from the present level of 150 m tones,
at the national level.
In the state of Jharkhand the quantum of horticulture production is 37.77 lakh mt
from a coverage of about 2.56 lakh ha area. This, however, comes primarily from
vegetables. The production of vegetable stands at 35.00 lakh tonnes from 2.24 lakhs ha.
The encouraging feature of vegetable production, however, has been the high
productivity levels which are either at par with national level or even better in few crops.
Area coverage and production level from other horticultural crops, barring the fruit crops,
is very insignificant in the state.
Considering the potential of the growth of horticulture sector in Jharkhand and its
suitability for the cultivation of a range of horticultural crops, the prime objective should
be the area expansion under these crops. High productivity coupled with considerable
expansion in coverage area will automatically bring a considerable increase in the
production level.
The prime objective of the National Horticulture Mission in the state is to
quadruplicate the coverage of horticultural crops to the level of 10 lakhs ha – the 25pc of
cultivable area by 2011-12 from the present coverage of 2.56 lakh ha - the 6 pc of the
cultivable area.
The area expansion plan under the different horticultural crops by 2011-12 is
projected and described in table-3.

Implementation of the National Horticulture Mission in Jharkhand will be an
integrated effort that will aim at1. Development of horticulture sector ensuring enhanced income to farmers and
entrepreneurs, judicious land use and space utilization and risk management.
2. Demand driven and market oriented production.
3. Employment generation through horticulture development.
4. Adoption of end to end development approach covering production, post
harvest management, processing and marketing.
The prime objective of the Horticulture Mission in Jharkhand is to bring a fourfold increase in the area coverage. However the ultimate goal is to raise the production
and it will not be possible if the productivity levels are not kept high, at least at par with
national averages.
Meeting the twin objectives of expanding the area coverage and keeping the
productivity levels high, will require the synergy of efforts from all the stakeholders.
Focused emphasis is needed on following fronts 1. Area specific crop coverage.
2. Community mobilization.
3. Proper backward and forward linkages.
4. Extension of appropriate technology to the farmers including hi-tech horticulture
and micro irrigation.
5. Improvement
in
post-harvest
management,

infrastructure.
6. Private Public Partnership.
7. Co-operative spirit in the implementation of programs.
8. Proper co-ordination between government, farmers, entrepreneurs and different
agencies involved in project implementation.
9. Human resource development in horticulture.
10. Proper risk management.

4.1
Production of planting material and vegetable seeds:
The magnitude of area expansion as projected by the end of 2011-12 would need
enormous quantity of planting material. Availability of this much quantity of planting
material with high quality being the essential password, is the biggest bottleneck in
meeting the ambitious targets of the area expansion under horticultural crops. It is not
always a happy situation to import the planting material from outside the state and deliver
to farmers’ fields in the far flung and remote areas of the state.
This requires that a sound system of production of planting material must be put
in place. This will include the rejuvenation of the existing infrastructure and creation of
new infrastructure for this purpose.
The action plan proposes the creation of a net work of 88 nurseries both in public
and private sector during 2006-07. As far as public sector is concerned six 4.0ha model
nursery will be established at Krishi Vigyan Kendras, Ranchi, Zonal Research Stations of
Birsa Agriculture University, Kanke and Goria Karma Government Horticulture Farms at
Burmu, Ranchi, (Raj Nagar Agril Farm) Saraikela. .
10 model nurseries of 4.0ha each and 56 model nurseries of 1.0ha each will be
established under the private sector.
These nurseries spread all over the state will be made to produce the planting
material of the crops specific to the region in which they will be located.
For the development of the nurseries in the private sector, the selected
farmers/entrepreneurs will be trained for nursery raising so that it can be developed as
cottage industry. The nurseries will be a source of income for the farmers and source of
planting material for the area expansion program.
Vegetable production is one area in which the state of Jharkhand has excelled.
However, the high potential prospect of vegetable seed production is still unexploited in
the state. At present level of vegetable cultivation the state needs about 400-450 tones
vegetable seeds. The State Government has launched a scheme of vegetable seed
production that includes organizing the farmers into “Sustainable Self Help Groups
(SSHGs)”, supporting them financially and technically and facilitating the marketing of
the seed produced by them through their own organization.
Under the present action plan it is proposed to take up vegetable seed production on 300
ha in the public sector, 200 ha by SAU & 100 ha by State Govt in its agri farms.
10.
Under the action plan for National Horticulture Mission, Jharkhand proposes this
activity to be taken up in 10 districts of Jharkhand with a total subsidy of Rs. 150.00
lakhs during the year 2006-07.
The farmers will be benefitted as their income will be raised considerably while
the state will have availability of indigenously produced vegetable seed of assured
quality. This will also render the further boost to the vegetable production in the state.
11.
4.2 Establishment of seed infrastructure:
Implementation of the schemes for enhancing the vegetable seed
production in the state is expected to bring a sea-change in the vegetable seed production
scenario in the state. The enhanced production level will require the proper facilities for
vegetable seed processing, packaging and its storage under the prescribed environmental
conditions.
The establishment of the state-of-the art facilities for processing, packaging and
storage is very essential for this purpose.
The instant action plan proposes the establishment of 3 such integrated facilities,
in the public sector in the state.
Each state-of-the art integrated facility (processing, packaging and storage
integrated at one place) to be established at an estimated cost of Rs. 60.00 lakhs will
provide these services.
Establishment of such type of seed infrastructure in the state will help in value
addition of the seed, reducing the market risk for the farmers and motivating the farmers
to opt for vegetable seed production which consequently will, considerably, enhance the
quantum of vegetable seed production in the state.
12.
4.3 Commercial fruit orchards:
Jharkhand is characterized by undulating topography, generally classified as
uplands, medium uplands and low lands. The region receives an average annual rainfall
of 1100 to 1600 mm mostly during four moths of monsoon. Owing to the characteristic
topography, most of the rainwater is lost through surface run off resulting in erosion of
the topsoil. The soils of the region have poor organic matter content and low water
holding capacity. As a result of the typical edaphic feature of this state, the soil of
uplands remains dry during most part of the year in spite of the heavy rainfall. The
uplands are seldom utilized for production of agricultural crops and if at all utilized for
crop production, it is risky preposition. The climate of the region is suitable for
production of different fruits, vegetables and other horticultural crops in a pure or agrihorticulture system. To minimize risk, improve livelihood, ensure high returns from such
degraded uplands in this plateau region and to improve the soil characteristics, perennial
fruit plants based multi-storied production system consisting of fruit trees having bigger
canopy as main crop, dwarf stature fruit trees as filler crop and seasonal crops like
vegetables and tubers as intercrop have been most effective. The multi-storied models
can be based on mango, litchi and aonla where these perennial trees are planted as main
crop. The dwarf stature fruit plants like guava, lemon, and custard apple can be
accommodated within and between the rows and plants as filler crops. The annual crops
can be put as a ground storey crop in the initial years to enhance the unit productivity
whereas the shed loving crops like turmeric, ginger, and elephant foot yam can be grown
after few years. For selection of main crop the available resources play the key role. If the
land is medium upland with availability of irrigation facility, litchi based system is
advisable. The regions where the recurrent droughts are the common phenomenon
coupled with poor coarse soil structure, aonla based system are more profitable.
Locations with moderate temperature and soil characteristics are well suited for mango
based cropping system. The multi-storied system has three distinct stages. In the first
stage when the plants are under establishment stage life saving irrigation to the plants is
very important. At this stage provision of water harvesting structures like jal kundas,
trenches, open wells or shallow ponds are very much required to provide the life saving
irrigation during the lean period. During this period almost 80% land is available for
13.
cropping. The crop choice will be purely based on the resources available with the
farmers. The second stage when main as well as filler plants start giving returns, the
returns from the ground storey crop is reduced to 50% of the total area. At this stage
provision of in situ water harvesting through full moon terracing during monsoon period
and moisture conservation through mulching during the month of October helps the
plants to produce quality fruits. In the third stage of the multi storied system only two
crops (main and shade loving intercrops) are advocated. At this stage the main plant gives
its best yield potential and the filler plants are removed.
The experiments conducted at Horticulture and Agro forestry Research Program,
Ranchi, have clearly indicated that mango cultivar Langra, litchi cultivar Shahi and aonla
cultivar Kanchan can be planted as main crop at a spacing of 10m apart. Among filler
plants short stature fruit species like guava, custard apple and lime have been found to be
the most effective. Various inter crop combinations including leguminous vegetables
crops suitable for the region(Cowpea,French bean), suitable grass species(Stylosanthes
hamata, dinanath grass), local staple food species(upland paddy, finger millet) and hardy
oil seed crop(niger) in different combinations can be grown in the available inter space in
each model. The main plants start bearing after attaining an age of 3-5 years whereas the
filler plants give yield after second years. The system has also been found effective in
improving the physio-chemical properties of the soil.
The instant action plan for the year 2006-07 proposes the additional expansion of
area under fruit crops to the extent of 10160 ha that will require the total financial support
of Rs. 2143.50 lakhs.
The coverage of 10160 ha. area under the fruit crops will require huge quantity of
planting material.
In these circumstances, the State Mission, to overcome the paucity of planting
material at present, has chalked out a two pronged strategy(a) Expression of interest in the national dailies was invited from the reputed
nurseries, agencies, companies, governmental and non-government organizations. 12
nurseries have been registered on the basis of their capacity to produce and provide
planting material and the quality stocks available with them besides SAU, HARP, Govt.
Nurseries . The mission will facilitate the availability of the planting material from these
14.
registered bodies to the farmers or organizations selected under the area expansion
scheme. The mission will not make any purchase on its own.
(b) Having explored the first option, if any area is still left for which elite planting
material is not available the seedling plantation with locally available material will be
carried out initially on that area, and this plantation will be later upgraded by insitu top
grafting operations.
15.
4.4 Commercial Floriculture:
The climate of Jharkhand is very conducive for floriculture. A number of species
of flowers including those of cut flowers, bulbulous flowers and loose flowers can be
cultivated successfully in the state.
Lack of awareness about the floriculture and the benefits that it brings to the
farmers are the prime reasons why there is still meager area under flower cultivation in
Jharkhand. The lack of technological information, non-availability of the quality planting
material and apprehension about the market are some other factors that have not helped
the growth of commercial floriculture in Jharkhand. Still, there have been success stories
in the state that shows the tremendous potential of floriculture in this state.
To realize the full potential of commercial floriculture in the state, the
Government of Jharkhand has planned to establish “Plant Resource Centers” in five
districts viz. Ranchi, Saraikela, Hazaribag, Deoghar and Jamtara, which incidentally are
potential areas for floriculture. The PRCs will impart the technical training for
commercial floriculture and make available high quality planting material to the farmers
and other entrepreneurs. The PRCs will act as the focal points to disseminate the
information and to provide the critical inputs like planting material to the farmers.
At present the larger part of the market requirements of flowers in the state is
being fed by supplies from Kolkata, Banglore, and Delhi. Thus commercial floriculture
has readily available market in the state.
Under the National Horticulture Mission the farmers and entrepreneurs will be
assisted to take floriculture as a commercial enterprise. They will get technical support
from the upcoming PRCs. This is why commercial floriculture will initially be given
focus in the five PRC districts mentioned above as well as East Singhbhum, Dhanbad and
Bokaro districts considering the urban market available there.
The flower species identified to be given focused emphasis and assistance under
the National Horticulture Mission are carnation, rose, gerbera, gladioli, tuberose, and
marigold.
Plant Resource Centers (PRCs), being established as joint venture organization in
5 districts will provide the backward and forward linkages to the farmers and
entrepreneurs who will engage in commercial floriculture. For high value crops like
carnation, gerbera and roses which will be grown under sheltered conditions, the
22.
marketing services will be rendered through procurement tie-ups or contractual buy-back
arrangements with major market players in the field of floriculture in the country.
A total of 380 ha of area spread over 7 districts is proposed for commercial
floriculture activity in the instant action plan 2006-07. The plan proposes a financial
support of Rs. 101.20 lakhs.

4.5 Medicinal and Aromatic Plants:
The Natural forests of Jharkhand host a large number of medicinal and aromatic
plants growing naturally. It shows that the climate and conditions in the state are highly
suitable for their growth and development. The forest areas, however, should be left as
the seat of conservation of these plant species.
The production oriented systematic cultivation of these plants has to be taken up
on the farmers’ field. The commercial production of these plants will provide the
additional income to the farmers of the state.
Considering it as a priority area, the government of Jharkhand is imparting
training to the farmers for the commercial production of medicinal and aromatic plants.
After being trained, these farmers will start production of medicinal and aromatic plants
in groups/clusters in their villages. The farmers residing around these production blocks
will be imparted on-field training in the subsequent year using these production blocks as
on-field-demonstrations. Next year these trained farmers will start production on their
field and thus the production circle will keep on increasing.
This will facilitate the easier marketing of the produce as it will be produced in
large areas and so in large quantity. It will also help in the establishment of the
processing units for these medicinal and aromatic plants near the production blocks.
National Horticulture Mission will further boost the commercial production of the
medicinal and aromatic plants. The current action plan proposes to bring about 175 ha
area under aromatic plants. Among the aromatic plant species Lemon grass and Rosa
damescena have been identified for focal attention. The production of these plants will be
completely organic that will add value to the final produce. This will require the financial
support Rs. 19.69 lakhs.
29.
4.6 Spices:
Chilli has been identified as the focal spice crop for boosting the commercial
production in 8 districts The farmers are already producing this crop in these districts.
National Horticulture Mission will provide further impetus for its commercial production
by bringing in 1245 ha area under its cultivation. The mission will provide the backward
linkages with an objective of bringing varietals changes and forward linkages to provide
the avenues for proper marketing of the produce.
The instant proposal seeks the financial support to the tune of Rs. 140.06 lakhs.

4.7 Protected Cultivation:
As discussed earlier the vegetable production is one area in which Jharkhand has
excelled. There are many pockets in the state where farmers have developed real
expertise in the field of high quality vegetable production. These progressive farmers
now intend to go hi-tech for vegetable production in their quest to enhance the production
and quality of the vegetable produce at one end and to go for intensive use of land
resource available with them at the other.
The experience of sheltered cultivation of rose, carnation and gerbera has been
good in Jharkhand. The quality of these flowers produced in the state is excellent. To
provide a boost for protected cultivation of flowers and vegetables the assistance for the
same is proposed to be provided during the second year of the National Horticulture
Mission.
The cultivation of fruit crops is proposed to be taken up on 10160 ha area. Out of
this 1452 unit has been proposed for mulching that needs financial support.
The current action plan 2006-07 seeks a total financial support of Rs. 271.925
lakhs under the component of protected cultivation.
This effort will be a real boost for exhibiting the potential of the protected
cultivation and will go a long way to take the concept of hi-tech sheltered cultivation to
the farmers and entrepreneurs of the state.
36
4.8 Integrated Nutrient Management and Pest Management:
Integrated Nutrient Management and Integrated Pest Management have to be the
essential components of any agricultural or horticultural cultivation system. They have to
be essentially inculcated in the cropping system. The implementation of the package of
practices, however, by the farmers needs inputs in the form of information which have to
be arranged by the state.
In tune with this requirement, the current plan proposes the establishment of :1. Disease forecasting units
2. Bio- control laboratory.
3. Leaf analysis laboratory.
Disease forecasting units, in fact, are proposed to be established in districts
Ranchi, East Singhbhum, Dumka, Hazaribagh so that the farmers can be alerted in
advance about the possible break out of diseases on their crops. 5 such units are intended
to be developed in the state during the current year.
Plant health clinics can be very effective centers for the farmers as they will be
able to advise and suggest them about the best possible remedy of the crop diseases and
pests. The plan proposes the establishment of 10 PHCs in public sector in the state.
Bio control lab will provide the information about the various bio control agents
and processes and also the bio inoculum for controlling the diseases and pests.
Leaf analysis is a better measure of knowing about the nutrient status of the soil
rather than the soil test. Besides, this will provide the comprehensive nutrient status of the
soil including that of macro- and micro-nutrients.
The action plan also proposes to establish 3 leaf analysis laboratories in public
sector.
The proposals under INM and IPM seek a total financial support of Rs. 368.00
lakhs for the year 2006-07.
37.
4.9 Organic Farming
Organic Farming in horticulture is very important for sustainable
development of agriculture. Its environmental and economic benefits have
captured attention in many countries. Organically food products are very
much in demand by the consumers. Organic farming encourages the natural
inputs and prohibits the synthetic in agriculture production.
Therefore, the State Horticulture Mission has made a compressive
plan for organic farming in horticulture activity.
An outlay of Rs. 222.700 lakhs is proposed under NHM assistance.
38.
4.10 Development of the Agri Business Centers
The infrastructure that needs to be developed at the Agri Business Center (ABC)
includes.
a. Poly house of 500 sq.m. for catering to the needs of healthy vegetable
seedlings for about 150 ha of production area.
b. Functional infrastructure for collection, grading, standardization etc.
capable of handling the production from an area of about 150 ha.
c. Inputs and seed supply centre for 150 ha. of production area.
d. Marketing intelligence infrastructure.
e. Managerial strength.
The development of 32 such Agri Business Centers will provide an impetus to the
production of vegetables in 4800 ha area and will directly benefit the farmers of the state.
It is also proposed to set up a terminal market in Jharkhand for facilitating
marketing of horticultural produce. The state of Jharkhand boasts of 10 lakh tonnes
marketable surplus of high quality vegetables. There is, however, no organized marketing
set up in the state. The village haats are still the main places for sale and purchase.
Traders from distant places, though, source their requirement from Jharkhand, but the
primary producers of horticultural produce do not get the proper share of the very
remunerative price that their produce fetches.
The proposed terminal market will be linked with all the Agri Business Centers
and will provide the farmers an avenue to market their produce readily.
The proposal seeks the financial support to the tune of Rs. 320.00 lakh.
39.
4.10 Post-harvest management:
In the horticulture sector the post-harvest management is as important as the
production itself. There should be sufficient infrastructure to handle the fresh produce
after it is harvested and until it is marketed.
The focused efforts through National Horticulture Mission are expected to boost
the production of flowers, vegetables and medicinal and aromatic plant produce
immediately since most of them are seasonal or annual crops and the gestation period is
just non-existent.
For this purpose the current plan proposes to facilitate the availability of the
following infrastructure to the farmers or entrepreneurs :1.
Packing units :
10 units.
2.
Cold storage
3.
Refrigerated vans :
1 units.

The packing units, cold storage and refrigerated vans in the initial stages will
provide the supporting infrastructure for farmers and/or entrepreneurs engaged in the
commercial floriculture. The mobile processing units will cater to the needs of vegetable
producers.
The proposals seek the financial support of Rs. 1289.57 lakhs.
40.
4.11 Human Resource Development:
Transfer of Technology through training, frontline demonstration, publicity and
training of the trainers, human resource development through training and demonstrations
have to be an integral part of the Mission. Under this program it is proposed to take up
training of the farmers, field level workers and officers. Appropriate training is required
to be imparted to the farmers for the adoption of modern techniques in horticulture.
Training of the officials concerned with the implementation of the Mission and the field
level workers who will finally train the farmers’ needs to be organized. The important
activities under the trainings is to provide resource material to the trainees and acquaint
them about various farming techniques through exhibitions and demonstrations. This
activity will be carried out both by public as well as private sector organizations.
In order to familiarize the farmer about the modern production practices being
followed in other states of the country, it is proposed to organize trainings and field visits
outside the state too. The assistance will include transportation, lodging and allowance
and training kit, etc.
Further, trainers at the level of project officers, district horticulture officers,
agricultural officers and extension workers will be trained in the modern technological
advances in horticulture. These officers in turn, will train the staff and farmers in the
state.
The officials at the policy making level too need appropriate orientation and
exposure to the recent advances made in the horticulture sector and how the modern
technology is being used for the benefit of this sector in the country and abroad.
In order to fulfil above objectives the proposals are being made for the training of
farmers, trainees and officials as follows :S. no

Development of horticulture Sector needs the professional approach on the part of
the farmers, the entrepreneurs and the government officials. The farmers and
entrepreneurs who have to actually execute the plan will have to be trained and their
skills need to be toned practically.
It needs a state-of-the art infrastructure for imparting professional training to the
farmers, entrepreneurs, professionals, government officials and whoever else who wants
to be trained in different aspects of horticulture.
Thus, instant action plan proposes a sum of Rs. 241.360 lakhs for the year 200607 under the head Human Resource Development in Horticulture.
42.
4.12 Mission management:
The State Mission will have to work in a very professional way to get the detailed
project reports prepared and the projects implemented. Beside, the state Mission will
have to co-ordinate between different components of the project so that end meets the end
and there remains no open or dead ends.
This will require strong institutional arrangement equipped with proper
infrastructure and a “Technical Support Group”. The highly professional TSG is a very
significant component of the State Mission as it will be the body to suggest the
preparation of DPRs, introduction of the new technology in the horticulture sector and to
give it a modern orientation to oversee and monitor the execution of the projects and
evaluate their performances.
Jharkhand has very high potential for the development of the horticulture sector.
To realize this potential to the maximum, its growth in all the possible dimensions has to
be ensured. One of the dimensions is the international collaboration that may bring in the
latest technology in the field of cultivation, post-harvest management, processing and
other related fields. This may induce fresh ideas and provide huge opportunities.
The financial assistance under the Mission management component is proposed to
be sought as follows :Components
a.
Amount (Lakh Rs)
State and districts mission structure including
296.43
additional manpower and project preparation cost.
b.
Institutional strengthening including hire/purchase
50.00

50.00
Thus, instant action plan is proposing the support required for the Mission
management broadly under the points discussed above. The total amount of the financial
support required for the mission management in the initial year of the National
Horticulture Mission is proposed to be Rs. 396.425 lakhs.
43.
5. Resource mobilization :
The action plan, under the National Horticulture Mission for the year 200607 proposed to seek the financial assistance of Rs. 8738.029 lakh (Page 45) or say
Rs.8738 lakhs. The State Mission will get Rs. 10 lakhs from the State Govt.
