Thrust areas for  Post harvest management-cold chain  Quality planting material – Area expansion to be linked to availability of planting material  Accreditation of nurseries  Focus on protected cultivation  Establishment of Centres of Excellence under Indo-Israel collaboration 4 Approval of AAP for SHMs & NLAs

Main Features of AAP Area expansion activity will be taken up to the extent of availability of good quality planting material. Availability and source of planting material need to be indicated separately in the AAP itself. Outlay on area expansion activity will be limited to 20% of total outlay including that as 1 st and 2 nd year maintenance of orchards. 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 , for each crop, to be included in the AAP for all the districts in the State. Allocation for PFDCs will be over and above the allocation for the State. SHM will make full use of Work Flow based MIS and payment gateway for NHM by deploying trained manpower at the district level and State HQ. Wherever Indo-Israel and Indo-Dutch projects are under implementation, it would be included as a part of AAP of the State.

6 Evaluation of NHM Scheme  Task of independent impact evaluation entrusted to AP Productivity Council in October,  Preliminary report submitted in January, 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.

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 7 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.
