Launched on 1st May 2015, the National Horticulture Mission (NHM) aims to foster the holistic development of the horticulture sector in India. The mission adopts area-based, regionally differentiated strategies that leverage the unique agro-climatic conditions and comparative advantages of each state or region. These strategies encompass research, technology promotion, extension services, post-harvest management, processing, and marketing, creating a comprehensive framework for growth.
The key objectives of NHM include enhancing horticulture production to improve nutritional security and provide income support to farm households. The mission also seeks to establish convergence and synergy among various ongoing government programs for horticulture development, ensuring efficient use of resources. It emphasizes the promotion and dissemination of technologies by blending traditional wisdom with modern scientific knowledge.
Moreover, NHM is committed to creating employment opportunities, particularly for skilled and unskilled youth, thus contributing to rural development and economic empowerment. Through these efforts, the National Horticulture Mission plays a vital role in transforming India’s horticulture landscape into a sustainable and prosperous sector.
