About NHM
National Horticulture Mission (NHM) is being implemented in all the States and Union Territories of India except the North Eastern States, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and Uttaranchal (for which a separate Technology Mission for integrated development of horticulture exists) to promote holistic growth of the horticulture sector covering fruits, vegetables, roots and tuber crops, mushroom, spices, flowers, aromatic plants, cashew and cocoa.

This will be a centrally sponsored scheme in which Government of India shall provide 100% assistance to the State Mission during Tenth plan. During the XI plan, the Government of India assistance will be 85% with 15% contribution by the State Governments.
