I want to apply for MIDH horticulture subsidy, what is the step by step process?

The process runs through your State Horticulture Department, not the central government directly. The usual steps are: first, register as a farmer on your state horticulture portal or visit the district horticulture office and find out which components are open this year with active targets. Second, submit an application with your land record, identity proof, bank details and a quotation or estimate for the component you want (for example a polyhouse, drip system or new orchard). Third, the department gives an administrative approval or work order before you start, this is important because in most components you should not begin work until you have the sanction in writing. Fourth, you execute the work using an empanelled vendor or your own labour as allowed. Fifth, an officer inspects and verifies the actual work on the ground. Sixth, after verification the subsidy is released, usually directly to your bank account or partly to the vendor depending on the component. The exact sequence, whether it is back ended subsidy or paid to the vendor, and the documents needed vary by state, so confirm the current steps on your state horticulture portal or at the district horticulture office.
