Subsidies for farmers adopting high-tech and innovative interventions
As part of efforts to empower the farming community, the State Horticulture Mission will offer subsidies to farmers adopting high-tech and innovative interventions.
The beneficiaries will receive up to 50% subsidy in a range of categories under the Centrally sponsored Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH).
“A total of ₹2.20 crore has been allotted to the district and farmers and aspiring entrepreneurs can apply for assistance through Krishi Bhavans in their respective panchayat,” said Deputy Director of Horticulture A.J. Sunil here on Friday.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
