Naye Fal Bagicho Ki Sthapana - Introduction
The “Naye Fal Bagecho Ki Sthapana” under the Agriculture Department of the Rajasthan government increases farmers’ income by facilitating the cultivation of high-value fruit crops that have a potentially higher market demand and profitability compared to traditional crops. It extends financial support and subsidies to smallholder farmers to facilitate the establishment of new orchards, enabling them to access resources and inputs required for fruit cultivation.
Important points
- It will be mandatory to install drip plants in gardens. Fruit plants will be made available to the farmers only after the establishment of the drip plant.
- Farmers of tribal areas will be exempted from the requirement of a drip irrigation system if they plant gardens in less than 0.4-hectare area.
- The National Horticulture Board (NHB) will provide subsidies for the establishment of fruit orchards. The subsidy will be given for purchasing saplings from accredited nurseries, Ramhans Nursery, government undertakings, agricultural universities, agriculture colleges, semi‑government institutions, government of India institutions, research centres, farms or any other government institution, and for planting a garden.
- After physical verification, the grant amount will be paid directly into the farmer’s bank account.
