IsabgolAloevera, Senna, Gugal, Safed musali, Ashvagandha, Kadu-kariyatu, Kaucha, andkalmegh etc. are also being cultivated in the different parts of the State. But theassured market is the major constraints for the development of these crops.However, Isabgol has now found the way to the world market.3

Dehydrated vegetables, canned vegetables, Mango Pulp, Juices, Pickles -Chuteny (Sauce) & Ketchup are the important processed products of the State.Onion dehydration industry of the State is biggest in the country & it comprises80% of total onion dehydration units, which process nearly one lakh ton onion andone lakh ton fruits and vegetables annually. Nearly half of the produce is beingexported. Approximately 0.10 lakh ton of Isabgol husk is processed and 0.06 lakhton of husk is exported to various countries. Mango, Banana, Guava, Sapota,Papaya, Potato, Onion, Garlic, Cumin, Fennel, & Isabgol are the focused crops forthe value addition.Grapes, cashew, medicinal & aromatic crops like Aloe Vera, Palmarosa areemerging as a new potential crops in suitable areas of the State. Investment inGreenhouses, floriculture & medicinal plant projects, tissue culture units, fruit &vegetable processing units has been initiated in the State which show shining futureof horticulture sector in the State.

The total requirement of plantingmaterial required for establishing new gardens and gap filling is being producedfrom the nurseries under the public sector and private sector and there is noshortage. There are 29 no of fruit nurseries in public sector and 289 nos. ofnurseries in private sector in Gujarat State. Sufficient planting material is availablein the State. Voluntarily certification of fruits grafts scheme is being implemented in6

the State by the Department of Horticulture. No central purchase system ofplanting material is under taken by the SHM in the State. Farmers are purchasingfrom the surrounding and near by fruit nurseries at district level for establishmentof new gardens. The District Mission Committee needs to ensure that necessaryquality of the nursery, supply of planting material checks are under taken by theexperts, so that further get the quality material. The details of availability ofplanting material are given in Table-7.Table – 7: Requirement Availability of planting material for fruit crops inGujarat.CropPerennialFruitsNonPerennialFruits(Banana andPapaya)AreaProposed in2010-11RequirementplantingmaterialAvailability ofplantingmaterial during2010-11Excess/Deficitlakh no.3750 Grafts 11.00 lakh Grafts 33.87 lakhPlants 5.00 lakh Plants 50.36 lakh3350 T.C.

As perNHM norms, the assistance for area expansion was provided @75% of cost subjectto a maximum of Rs. 22500/- per ha for perennial crops and @50% of cost ,subjectto maximum of Rs. 15000/- per ha in the case of non perennial crops, which wasdisbursed in three installments in the ratio of 50:20:30 in the first, second and thirdyear respectively depending upon the desired survival percentage. From 2010-11,7

the cost norms and pattern of assistance has been revised and assistance is beingprovided ranging from 50% to 75%5 of cost depending upon the crop(costintensive and normal spacing).RejuvenationThe year wise detail of physical and financial progress under rejuvenation of oldand senile orchards is given in Table-9.Table-9: Rejuvenation programme undertaken in the State (area in ha, Rs.in lakh)Year Target AchievementPhysical(Hectare)Financial(Rs. inLakhs)Physical(Hectare)Financial(Rs. inLakhs)2005-06 500 75.00 0 02006-07 1550 232.50 8.00 1.202007-08 1334 200.10 136.95 20.542008-09 500 75.00 209.73 23.112009-10 150 22.50 190.89 22.202010-11(Up to Aug-2010)2000 300.00 243.13 27.01Community TanksConstruction of community tanks is a major attraction among the farmers ofGujarat. Since the State has been experiencing frequent spell of droughts, thecommunity tanks come in handy for providing supplemental irrigation. As per theNHM norms, assistance @Rs. 10.00 lakh is available for constructing a communitytank, which has the capacity to provide irrigation to 10 ha of land.As many as 550 community tanks have been constructed in the State underNHM during last 5 years. The Micro Irrigation programme is compulsorily linkedwith the tanks.Post Harvest ManagementPack HousesThe State is lacking in the construction of Pack houses. The availableassistance under NHM is 50% of the cost subject to a maximum of Rs. 1.5 lakh perunit. So far, only two pack houses have been constructed under NHM, out of whichone is integrated pack house with ripening chamber. SHM needs to play a proactiverole in mobilizing the farmers for this important PHM component.8

Cold StoragesThough not much afford has been made for construction of cold storagesunder NHM, however, so far, under NHM, 32 cold storages and one modifiedatmosphere storage unit has been sanctioned in the State during 2005-06 to 2009-10, which have been completed.As per the information provided by the SHM, at present 213 cold storages with9.50 MT storages capacity are available in the State. However, much more needs tobe done in this area to reduce post harvest losses.Other PHM projectsDuring last 5 years, project for only one ref. van has been sanctioned to theState. Besides, 4 primary processing units for horticulture produce have beensanctioned to the State, which have been set up. One more primary processing unithas been sanctioned in 2010-11. During 2009-10, 4 Ripening chambers weresanctioned and have been completed. During 2010-11, 5 more ripening chambershave been sanctioned.SHM needs to play a pro active role in mobilizing theentrepreneur for setting up of more such units.Market InfrastructureMarketing is one of the important components in the NHM scheme. However,so far, only one rural market has been sanctioned in the private sector for theState. The proposal for one wholesale market at Jamnagar is in the pipeline. Thisproject has been approved in principle by the Executive Committee (EC) of NHM.However, required Bank loan has not been ensured for the project. Only one Ruralmarket was sanctioned during 2007-08 in private sector and completed. As per theinformation provided by the SHM, at present 42 Fruits and Vegetable CooperativeMarketing Society and 197 Agriculture Produce Market Committees exists in theState, which are dealing with the selling and buying in the horticulture produce.However, SHM needs to ensure that the proposed horticulture clusters are linkedwith the existing infrastructure for PHM and marketing including AEZ, Food Parksand similar facilities set up by the private sector.Details of various project activities taken up under NHM during 2005-06 to2009-10 are given at Annexure.9

There is sufficient potential in Navsari District for area expansion of varioushorticulture crops especially mango, banana and other activities like settingup of nurseries, construction of community water tanks, post harvestmanagement and marketing. In the district all the major activities have beentaken up.2. Out of 13 projects visited by team, 12 were funded under NHM and 1 projectwas funded by NHB. No programme of NBM and CDB was implemented in the

district. The programme of Micro irrigation was linked with area expansion ofNHM.3. The Navsari Agriculture University has implemented18 projects under NHMfrom 2006-07 to 2008-09. Out of which 13 projects are implemented in themain campus and 5 off campus. Out of these 5 programmes relates totraining, seminar, workshop, 2 projects on rehabilitation of existing tissueculture lab, 7 nurseries (4 small and 3 model), 1 leaf tissue analysis lab and2 plants health clinic, 1 project on creation of water resources at Universitycampus was also implemented during 2007-08. This activity is basicallymeant for farmers as community water tank. It is not understood how thisactivity was implemented by University. The clarification needs to be givenby the SHM. During the visit, only projects on model nursery of fruits &vegetables, flowers, aromatic & medicinal plants and tissue culture lab wereseen, which were found in good condition. Team also met Director ofResearch and other Principal Investigators of the projects being implementedby the University. University should focus on development of new varieties ofvarious horticulture crops suitable for the different agro-ecological region ofthe State and can take up the programmes of front line demonstrations inUniversity farms as well as farmer’s field. Vegetable seed productionprogramme can also be taken up by the University. University shouldcollaborate with the SHM for providing the technical back stopping foreffective implementation of NHM programme in the State.4. The quality of implementation of the programme at field level is satisfactoryand beneficiaries are appreciable of the programme activities.5. There is need for construction of community water tanks/ponds in the districtto tap the rain water and also link these structures with permanent watersource wherever feasible to make the water available for horticulture crops inthe lean period. These community tanks/ponds could be constructed underNHM or under MNREGS and funds for lining could be availed under NHM forthe tanks constructed under MNREGS. These tanks should invariably belinked with Micro Irrigation programme for horticulture crops.6. Keeping in view the vast area under horticulture crops in the district andadditional area being brought under cultivation in NHM, there is a good scopefor setting up of PHM and marketing infrastructure in the district. Though,during last two years quit a few projects of cold storages and ripeningchambers have come up in the district, District Mission Committee (DMC)needs to play a pro active role in mobilizing the farmers/entrepreneurs,towards these activities.7. In the farmer’s field, sign board along with NHM logo was not seen in manyplaces. The DMC needs to ensure that proper sign boards are erected at eachsite. Deputy Director (Horticulture) of the district has assured to put the signboard at each project site.8. The training of farmers on various aspect of horticulture needs to beconducted by involving SAU, KVKs and ATMA.24

There is good potential for further increase under these fruits for exportas the new port is coming up very near to the district. Lots of postharvest management infrastructure is coming up in the district especiallycold storage unit, ripening chambers and processing/value addition units.There is also scope for the setting up of wholesale / terminal markets inthe district.3. No programme of NBM and CDB was implemented in the district. Theprogramme of Micro irrigation was linked with area expansion of NHM.4. The quality of implementation of NHM programme at field level has beenfound satisfactory and beneficiaries have appreciated the programmeactivities.5. It was also observed that there has been good linkages with the microirrigation programme and all the orchards are linked with micro irrigation.6. The programme of rejuvenation undertaken by Shri RajeshbhaiRatanchand Shah was very good. He is very progressive farmer and hasbeen awarded by the State Government. some pruned trees are morethan 100 years old, though fruiting is very good (aprox. 140 kg/tree). Itcan be a good venue for training of farmer for rejuvenation. Farmer hasalso constructed a pack house/on-farm collection centre. However, he is34

yet to receive subsidy under NHM. SHM should release subsidy at theearliest as per NHM norms.7. There is good rainfall in the area, hence there is need for construction ofcommunity water tanks/ponds to tap the rain water and also link thesestructures with permanent water source, wherever feasible to make thewater available for horticulture corps in lean period. These communitytanks/ponds could be constructed under NHM or under MNREGS andfunds for lining could be availed under NHM for the tanks constructedunder MNREGS. The community tanks needs to be necessarily linked withMicro Irrigation and horticulture crops.8. Keeping in view the vast area under horticulture crops in the district andadditional area being brought under cultivation in NHM, there is goodscope for up scaling the PHM and marketing infrastructure in the district.DMC needs to play a pro active role in mobilizing the farmers,entrepreneurs, towards these activities.9. Lots of farmers are doing organic cultivation in the district. The areaadopted under organic farming needs to be certified and projects may besubmitted under NHM.10. Except few places, the sign board along with NHM logo was not seen inthe places visited. The DMC needs to ensure that proper sign board areerected at each site.

Surat district is a major hub for mango, banana, papaya and vegetables.Due to availability of some retailers who are offering contract farming andother facilities like quality inputs, assured markets, during last 3 years,large area has come up under tissue culture banana. As a result, manyripening chambers have also been set up in recent past and most of themunder NHM.2. Shri Maganbhai Narotambhai Patel is a progressive Farmer and he usedbunch cover (blue bag) to prevent from insects and disease, Pair rowsystem adopted.3. In Surat, many farmers have ventured for floriculture under green housesin a cluster mode. Large no of such units have been supported by NHBand NHM.4. NHB have also funded many Green house projects in Surat district. Noprogramme of NBM and CDB was implemented in the district. Theprogramme of Micro irrigation was linked with area expansion of NHM.5. There is good potential for further increase under fruits like banana andmango for export as the new port is coming up very near to the district.Lots of post harvest management infrastructure is coming up in thedistrict especially cold storage unit, ripening chambers andprocessing/value addition units. There is also scope for the setting up ofwholesale / terminal markets in the district.SHM need to play proactiverole in this regard.6. The quality of implementation of the programme at field level has beenfound satisfactory and beneficiaries have appreciated the programmeactivities.7. Except few places, the sign board along with NHM logo was not seen inthe places visited. The DMC needs to ensure that proper sign board is

erected at each site. Deputy Director (Horticulture) of the district hasassured to put the sign board at each project site.On 7 th October,2010 while going to Ahmadabad, the project on bio controllab established by Pruthvi Fertilizer Pvt. Ltd. at Anand was also visited. Theproject was funded under NHM. In the lab bio control agents like Trichoderma,pseudomonas verticillium and bio fertilizers like Rhizobium, AzospirilliumAzotobacter, phosphate solubilizing bacteria etc are being produced. The lab ismaintaining quality standards for the products and supplying the bio agents tothe farmers of the district.Wrap up MeetingOn 7 th October, 2010, the team met Shri S. R. Chaudhary, Director,Horticulture and Mission Director, SHM Government of Gujarat at his office andbriefed him about the observations of the field visit. Overall progress of NHMprogramme being implemented in the State was discussed with him. ShriChaudhary has promised to take necessary corrective steps to expedite theimplementation of the scheme. In the meeting Shri R. J. Asari, Mission Director,Bamboo Mission, Department of Forest, Shri Shyamal Tikadar, General Manager,Gujarat Green Revolution Company (GGRC) and Shri D.K Pal, Assistant Director,NHB were also present. In the meeting the progress of implementation of theprogramme on National Bamboo Mission, National Mission on Micro Irrigation,Coconut Development Board and National Horticulture Board was also discussedand reviewed.Shri R. J. Asari informed that the National Bamboo Mission is beingimplemented in the district of Bharuch, Dang, Surat, Tapi and Valsad. Under theMission during 2007-08 to 2010-11, an amount of Rs. 1015.06 lakh was releasedand Rs. 9.95 lakh was accrued as interest. Against this, an amount of Rs. 1014.26lakh has been spent. Under physical progress against the total target of 10334 ha,an area of 13502 ha area has been developed in both forest and non forest lands.He further, mentioned that the grant under the Mission is always received late andis insufficient. The Action Plan is also sanctioned late and is almost 50% of theproposed by the State. He further mentioned that grant should not be deducted forhandy craft and marketing for the Kotwalia tribe, which is primitive tribe.Shri Tikadar informed that the Micro Irrigation programme is beingimplemented in all the 26 district of the State and is successfully beingimplemented. He informed that under the programme during 2005-06 to 2009-10,an area of 2.49 lakh ha has been covered under drip and sprinkler system inhorticulture and non horticulture crops and 1.53 lakh beneficiaries have coveredunder the programme. Regarding the financial achievement he informed thatagainst the total release of Rs. 252.6 crore, an amount of Rs.233.82 crore wasspent during 2005-06 to 2009-10.Shri D. K. Pal, Assistant Director, NHB informed that to cater the need of thefarmers of Gujarat. NHB has two officers located in Ahmadabad and Surat. Heinformed that under the scheme of development of commercial horticulture throughproduction and post harvest management, so far, for the project upto Rs. 20.00lakh and LOI has been issued to 4492 projects and subsidy has been released to1312 projects. For the projects above Rs. 20.00 lakh so far, 355 projects have beeninspected. Under the scheme on capital investment subsidyconstruction/modernisation/expansion of cold storages for horticulture produceduring 2008-09 to 2010-11, 12 units have been funded through NABARD withestimated subsidy of Rs. 293.11 lakh.50

Recommendations based on observations made during field visit andreview of overall progress of NHM scheme in the State.i. Overall progress of implementation of the NHM programme in these threedistricts is satisfactory. However, keeping in view the potential forhorticulture development in these districts, more efforts needs to bemade by the District Mission Committees (DMC), especially in the area ofpost harvest management and marketing. The entire production clusterneeds to be linked with PHM & Marketing infrastructure including existing& new one.ii. The District Horticulture Mission Committee needs to monitor the progressof implementation of the NHM programme. Proper coordination betweenthe District Mission Committee and GGRC, who is responsible forimplementation of Micro Irrigation scheme, needs to be ensured.iii. A good progress has been made under the mission in area expansion offruits like mango, banana and papaya in these districts. Efforts should bemade by SHM to promote PHM projects, especially ripening chambers forbanana. Success story for these crops should be prepared and submittedto NHM.iv. Farmers are also coming forward for the cultivation of flowers undergreen houses. Such projects need to be taken up in a cluster mode.Efforts should also be made for cultivation of vegetables under greenhouses in the peri urban area of metros and big cities, so that goodquality vegetables is available for the urban consumers.v. Under rejuvenation, there is very slow progress in the State. Hence,needs to be expedited. The programme of rejuvenation undertaken byShri Rajeshbhai Ratanchand Shah at village Kalgam, Tahsil, Umargaon ofdistrict Valsad is worth replicating. It can be a good venue for training offarmers for rejuvenation.vi. The cultivation of tissue culture banana by some farmers in Surat districtby adopting pair row system and bunch cover (blue bag) to prevent frominsects, pests and disease, is also worth replicating.vii.viii.ix.Though Bharuch, Anand and Narmada districts are covered for cropinsurance for banana, Surat district is not notified for the same. SHMneeds to take up the matter with the concerned authority.A large number of projects have been sanctioned to 4 State AgricultureUniversities. However, the pace of implementation of these projects isvery slow. Therefore, SHM may nominate Dr. L. R. Verma, who is also themember of JIT, to monitor and review the progress of these projectssanctioned to SAUs and submit a report to SHM.Pit diggers to be allowed under mechanization.x. NIT, Surat has been declared by NHB as resources Institute for appraisingthe PHM projects. Therefore, SHM may also avail the services of thisInstitute.xi.xii.More projects needs to be submitted for creation of PHM and Marketinginfrastructure. However, cold storage projects to be appraised as per thenew standards recommended by NHB.In order to ensure that farmers apply the appropriate/prescribed qualityand quantity of inputs in the area expansion programme, necessarymonitoring mechanism is put in place.

xiii.xiv.xv.xvi.xvii.Programmes of adoption of organic farming should be linked with thevermi compost units and certification in the identified and compactclusters and not in an isolated manner. The comprehensive guideline onorganic farming issued recently needs to be strictly adopted.The District Mission Committee of all the 3 districts have maintained therecords of various activities taken up under NHM, assistance beingprovided in the forms of package to farmers under different components,block wise and village wise details of farmers, area covered and itemsprovided. However, Khasra No. also needs to be indicated in all cases.This needs to be maintained for real time monitoring.Proper technical guidance from the nearby stations/centre of StateAgriculture University, PFDC, NRC, Krishi Vigyan Kendra and ATMA shouldbe obtained by the field level implementing officers and implemented inthe field.Farmers should be advised to go for intercropping of legumes orvegetables in the newly established orchards.Rigorous skill up gradation training of staff is needed to develop theirtechnical competence. Staff engaged in the implementation of NHMprogramme at Head quarter and field level should be imparted orientationtraining in different aspects of horticulture. For this purpose, trainingcalendar for 2011-12, should be drawn up.xviii. For smooth functioning of the NHM programme, there is urgent need forcreating a batch of dedicated staff with electronic connectivity andexpertise at the SHM headquarter as Project Coordination Unit (PCU) forrigorous monitoring and coordination with District authorities and NHM. Atdistrict head quarter, there is also need of creation of a ProjectImplementation Unit (PIU) for implementation of NHM programme in aMission mode. SHM officers should regularly visit the project area in thefield for inspection & verifications.xix.xx.xxi.xxii.Proper sign board with NHM logo indicating the name of beneficiary,activity, cost, assistance provided, year, etc. needs to be displayed ateach work site.To ensure transparency in implementation of various activities underNHM, details about the activities approved in the village, cost of work,subsidy available, name of beneficiaries, area covered and year ofimplementation needs to be displayed at the common places in the villageviz. Panchayat Bhavan, School Building etc.Since, sufficient staff is not available for monitoring of NHM programme;SHM can appoint the domain specific consultants under TSG component.As per NHM guidelines, there is provision for engagement of experiencedpersons in technical support group at SHM head quarter or if need be fewof them can even be posted in the districts on contractual basis.xxiii. The annual report of the NHM programme and success stories of variousNHM interventions needs to be submitted to DAC at the earliest.*****52
