State scheme
Puducherry's NHM/MIDH mushroom component
Published as “Puducherry, mushroom cultivation under NHM/MIDH, at cost norms the Union Territory does not set”, Department of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Government of Puducherry, Horticulture Wing (Mission Director/Director (Hort.), Botanical Garden, Puducherry 605001).
Puducherry's NHM/MIDH mushroom component is Puducherry’s own scheme, administered by Department of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Government of Puducherry, Horticulture Wing (Mission Director/Director (Hort.), Botanical Garden, Puducherry 605001). It is verified against a primary document which funds mushroom cultivation and sets no rate of its own for it: the cost norms are MIDH's.
What it pays for
This document funds mushroom cultivation and sets no rate of its own for it, so this page publishes none. The figures you want are MIDH’s.
What it pays for
Read end to end against its primary document. Puducherry's NHM/MIDH mushroom component is real and funded, and the document that approves it sets no rate for it: it says the cost norms are the scheme’s own. So the figures you want are MIDH’s, published in full on this site with their own evidence. That is a finding, not a gap: the document beside this text is why.
Who can claim it
No applicant class is priced under this scheme. See What it pays for, above, for why.
The conditions
- Does this need a bank loan? (credit linked)
- Yes. The subsidy rides on a bank loan: a bank sanctions the loan and the subsidy is adjusted against it.
- When does the money arrive? (back ended)
- After you build, and after an inspection. The subsidy is held in a reserve account and released once the project has been inspected and found complete, not paid up front.
- Must it be approved before you start work? (sanction before commencement)
- We searched this document for a clause requiring sanction before you start work and did not find one. That is not the same as there being no such rule: it may sit in a document we have not read. Confirm with your sanctioning department and your bank before committing spend. Read why we will not resolve this either way.
Claiming this alongside another scheme
Checked against every other scheme this atlas holds. For most pairs no document says anything either way, and this page says so rather than guessing.
Read against 43 other schemes: 1 excluded, 42 unconfirmed.

This record and MIDH are not two schemes, they are one. The approval letter is the Government of India authorising Puducherry to implement the National Horticulture Mission under MIDH, and binding the spending to MIDH's own cost norms. Marked 'excluded' so a Puducherry applicant is never shown a UT entitlement and a central one as two separate sums for the same growing room. The same reasoning already applied to Haryana, whose own budget memos defer to the central norms in the same way.
Unconfirmed
For most pairs of schemes, this reading found nothing in either document that says how the two combine.
Neither guideline addresses this combination. Confirm with the department before you rely on it.

“Approval letter, File No. 33-55/2021-MIDH (AAP), addressed to the "Mission Director/Director (Hort.), Union Territory of Puducherry, Botanical Garden, Puducherry - 605001". Term III, verbatim: "Expenditure on approved activities must be in conformity with the cost norms laid down in the operational guidelines of the scheme." Paragraph 6, verbatim: "Continuation of MIDH scheme beyond 31.7.2021 is under consideration and the revised cost norms would be shared after approval. Subsequently, SHM may consider to revise their AAP in line with the revised cost norms and components approved for the scheme." The enclosed component table, headed "Annual Action Plan of Puducherry, 2021-22", item 5 "Mushrooms", enters under its column "Maximum permissible cost": "Rs. 20.00 lakh/ unit" against the production unit, "Rs. 15 lakh/ unit" against the spawn making unit and "Rs. 20.00 lakh/ unit" against the compost making unit, each at "100% of the cost." to the public sector and "40% of cost for private sector, for meeting the expenditure on infrastructure, as credit linked back ended subsidy." CITED FOR WHICH SCHEME PRICES THIS COMPONENT, NEVER FOR THOSE THREE FIGURES: they are the superseded central norms, not a Puducherry schedule, and the current central guideline prices the same three components at Rs 30 lakh, Rs 20 lakh and Rs 30 lakh. Every figure above was confirmed against a rendered page image, not a text layer alone.

What to do next
Work out what your own project would draw.
What Puducherry's NHM/MIDH mushroom component pays you depends on your own state, size and cost. The calculator asks where you are, what you are building and what it costs, then prices every scheme on this site against that, shows the document behind each figure, and writes a link you can send to your bank.
Or have MushroomWale build it.
MushroomWale designs and builds mushroom farms. For the farms we build, we also prepare and pursue the claim: the DPR, the documents, the bank, the sanctioning department and the joint inspection.
We prepare and pursue the claim only for farms we build.
