TN MIDH-NHM Mushroom (women)
Published as “Tamil Nadu MIDH-NHM, small-scale mushroom production units for women entrepreneurs (Policy Note 2022-2023)”, Department of Horticulture and Plantation Crops, Government of Tamil Nadu.
TN MIDH-NHM Mushroom (women) is Tamil Nadu’s own scheme, administered by Department of Horticulture and Plantation Crops, Government of Tamil Nadu. It is verified against a primary document, with 1 rule for mushroom cultivation below.
What it pays for
Nothing this document prices resolves to a cost-independent rupee figure: it pays an ongoing rate against a loan, or a share of a cost only your own project can state. The rates themselves are under “What it pays for” below.
What it pays for
Everything this document will put money towards on a mushroom project, in the order it lists them. Each figure names the document behind it; open one to read the clause itself.
small-scale mushroom production units
A flat per-unit cash grant for a woman beneficiary to establish a 600 sq ft small-scale mushroom growing unit under the state's MIDH-NHM programme, a fixed rupee figure, not a percentage of a declared project cost like the standard-size production unit.
₹1,00,000 per small-scale mushroom production unit, women beneficiary (per the department's own 2021-22 Annual Action Plan spec: 600 sq ft).

By applicant class and by area
The Policy Note states the assistance itself as a flat rupee figure ("an assistance of Rupees one lakh"), with no percentage or underlying project-cost norm printed anywhere in the chapter, so `rateByClass: { woman: 100 }` records that the entire perUnit figure reaches the beneficiary, not that "100% of a stated cost" is printed.Read the rest of this note
The Policy Note states the assistance itself as a flat rupee figure ("an assistance of Rupees one lakh"), with no percentage or underlying project-cost norm printed anywhere in the chapter, so `rateByClass: { woman: 100 }` records that the entire perUnit figure reaches the beneficiary, not that "100% of a stated cost" is printed. This is the same modelling choice used for Himachal Pradesh's flat per-camp training reimbursement (as Himachal Pradesh's own record does). Corroborated by the department's own 2021-22 AAP extract (Wayback timestamp 20230324211748, not archived here, see this file's header comment for why): "Empowering women through Small scale Mushroom Production Units @ Rs.1.00 lakh/unit", 600 Sq.Ft. uniform unit size, 100 units, TOTAL Fin ₹100.00 lakh (= 100 × ₹1.00 lakh, i.e. an outlay/assistance column, not a cost norm). Not modelled: a per-beneficiary unit limit, the AAP's "100 units" is a state-wide district-summed target for the plan year, not a ceiling on how many units one beneficiary may draw, and neither document states one.
Who can claim it
This scheme prices a rate for women applicants.
The conditions
- Does this need a bank loan? (credit linked)
- No. Nothing in this document makes a bank loan a condition of what it offers.
- When does the money arrive? (back ended)
- The document records no reserve account and no hold-back mechanism, so nothing in it describes anything being held back until the work is done.
- 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: 43 unconfirmed.
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.

This is Tamil Nadu's own implementation of MIDH-NHM by name (section 2.2.2's own heading), and its ₹1 lakh assistance figure happens to equal what central MIDH's own Annexure V low-cost/small-scale mushroom row pays out (50% of a ₹2 lakh, 200 sq ft norm, in MIDH's own record on this site), but Tamil Nadu's own unit is specified at 600 sq ft, not 200 sq ft, so this cannot be assumed to be the identical central row simply passed through under a state label; it may be a state-specific variant sized differently. Neither document states whether a Tamil Nadu beneficiary drawing this assistance may also draw central MIDH's own low-cost-unit row for the same unit. Recorded 'unconfirmed' rather than guessed either way.

What to do next
Work out what your own project would draw.
What TN MIDH-NHM Mushroom (women) 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.
