State scheme

UP NHM/MIDH Mushroom (2015-16, archived)

Published as “Uttar Pradesh National Horticulture Mission / MIDH mushroom component (2015-16 cost norms, archive-recovered)”, Department of Horticulture & Food Processing, Government of Uttar Pradesh.

UP NHM/MIDH Mushroom (2015-16, archived) is Uttar Pradesh’s own scheme, administered by Department of Horticulture & Food Processing, Government of Uttar Pradesh. It is verified against a primary document, with 3 rules for mushroom cultivation below.

The most this pays for one item

₹8.00 lakh

The mushroom growing/production unit itself.

Printed in the document as “2. Mushroom, a) Production unit, Private sector”.

Private applicant, general area, 40%. That percentage is taken of ₹20.00 lakh, the cost this scheme assumes the item takes to build (it calls that a cost norm), not of whatever your own quotation says.

The biggest of the 3 items this document prices, not the total of them. Whether you can claim more than one, and alongside which other scheme, is answered further down.

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.

2. Mushroom, a) Production unit, Private sector

The mushroom growing/production unit itself.

The scheme assumes this item costs ₹20.00 lakh to build, and pays a share of that, not of your own quotation. It calls that figure a cost norm.

On the gap against the current central norm: this is not a lower rate the state set for itself, it is the central norm the current one replaced. The Ministry of Agriculture's own earlier MIDH Operational Guidelines, dated February 2014 on its title page, prices exactly these three components at exactly these figures at Annexure-V, item "III. Mushrooms", and Government of India Annual Action Plans for states well outside this set (Punjab 2021-22 among them) reproduce them under the heading "Maximum permissible cost". Two things that does NOT mean. This atlas holds the two central guidelines and not the revisions between them, so it cannot say when the norm was raised; and a page written while that was the central norm was correct when it was written, so nothing here says this department erred. See "The Rs 20 lakh figure is the old central one" under How it works, which shows the earlier guideline in full.

2. Mushroom, b) Spawn making unit, Pirvate Sector [sic]

The spawn laboratory.

The scheme assumes this item costs ₹15.00 lakh to build, and pays a share of that, not of your own quotation. It calls that figure a cost norm.

Who can claim it

This scheme prices a rate for general applicants.

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.

Excluded

MIDH Excluded alongside MIDH.

A note on what changed in this reasoning, and what did not. This verdict used to rest, in part, on the cost norms here being "genuinely different" from central MIDH's, which was read as a sign of a separate, state-authored schedule. That reading was wrong: Rs 20 lakh / Rs 15 lakh / Rs 20 lakh is the central norm the current one replaced. The figures therefore distinguish nothing on their own, in either direction, and the verdict below is re-derived without them. Re-derived on what the table itself says it is, which is not a state scheme at all. Its own heading reads "National Horticulture Mission Programme and Assistance", NHM being the central mission MIDH subsumed, and two of its columns are headed "NHM Share" and "Max.Limit", carrying "40" and "800000" for the production-unit row. A department publishing the NATIONAL mission's own share of a national cost norm is restating the central scheme, not running a second one beside it, which is the same reading this project already applied to Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Chhattisgarh, each of which prints the CURRENT central norms under its own letterhead. This table prints the norms of the same central scheme one generation earlier. A Uttar Pradesh mushroom applicant draws one subsidy under MIDH, not two: 'excluded'. What this does NOT decide, and must not be read as deciding, is which figure a UP applicant is quoted today. This table is archive-recovered, labelled 2015-16 and invisible on the department's own live page (see the file-level note), so this record's status stays 'unknown'; the current central Annexure V, at ₹30 lakh, is the live central norm and is where a UP grower should start, not this page.

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.

Work out what your own project would draw.

What UP NHM/MIDH Mushroom (2015-16, archived) 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.
