2. Introduction
Tamil Nadu Horticulture Development Agency has been
registered as a Society under Tamil Nadu Societies
Registration Act, 1975. The Governing Council of the
Society consists of the Chairman, Managing Director, and
six official members. TANHODA has been conceived as a
"Special Purpose Vehicle" for the purpose of implementing
schemes like MIDH - National Horticulture Mission,
PMKSY - Micro Irrigation, TN - IAMWARM, National
Bamboo Mission and National Mission on Medicinal
plants. The State Horticulture Farms also function under
the control of TANHODA.

4. Integrated Horticulture Development
Programme (IHDP)
• Year of start: July 1997
• To provide all-round growth of the horticulture sector by
comparative advantage of the state / region, its diverse
agro-climatic characteristics as a regional harmony
through local differentiated strategy involving research,
technology promotion, extension, post-harvest
management, processing and marketing.
• To increase horticultural production, improve nutrition
safety and helping farmers for income generation.
• This scheme is 100% funded by Government of Tamil
Nadu.

5. • Assistance is being provided for the following
components:
Cultivation of Horticultural crops (fruits,
vegetables, Spices, Aromatic plants, flower
crops).
Encouraging homestead gardens through
distribution of Vegetable seed kits, Vegetable
garden kits, homestead drip systems.
Bee keeping
Vermi-compost unit
Cultivation of vegetables in the off-season
Mobile vending carts.

6. COLLECTIVE FARMING SCHEME
• Started : 2017-18
• To mobilize the small and marginal farmers into Farmer Producer Groups to share
knowledge on better practices, cost effective agricultural technologies aiming at
increased productivity.
• To remove hurdles in enabling the farmer's access to credit facilities and markets.
• To retain the interest of farmers in Farming occupation.
• To create an conducive environment for collective production and marketing for better
profitability and sustainability

7. MICRO IRRIGATION SCHEME UNDER
PRADHAN MANTRI KRISHI SINCHAYEE
YOJANA (PMKSY)
7
• Started in the year-2007
• This scheme is now implemented by providing 100% subsidy for
small/marginal farmers and 75% subsidy for other category farmers.
• Micro Irrigation technology plays a vital role in Agriculture in saving water
and increasing productivity through effective utilization of every drop of
water

8. 8
Strength
1.Women’s groups now raise millets, improving nutrition value: Collective farming,
involving only women, is gaining momentum in Tamil Nadu with small groups engaged
in raising minor millets and vegetables in 16 districts at a micro level.
2.Organic farming
Groups of about 20 members, among whom about 10 actually work in the farm, take
up organic farming in small tracts of land in villages. About 90 groups, working all over
Tamil Nadu, also propagate the value of minor millets and organic farming.

9. 9
Strengths
• Micro Irrigation technology improves water use efficiency by 40% - 60% by precise
water application
• Through fertigation technology, fertilizers are directly applied to the root zone in drip
irrigation, hence fertilizer use efficiency is also increased.

10. MIDH – NATIONAL HORTICULTURE MISSION
10
• Started in: 1st April 2014
• Centrally Sponsored Scheme for the holistic growth of the horticulture
sector covering fruits, vegetables, root & tuber crops, mushrooms, spices,
flowers, aromatic plants, coconut, cashew, cocoa and bamboo.
• NHM is a scheme under the MIDH of Horticulture. It encourages crop
diversification and promotion of hi-tech practices to ensure holistic growth
of Horticulture.
• The scheme is intended in 26 districts of Tamil Nadu.
• KEY OBJECTIVE -to develop horticulture to the maximum potential
available in the state and to augment production of all horticultural
products (fruits, vegetables, flowers, coco, cashew nut, plantation crops,
spices, medicinal aromatic plants) in the state.

11. 11
MERITS
• To create opportunities for employment generation for skilled and
unskilled persons, especially unemployed youth
• To promote and develop technologies through a seamless blend of
traditional and modern scientific knowledge
• Ensuring end to end support on production, post-harvest
management, marketing and processing to assure appropriate
returns to producers

12. NATIONAL BAMBOO
MISSION
• Restructured National Bamboo Mission was approved by the Cabinet
Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) on 25-04-2018.
• The Mission envisages promoting holistic growth of bamboo sector by
adopting area-based, regionally differentiated strategy and to increase
the area under bamboo cultivation and marketing.
• Under the Mission, steps have been taken to increase the availability
of quality planting material by supporting the setting up of new
nurseries and strengthening of existing ones.
12

13. KEY OBJECTIVES:
1. To increase the area under bamboo plantation in non
forest Government and private lands to supplement farm
income and contribute towards resilience to climate change
as well as availability of quality raw material requirement of
industries. The bamboo plantations will be promoted
predominantly in farmers’ fields, homesteads, community
lands, arable wastelands, and along irrigation canals, water
bodies etc.
2. To rejuvenate the under developed bamboo industry in
India.
3. To promote skill development, capacity building,
awareness generation for development of bamboo sector
from production to market demand. 13

14. 14
IAMWARM (TNIAMP)
• TNIAMP is a multi disciplinary project funded by World Bank and
implemented by the Government of Tamil Nadu.
• The main objective of the program is to accelerate crop diversification
from crops requiring more water to high remunerative and less water
requiring horticultural crops, through promotion of hi –tech cultivation
technologies and water conservation technologies in the proposed sub
basins.
• TNIAMP is programmed to be implemented in 6 years from 2018-19 to
2023-24

15. 15
STRENGTHS:
A. Irrigation Systems Modernization
B. B. Climate Resilient Agricultural Intensification
C. Project Management Support MDPU will coordinate and catalyze
departments for the preparation implementation of the irrespective
project interventions. Project budget, Sub-basin Development Plans
and periodical implementation progress

16. PRADHAN MANTRI KRISHI
SINCHAYEE YOJANA (PMKSY)
16
Started in year- 2006
Objective:
• The major objective of PMKSY is to achieve convergence of investments in irrigation at
the field level, expand cultivable area under assured irrigation, improve on-farm water
use efficiency to reduce wastage of water, enhance the adoption of precision-irrigation
and other water saving technologies.
Salient features
• Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) has been launched with the motto of
providing “Har Khet Ko Paani” and end-to-end solutions in irrigation supply chain
• Convergence of investments in irrigation

17. 17
• Expand cultivable area under irrigation (Har Khet ko pani)
• Improve on-farm water use efficiency (Jal Sinchan),
• Sustainable water conservation practices (Jal Sanchay)
Strength Of PMKSY:
• PMKSY is an ongoing scheme which has the component Accelerated
Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP) of the Ministry of Water
Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation (MoWR, RD &
GR), Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP) of
Department of Land Resources (DoLR) and the On Farm Water
Management (OFWM) of Department of Agriculture and Cooperation
(DAC).

18. • Funding pattern under the scheme is in the ratio of
60:40 by the Central and State Governments
respectively. In case of North Eastern and Himalayan
States, Central Assistance is provided in the ratio of
90:10 (Centre: State) and for Union Territories, the
assistance is 100%.

through a mix of traditional wisdom and modern science to ensure long term soil
fertility buildup, resource conservation and helps in climate change adaptation
and mitigation.
• The objective is to produce agricultural products free from chemicals and
pesticides residues by adopting eco- friendly, low- cost technologies.

21. Strength :
• Benefits of getting the amount to people in the form of loan, subsidy or
agriculture material, certain stages also provide assistance through local state
government and ensuring funds can reach wider populations
Weakness :
