curriculum may be circulated to the State Horticulture Missions for getting their inputs.

Directors. Such trainings need to be conducted at regional level also. There is also need

Mission Directors.

Approval of Annual Action Plan (AAP) of Andaman & Nicobar&
Lakshadweep Islands
In the Andaman Nicobar & Lakshadweep Islands, the Scheme of High Value
Agriculture is being implemented. However, the funds are being provided for
implementation of different components from the concerned schemes, viz. National
Horticulture Mission, Coconut Development Board and National Horticulture Board.
The AAP of the scheme was approved by the Empowered Committee on High Value
Agriculture under the Chairmanship of Additional Secretary (D), in its meeting held
on 18
th
July, 2007. The NHM component under the scheme for Andaman & Nicobar
Islands was approved for Rs. 174.54 lakhs and for Lakshadweep Islands for Rs.
57.34 lakhs.

32
EC approved the proposal for implementation of NHM component under
the High Value Agriculture scheme during 2007-08, at an outlay of Rs 174.55
lakhs for Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Rs 57.43 lakhs for Lakshadweep Islands.
General Observations
(i) At least five copies of the project based proposals should be submitted to
the NHM alongwith one copy of DPR especially for the credit linked
projects at the first instance for examination at DAC level. Thereafter,
thirty copies of the gist of the project after incorporating the comments of
NHM, should be submitted well in advance for circulation to the members
of Executive Committee.

(ii) All the project based proposals should be duly appraised by the SHM as
per the provisions and norms of the Scheme and approved by the State
Level Executive Committee of Horticulture Mission Society.

(iii) Only those project proposals should be submitted for which necessary
budget provision has been made in the Annual Action Plan.

(iv) For the credit linked projects SHM should ensure that the sanction letter of
the Bank loan and also the certificate from the beneficiary indicating that
the subsidy has not been availed from any other Department of
Government of India and State Government for the project, should be
attached with the project.

(v) SHM should submit the project as per the prescribed proforma. Model
project format for some of the projects like, integrated unit for mushroom
development, small and model nursery, rural markets/apni mandies,
whole sale market and bio control lab was circulated to all SHMs during
the meeting of Mission Directors.

(vi) In case of private sector, the subsidy amount is provided as back ended
linking it with credit from the Bank/financial institutions. Therefore, SHM
should adopt the procedure prescribed by the NABARD by constituting the
team of the representative from concerned Bank, NHB, State Government
and NHM for joint inspection before releasing the subsidy.

(vii) Since, the infrastructure/ assets created in both public and private sector
under the programme viz. post harvest infrastructure, sanitary and phyto
sanitary labs, bio control labs, plant health clinics, disease forecasting
units, leaf/tissue analysis labs, are out of government funds, the services
and products from these units should be made available to the farmers on
concessional rate in certain percentage from the existing market rate.
SHM should fix the rate of concession. The State also needs to maintain
an asset register.

(viii) The Wholesale Markets sanctioned should be equipped with the core
infrastructure facilities as per the items indicated at Annexure ll.

The meeting ended with a Vote of thanks to the Chair.
