Observations
Availability of quality planting material being the primary requirement has not received
due attention in the State. Even leading variety of mango namely “Sunderaja” has not
given due importance under area expansion programme in the state. It is high time,
farmers need to be convinced to cultivate ”Sunderaja” and adopt canopy management /
rejuvenation technology to enhance productivity.
There should be good coordination between Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) &
Aggregators under VIUC programme.
Due to incessant rains, damage had taken place in respect of soyabean as intercrop in fruit
crops & gave rise to plant disease problems. Appropriate control measures have been
suggested according to needs.
In many cases, JIT observed that training and canopy management in fruit crops &
imparting technical know-how to beneficiaries on protected cultivation practices are
almost lacking.
Other structures like vermi compost units, Drip, shadenet, pack houses, ripening
chambers recommended to beneficiaries during visit are need-based, and it may be
looked into.
There is no provision for drainage in nurseries. Due to this, 58% of old guava plants died
of wilt and also spreading in new plants, need immediate attention.
There is good potential to develop protected cultivation of flower and high value
vegetable in and around Chhindwara & Hoshangabad districts.
There exists a good net work of nurseries / seed farms, in the State but need to be
accredited by NHB as early as possible.
There is a demand for micro-irrigation in the State. In order to ensure good quality and
after Sales Services of the System, there is need for proper monitoring and quality control
by the implementing agency.
The field observation indicates that extension activity has not given due importance,
hence benefits of NHM programme have not percolated at desired level in tribal areas.
The publicity of NHM programme needs acceleration in tribal areas.
District Collector, Chhindwara suggested that there should be insurance at least for five
years for beneficiaries having protected cultivation infrastructures under NHM.
Display board with NHM logo may be placed wherever NHM financial assistance has
been provided.

Actionable Issues
Steps need to be initiated to accredit nurseries (private/ public) for ensuring supply of
quality planting material to farmers.
Technology Mission on Citrus (TMC) is imparting good Technical knowledge to citrus
growers in Chhindwara district. This facility needs to be extended in other district like
Betul (Prabhatpattan and Athnaire blocks) too.
Convergence model developed by RKVY for development of rural market structures with
NHM is good endeavor to be complimented, needs to be replicated in other NHM
districts.
Considering forest cover in the State, beekeeping activity as pollination support is almost
negligible, target need to be fixed for the next financial year.
Selection of site was not appropriate for grading & waxing unit lying idle in Government
nursery, needs shifting near to Mandi and made functional on PPP mode.
Possibility exists for cultivation of Litchi and low chill fruits around Panchmarhi, sapota
and custard apple in Chhindwara.
Large area of senile orchards (Mango / guava) exists in the State nurseries, not only
decrease the productivity but also pose a threat for spreading diseases / pests in new area,
needs rejuvenation immediately. It is an urgent need to give training to farmers and also
provide assistance under horticulture mechanization for managing senile orchards in an
efficient manner.
For production of fruit in the state, cluster approach is still lacking, needs to be developed
district wise.
SHM may be advised to give more attention to components like PHM, market
infrastructure, protected cultivation, development of IPM/INM infrastructures and
mushroom cultivation, where progress has not been achieved at the desired level.
The programme implementing Officers are not fully trained in the horticulture sector to
implement the NHM programme in a mission mode (except Chhindwara). Regular
training and exposure visits are required to be conducted to achieve the target.
Permanent display board with NHM logo needs to be fixed at the activity site.

Report of the Joint Inspection Team on its visit to Madhya Pradesh during
11-19 September, 2012 to review the progress under the National Horticulture
Mission
The Joint Inspection Team (JIT) comprising Dr. Om Prakash, Chief Consultant, National
Horticulture Mission and Shri P.S. Kohli, Senior Resource Person, National Horticulture Mission
visited Madhya Pradesh during 11-19 September, 2012 to review the progress under National
Horticulture Mission programme in the State. Er. Ravish Keshri, Research Associate, Precision
Farming Development Centre (PFDC), CIAE, Bhopal joined the Team. Shri M.P. Khare,
Assistant Director (Horticulture) coordinated the visit of the Team in Betul, Sehore, Harda,
Chindwara and Hoshangabad districts of the State.
Introduction
Landlocked in the central part of the country, it is bounded by the states of Rajasthan to
the northwest, Uttar Pradesh to the north, Chhattisgarh to the east and Maharashtra to the south,
and Gujarat to the west.
Madhya Pradesh is the second largest state and ranks seventh in population. The State is
primarily an agriculture State. About 73% population of the state is rural, which is directly or
indirectly depends on agriculture. Thus Agriculture Sector is the main Stay of the State economy.
The Agriculture and allied services contributes about 44% share in state economy and 78% of its
working force is directly engaged in Agriculture. Thus Agriculture sector forms the backbone of
MP economy.
Madhya Pradesh is having a geographical area of 30.75 million hectares, which is divided
into 45 district of the state and 9 revenue divisions. The state has 313 development blocks which
are the units for development activities. The forests occupies in the States 8.49 million hectares
which is 27.2 % of the Geographical area of the state where as the cultivated area is about 49 %.
The major perennial rivers of the State namely Mahi, Narmada, Tapti, Chambal, Betwa, Sone,
Wainganga, Ken., and Pench Originate in Madhya Pradesh and flow to the seven bordering
states
Madhya Pradesh has a topography that is crossed from north to south by plains separated
by upland areas. The state has three main seasons: winter (November through February), summer
(March through May), and the monsoon season (June through September). During the winter
average temperatures range from 10° to 27° C (50° to 81° F). Summers are hot, with an average
temperature of 29° C (85° F) and a high temperature that at times reaches 48° C (118° F). During
the monsoon season temperatures average 19° to 30° C (66° to 86°). Madhya Pradesh receives as
average annual rainfall of about 1200 mm (nearly 50 in), of which 90 percent falls during the
monsoon season. The capital of the state is Bhopal.
Economy and Infrastructure
Agriculture is the basis of Madhya Pradesh economy. Less than half of the land area is
cultivable, however, and its distribution is quite uneven because of variations in topography,
rainfall, and soils. The main cultivated areas are found in the Chambal valley, the Malwa Plateau
6
and the Rewa Plateau. The Narmada valley, covered with river-borne alluvium, is another fertile
area.
The most important crops are rice, wheat, sorghum (jowar), corn (maize), pulses
(legumes such as peas, beans, or lentils), and peanuts (groundnuts). Rice is grown principally in
the east, where there is more rainfall, while in western Madhya Pradesh wheat and sorghum are
more important. The state is the largest soybean producer in India. Other crops include linseed,
sesame, sugarcane, and cotton, as well as inferior millets, which are grown in hilly areas. The
state is a large producer of opium (in the western district of Mandasor, near Rajasthan) and
marijuana (in the southwestern district of Khandwa [East Nimar]). Madhya Pradesh is rich in
minerals, though these resources have not yet been fully exploited. There are large reserves of
coal and important deposits of iron ore, manganese ore, bauxite, limestone, dolomite, copper,
fireclay, and china clay. Diamond reserves at Panna are of particular interest.
The major industries of the state are electronics, telecommunications, petrochemicals,
food processing and automobiles. The state has also taken a lead in the production of cement.
The state is also famous for its traditional handicrafts and handlooms manufactured at Chanderi
and Maheshwar.
The state is well endowed with potential hydroelectric power. Main hydroelectric projects
(jointly developed with other states) are the Babanthadi with Maharashtra, the Ban Sagar with
Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, the Chambal Valley with Rajasthan, the Narmada Sagar with Gujarat
and Rajasthan, and the Rajghat and Urmil with Uttar Pradesh. The Hasdeo Bango, Bargi, and
Birsinghapur thermal power projects are also within the state. The Narmada Sagar project has
been a source of controversy because of its potential for damaging the environment.
In comparison with other Indian states, Madhya Pradesh is well served with transport and
communications facilities. The main railroads that pass through the state were originally laid
down to connect the ports of Madras, Bombay, and Calcutta with their hinterlands. Important
railway junctions include Bhopal, Ratlam, Khandwa, Bilaspur, and Katni. Also connecting the
state with other parts of India are airports at Bhopal, Gwalior, Indore, Jabalpur, Rewa, and
Khajuraho, as well as several national highways.
