AI SummaryMaintenance of Horti Hubs is a Meghalaya state government scheme running to help farmers grow flowers. It gives farmers disease-free planting material and hands-on training to build a steady income from floriculture.
Meghalaya government runs this scheme under the Agriculture Department, keeping existing horticulture hubs active so they can serve as learning centres. In 2026, the scheme continues to support local farmers with updated resources and now also through CSC centres.
