Integrated Vegetable Development Program

Madhya Pradesh government continues to show Integrated Vegetable Development Program, called Samnvit Sabji Vikas Karyakram on the official CM Helpline page, for farmers who grow vegetables near district headquarters and industrial areas.

Farmers can still get up to ₹1,500 per hectare in the general category and up to ₹2,250 per hectare for SC and ST farmers for hybrid seeds and seed treatment support. Official pages checked on 03 August 2026 did not show any new increase in the support amount.

Integrated Vegetable Development Program in Madhya Pradesh

This scheme is run by Madhya Pradesh Horticulture and Food Processing Department. Its main purpose is to support vegetable cultivation in the notified belt around district headquarters and industrial establishments so local production can improve.

Current official pages also show that the department is still maintaining its state horticulture schemes section in 2026. No fresh 2026 notice changing the benefit amount, category rules, or distance condition was found, so the latest publicly visible position remains the same on the live official pages.

Benefit Details

Under this scheme, support is split between seed purchase and seed treatment. General category farmers can get ₹1,400 for hybrid or improved seeds and ₹100 for seed treatment, making the total ₹1,500 per hectare. SC and ST farmers can get ₹2,100 for seeds and ₹150 for seed treatment, making the total ₹2,250 per hectare.

This means the scheme is mainly for reducing the first-stage cost of vegetable cultivation. It does not read like a large income support scheme. It is a targeted input support scheme for farmers who want to improve vegetable production in the covered area.

Who Can Apply

Farmers should check who can apply before going ahead. Based on the current official scheme description, the applicant should be a farmer in Madhya Pradesh and the cultivation area should fall within the eligible 20 km belt around district headquarters or industrial establishments.

Category-based support is clearly mentioned for General, SC and ST farmers. In normal practice, farmers may be asked by the district office to show local residence proof, land or cultivation records, and caste proof where the higher SC or ST subsidy is claimed.

How To Apply

Application instructions on public pages are not shown in a long step-by-step format, but the official CM Helpline scheme page points applicants toward the department route and the live horticulture department website shows a state schemes section with application links for department schemes.

STEP 1 Visit the official state schemes page of Madhya Pradesh Horticulture Department and read the scheme details available there before starting the process.

STEP 2 Check with the nearest district horticulture office because the scheme support is handled through the department and local office guidance is important for district-level acceptance, timing, and form submission.

STEP 3 Keep basic documents ready, especially identity proof, Madhya Pradesh residence proof, land or farming records, and caste certificate if applying for the higher SC or ST support amount.

STEP 4 If the district office is accepting entries through the department portal for the current cycle, use the official link shown on the horticulture department website. If not, follow the district office method shared by the concerned officer.

• Aadhaar card or another valid identity proof to confirm the applicant's details.
• Madhya Pradesh residence proof to show the applicant belongs to the state.
• Land record, cultivation record, or other farming proof asked by the department office.
• Caste certificate in case the applicant wants to claim the SC or ST support amount.
