AI SummaryShednet House is a state government scheme for Rajasthan farmers that offers financial subsidy to help them earn more from high-value horticultural crops like vegetables, flowers, and fruits. A shednet house is a woven net structure that lets in the required sunlight, air, and moisture, creating a controlled microclimate for better plant growth. The scheme is open for the current financial year 2026-27, and farmers can apply through the official Rajasthan agriculture portal or at any e-Mitra center.
Shednet House Scheme - Introduction
Shednet House helps farmers across Rajasthan by giving a subsidy to build a protective net house for farming. By managing sunlight, moisture, and air, this structure allows farmers to grow quality horticultural crops even in tough weather. It also protects crops from pests and harsh weather, so production can continue through the year.
Some important points to remember before starting the project:
- Start construction of the Shednet House only after receiving official administrative approval or a work order from the Horticulture Department.
- A designated committee will verify the structure once construction is complete.
- The grant amount is transferred directly to the farmer's bank account, or to the producer firm based on the farmer's written consent.
