Frequently asked questions
Which scheme is best for a small farmer in Doda?
It depends on what you grow. Start with HADP, because it covers many sectors. If you own an orchard, ask the Horticulture Office about MIDH. If you are in a JKCIP block, join a group or FPO.
Is there one office for all schemes?
No. Each department handles its own schemes. HADP is coordinated at district level by a nodal officer.
Do I need to pay to register?
Registration on the government portals is free. Be careful of anyone who asks for money to get you a subsidy.
Can a farmer producer organisation like HMAP help?
Yes. HMAP, an independent farmer producer organisation in Bhaderwah, can guide farmers on which scheme to choose and how to join a group. For the subsidy itself, always apply through the concerned department.
