Instead of cultivating traditional crops, farming of flowers can also provide good income to the farmer. With this, farmers can earn good income in less time. But at present very few farmers in India cultivate flowers, in some places farmers cultivate flowers only during the season. There is a lack of awareness about this among the farmers, that is why the government is also promoting flower cultivation among the farmers. In this series, the government in Bihar is giving subsidy to the farmers on the cultivation of marigold flowers.
This subsidy is being given to the farmers by the Bihar Government under the “Integrated Horticulture Development Mission Scheme”. In this regard, farmers are being given subsidy up to 70% on marigold cultivation. If you cultivate it in a one-hectare field, you will get a subsidy of Rs 28 thousand. In fact, the government has fixed the cost of cultivation of marigold flowers per hectare of field at Rs 40 thousand and on this cost they are given a subsidy of Rs 28 thousand, up to 70% subsidy.
