CENTRALLY SPONSORED SCHEME OF

NATIONAL MISSION ON MEDICINAL PLANTS

OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES (REVISED)
1. 1.1

PREAMBLE
Medicinal Plants form the major resource base of our indigenous health care

traditions. The outreach and acceptability of AYUSH systems, both nationally as well as globally, are dependent on uninterrupted availability of quality medicinal plants based raw material. More than 90% of the species used in trade continue to be

sourced from the wild of which about 2/3rd are harvested by destructive means. 1.2 The Cultivation of medicinal plants, therefore, is the key to meeting the raw

material needs of the AYUSH industry besides offering opportunities for higher levels of income, crop diversification and growth of exports. Indian exports of medicinal

plants and herbs are mostly in the form of raw herbs and extracts and account for almost 60-70% of the current exports of herbal/AYUSH products. During the year 2004 05, the Indian exports of Isabgol and Senna alone were of the order of 40,000 metric tonnes largely in raw form. The export of value added items require product

development, setting up of processing facilities, quality assurance and brand promotion. Increasing concerns of unsustainable collection from the wild,

disappearance of certain species on the one hand and concerns of quality and standardization on the other make it imperative to promote cultivation of species critical to AYUSH systems of medicine through appropriate financial incentives, policy, infrastructural and marketing support in a synergistic manner. 2.

NEED AND JUSTIFICATION

1

2.1

With more than 95% of the AYUSH products being plants based, the raw

material base needs to be shifted from forests to the cultivated source for its long term sustainability. 2.2 The global trade requires products of standardized phyto-chemical composition

free from heavy metals, and other toxic impurities and certified to be organic or Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) compliant. This is possible only through the cultivation route where the chain of custody regime is easier to maintain. 2.3 Indian share of the world herbal trade is less than 10%. Even here, the export of

herbal products is largely in the form of raw herbs with 2/3rd of the export basket comprising raw herbs and extracts. This needs to change considering the US$120 billion herbal market. It is for this reason that the scheme provides for support to value addition and processing linked to the clusters of cultivation of selected plants that are in demand by the AYUSH industry and export. 3. 3.1

NATIONAL MEDICINAL PLANTS BOARD

The National Medicinal Plants Board (NMPB) was set up a through a

Government Resolution notified on 24th November 2000 under the Chairmanship of Union Health & Family Welfare Minister. The objective of establishing the Board was to establish an agency which would be responsible for coordination of all matters relating to medicinal plants, including drawing up policies and strategies for conservation, proper harvesting, cost-effective cultivation, research and development, processing, marketing of raw material in order to promote and develop this sector. This was considered necessary as medicinal plants as a subject is handled by different Ministries/Departments like Environment & Forests, Agriculture, Science & Technology and Commerce. The Board, therefore, has the function of co-ordination with Ministries/Department/Organizations/State/UT Governments for development of

medicinal plants in general and specifically in the following fields: 2

i)

Assessment of demand/supply position relating to medicinal plants both within the country & abroad.

ii) Advise concerned Ministries/Departments/Organisations/State/UT Governments on policy matters relating to schemes and programmes for development of medicinal plants. iii) Provide guidance in the formulation of proposals, schemes and programmes etc. to be taken by agencies having access to land for cultivation and infrastructure for collection, storage transportation of medicinal plants. iv) Identification, inventorization and quantification of medicinal plants. v) Promotion of ex-situ and in-situ cultivation and conservation of medicinal plants. vi) Promotion of co-operative effort among collectors and growers and assisting them to store, transport and market their produce effectively. vii) Setting up of database system for inventorisation, dissemination of information and facilitating the prevention of Patents being obtained for medicinal use of plants which is in the public domain. viii) Matter relating to import/export of raw material, as well as value added products

either as medicine, food supplements or as herbal cosmetics including adoption of better techniques for marketing of products to increase their reputation for quality and reliability in the country and abroad. ix) Undertaking and awarding Scientific, technological research and cost-effectiveness studies. x) Development of protocols for cultivation and quality control. xi) Encouraging the protection of Patent Rights and IPR. 3.2 In terms of the Cabinet Resolution of November 24, 2000 and the Cabinet

Committee on Economic Affairs approval communicated vide Cabinet Secretariats

O.M. No. CCEA/23/2008 (I) dated 25th July, 2008, the composition of the Board is as under:(a) (b) (c) Minister of Health & Family Welfare Chairman Vice Chairperson

from Pharmacopoeial Laboratory of Indian Medicines/ Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia Laboratory, Ghaziabad and two members representing State Governments (by rotation every two years). (h) Chief Executive Officer as Member Secretary in the rank of Joint Secretary to

the Government of India. 3.3 The National Medicinal Plants Board (NMPB), has been implementing a Central

Sector Scheme of Setting up Medicinal Plants Board during the 10th Plan. During the 11th Plan, however, the Central Sector Scheme has been modified to give sharper 4

focus on promotional activities like resource

augmentation, in-situ conservation,

research and development, ex-situ conservation of rare and endangered species, support to Joint Forest Management Committees for value addition/warehousing, capacity building and training of primary collectors and forest dwellers in good collection and sustainable harvesting practices etc. Central Sector Scheme for Conservation, The scheme, renamed as the and Sustainable

Development

Management has been approved with

the 11th Plan outlay of Rs. 321.30 crores.

However, the component relating to commercial cultivation has been taken out of the pre-revised Central Sector Scheme and formulated into a new scheme which seeks to integrate cultivation with pre and post harvest activities, like, development of nurseries for quality planting material, cultivation of species in demand by the ASU industry, support for post harvest management, marketing, improvement of marketing infrastructure, organic/GAP certification, quality assurance and crop insurance. These components have been incorporated in a new Centrally Sponsored Scheme of National Mission on Medicinal Plants. 4. 4.1

NATIONAL MISSION ON MEDICINAL PLANTS

The Centrally Sponsored Scheme of National Mission on Medicinal Plants has

been approved with a total outlay of Rs. 630 crores for implementation during the 11th Plan. During the 11th Plan, the Central Governments contribution will be 100%.

During the 12th Plan, however, the State Governments contribution is proposed to be suitably enhanced, based on the mid-term review of the scheme. The scheme is proposed to be implemented in a mission mode to organically link different components under the scheme and thus give a strategic push to the Sector during the 11th Plan 5

MISSION OBJECTIVES

5.1

Support cultivation of medicinal plants which is the key to integrity, quality,

efficacy and safety of the AYUSH systems of medicines by integrating medicinal plants in the farming systems, offer an option of crop diversification and enhance incomes of farmers. 5.2 Cultivation following the Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACPs) to

promote standardization and quality assurance and thereby enhance acceptability of the AYUSH systems globally and increase exports of value added items like herbal extracts, phyto-chemicals, dietary supplements, cosmeceuticals and AYUSH products. 5.3 Support setting up processing value zones/clusters and through and convergence development of of

cultivation,

warehousing,

addition

marketing

infrastructure for entrepreneurs to set up units in such zones/clusters. 5.4 Implement and support certification mechanism for quality standards, Good

Agriculture Practices (GAP), Good Collection Practices (GCP), and Good Storage Practices (GSP). 5.5 Adopt a Mission mode approach and promote partnership, convergence and

synergy among stake holders involved in R&D, processing and marketing in the public as well as private sector at national, regional, state and sub state level. 6 6.1

MISSION STRATEGY
The Mission would adopt an end-to-end approach covering production, post

harvest management, processing and marketing. This will be achieved by promoting cultivation of medicinal plants in identified clusters/zones within selected districts of states having potential for medicinal plants cultivation and to promote such cultivation following Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACPs) through synergistic linkage with production and supply of quality planting material, processing, quality testing, certification, warehousing and marketing for meeting the demands of the AYUSH industry and for exports of value added items. 6

6.2

The Mission also seeks to promote medicinal plants as a crop alternative to the

farmers and through increased coverage of medicinal plants and with linkages for processing, marketing and testing, offer remunerative prices to the growers/farmers. This will also reduce pressure on forests on account of wild collection. 6.3 Mission seeks to adopt communication through print and electronic media as a

strong component of its strategy to promote integration of medicinal plants farming in the agriculture/horticulture systems with emphasis on quality and standardization through appropriate pre and post harvest linkages. 6.4 Promote and support collective efforts at cultivation and processing in clusters

through Self Help Groups, growers cooperatives/associations, producer companies and such other organizations with strong linkages to manufacturers/traders and R&D institutions.

The funds from NMPB will be released through the SHM in such cases and separate accounts maintained. In states, which are not covered under the National Horticulture Mission, the State Government may designate the 10

State Agriculture Department as the nodal department for implementation. The funds in such cases can, however, be released through the State Medicinal Plants Board or the State Health Societies to enable timely flow of funds for implementation of the projects under the Mission. The state government shall choose the most efficient and effective agency available in the state to implement this Mission 7.10 The State Horticulture Mission, if designated as the State level implementation

agency by the State Government, will implement the scheme in coordination with the Agriculture, AYUSH, industries department and SMPB and would have to be registered as a Society. It should also have the functional autonomy to receive funds and implement the scheme. The Panchayati Raj Institutions would be fully involved in identifying the agency for implementation at the district level and in identification of clusters and organizing growers into SHGs/cooperatives/ associations and producer companies. 7.11 The Mission will have a strong technical component. There shall be a technical

screening committee of domain experts to appraise the proposals/action plans received from the State Governments who will advise, appraise and recommend activities to be supported under the scheme for giving sharp focus to the objectives of the scheme to the SFC. There will also be a Technical Screening Committee at the state level consisting of domain experts to appraise the proposals. The states will have the flexibility to adopt the appropriate model viz. Cooperatives, Federations, Forest Development Corporations, Joint Sector Companies for processing, warehousing, marketing etc. Wherever possible linkages will be developed with State Horticulture Mission in identification of clusters for cultivation and development of infrastructure of Post Harvest Management facilities like warehouses, marketing yards, drying sheds, testing labs and setting up of processing industries. The State Level implementation agency for Mission will have the following functions: 11

i)

Prepare perspective and annual action plan with the technical support from a Technical Support Group at the state level with members from State Agriculture Universities, Facilitation Centres, ICAR, ICFRE, CSIR Institutions, and other experts in the field to oversee its implementation.

ii)

Receive funds from the National Medicinal Plants Board, the State Government and other sources for carrying on the activities, maintain proper accounts thereof and submit utilization certificate to the concerned agencies.

iii)

Release funds to the implementing organizations like SHGs, cooperatives of growers, growers associations, producer companies responsible for different clusters and oversee, monitor and review the implementation of the programmes.

iv)

Organise base-line survey and feasibility studies in different parts (District, sub-District, or a group of Districts) to determine the status of medicinal plants, its potential and demand, and tailor assistance accordingly. Similar studies would also be undertaken for other components of the programmes.

v)

Assist and oversee the implementation of the Scheme in different clusters selected with reference to their agro-climatic suitability for growing medicinal plants through farmers, Societies, NGOs, Growers, Associations, Self-Help Groups, State Institutions and other similar entities. The State implementation agency shall also be responsible for mobilizing growers to form SHGs/ Cooperatives/ Federations, producer companies and financial assistance will be available for promoting these grass root level organizations, which may include the training and other incidental expenses like engaging animators etc.

vi)

Organise workshops, seminars and training programmes for all interest groups/associations at the State level, with help of the Facilitation Centres set up in State Agriculture Universities and ICAR/ICFRE/CSIR Institutions and other

organisations having technical expertise. 12

7.12 At the district level, the Mission will be coordinated by the District Mission Committee (DMC) of the National Horticulture Mission in states where implementation is through the Horticulture Department. If implemented through the Agriculture

Department, the District Mission Directorate will be registered as a society with Deputy Director (Agriculture)/District Agriculture Officer as its head. The District

Mission Committee (DMC) will be responsible for project formulation and monitoring. The DMC will have representatives from concerned line Departments, Growers Associations, Marketing Boards, Industries, Departments, Self Help Groups (SHGs) and other Non-Governmental Organisations as its members. Committee and Panchayti Raj Institutions will be The District Planning integrated/ involved in

implementation of the programme as per the choice and discretion of the State Government. 7.13 The State implementation agency may also consider implementing the scheme in selected clusters by directly involving reputed NGOs, cooperatives, state

government undertakings, growers associations, producer companies, self help groups without the requirement of routing the proposals through district level implementation agency. In that case, the project report of different organizations/clusters will be

consolidated into the State Action Plan and submitted to the NMPB for its consideration. Organizations like Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) and Agriculture Technology Management Agencies (ATMAs) could also be involved in planning, implementation and monitoring at the district level and below for selected clusters. In such cases, the funds can also be released to the cluster level implementation agency directly without routing them through the District level agency. 7.14 The institutional arrangement for implementing the major activities under the Mission at the cluster/zone level i.e. technology dissemination, quality planting material, cultivation, post harvest management and marketing will vary depending 13

upon the organizations/institutions present in the state covered under the programme. All the activities related to cultivation, processing, marketing, quality assurance and certification in different clusters will be consolidated at the State level for better synergy between the Mission activities. State Governments are free to choose their own model, create or orient existing institutions to carry forward the objectives of the Mission in a holistic manner. Linkages with other Schemes 7.15 Although the Scheme covers all the activities that are required to be supported for a successful end to end medicinal plants based agri-business, there may still be some components which can be dovetailed into the Action Plan from other Schemes of the other Ministries/ Departments and State Governments. For instance, components like micro irrigation, application of fertilizer, construction of irrigation tanks, setting up demonstration plots which are not a part of this scheme may be dovetailed from schemes of Ministries/ Departments concerned. This will ensure a convergence of

cultivation with pre and post harvest management activities in its totality.

MISSION INTERVENTIONS

Support Cultivation of Medicinal Plants 8.1 Cultivation of medicinal plants has not taken off in the country, as the raw

material sourced from the wild is available at cheaper rates even as it has deleterious effect on their wild populations. To make cultivation lucrative, it is necessary to support the effort - both technically and financially. A programme to support cultivation through subsidy was implemented during the 10th plan period. Whereas the programme has generally resulted in encouraging cultivation of many species of conservation concern and those in high demand by the AYUSH industry, a number of other species used in AYUSH medicine continued to be sourced from the wild. The scheme seeks to support cultivation of more and more species critical to AYUSH 14

systems. The subsidy available for various medicinal plants has been revised so as to direct subsidy towards cultivation of the species required by AYUSH systems and those of conservation concern. 8.2 The cultivation is proposed to be done in conjunction with the processing

facilities and markets available for medicinal plants. This is proposed to be done in clusters identified by State Governments through individuals, Self Help Groups, Cooperative Societies of medicinal plants growers. Preference to cultivation in clusters through SHGs, growers, cooperatives, producer companies over individual centric cultivation will ensure targeting of subsidy to the small and marginal farmers. Therefore, small and marginal farmers will be organised into Self Help Groups and cooperative societies of medicinal plants growers or as producer companies to enable them to take up medicinal plants cultivation, which presently they are unable to do. Financial assistance on project basis will also be provided to State implementation agency for mobilizing the Growers cooperatives/ Federations as well as for preparation of cluster specific project reports/business plans to be eventually consolidated into State Action Plan. 8.3 Project for cultivation must clearly spell out the source of planting

material/seed. Only identified seed source or nurseries supplying certified planting material will be eligible to supply germplasm to growers seeking assistance under the scheme. The business plan/project report for each cluster as well as the Action Plan for the state should cover the list of organizations (public sector or private sector) for quality planting material together with the technical details of their capacity, infrastructure, species proposed to be raised, their location and the financial outlays. 8.4 Though most of the cultivation is proposed to be taken up in states where

processing zones/clusters will be set up, other states/districts where clusters for cultivation are identified with proper linkage with manufacturers/markets will also be 15

provided support for cultivation through growers, SHGs, Cooperative Societies of medicinal plants growers, producer companies and corporates. 8.5 The cost norms for 57 species are indicated at Annexure I. The list of prioritized plants for cultivation for which subsidy @ ranging from 20% to 75% cost norms will be admissible is indicated at the Annexure II. The cost norms of 77 species are indicated at Annexure II. The Action Plan must cover the list of species, the proposed area to be brought under cultivation under each subsidy groups (of 20%, 50% and 75%) and the financial outlay proposed for cultivation component. For the remaining species, the cost norms would be considered at the time of approval of the Action Plan after consultation with the organizations NMPB may consider appropriate. Summary of revised cost norms and pattern of assistance and new activities under the National Mission on Medicinal Plants during the 11th Plan is given at Annexure III.

Establishment of Seed Centres and nurseries for Supply of Certified Planting Material: 8.6 Cultivation of medicinal plants and eventual returns from such cultivation is

largely dependent upon the quality of planting material used. However, as of now, there is no mechanism of providing certified germplasm or producing certified planting stock on commercial scale. 8.7 It is proposed to establish Seed Centres with Research Wing of State Forest

Departments/Research Organisations/State Agriculture Universities to stock and supply certified germplasm of priority medicinal plant species for cultivation. Production and supply of seeds and quality planting material through NGOs and Corporates will also be permitted provided the quality can be certified through an accredited certification agency. For setting up of Seed Production Center, financial

assistance @ 50,000 / hectare would be provided. Financial assistance @ 100% cost in case of the Public Sector, and 50% to Private Sector Limited to 2.5 ha. / per beneficiary shall be admissible.

16

These centers would support supply of seed of medicinal plants for raising planting material or direct cultivation and would ensure disease free good quality planting material.

Establishment of Tissue Culture Unit 8.8 Production of planting material through tissue culture is an established

technique which yields good planting material. Research is also being conducted on production of planting material of some medicinal plants through Tissue Culture. Therefore, the component of Tissue Culture Unit has been added under National Mission on Medicinal Plants. However, this activity being in initial stage for medicinal plants, financial assistance of Rs. 50.00 lakhs per unit shall be provided. In case of projects in public sector, 100% financial assistance limited to a maximum of Rs. 50 lakhs per project for production of 5 lakhs plants per year, and 50% financial assistance for projects in private sector limited to a maximum of Rs. 25 lakhs per project for production of 5 lakhs plants per year shall be provided.

Model Nurseries 8.8 To meet the requirement of quality planting material for cultivation assistance

would be provided for new nurseries under the public as well as private sector. Infrastructure for model nurseries would include the following: i) ii) iii) Mother stocks block maintenance to protect from adverse weather conditions. Raising root stock seedlings under net house conditions. Propagation house with ventilation having insect proof netting in the sides and fogging and sprinkler irrigation systems. iv) Hardening/maintenance in insect proof net house with light screening properties and sprinkler irrigation systems. 17

v) vi) 8.9

Pump house to provide sufficient irrigation and water storage. Soil sterilization steam sterilization system with boilers. A model nursery should on average have an area of about 4 hectares and would

cost Rs. 20 25 lacs per unit. The model nurseries which would be established under the Public sector will be eligible for 100% assistance of a maximum of Rs. 20.00 25.00 lakhs per unit. The model nurseries would produce 2 3 lakhs plants depending upon the input costs and time required for the plant to be fit for planting a minimum of 50,000 plants per Hectare every year. It would be the responsibility of the nurseries to ensure quality of the planting material. For model nurseries in the case of private sector, credit linked back ended subsidy @ 50% the assistance will be 50% of the cost subject to a maximum of Rs. 10 12.50 lakhs per unit.
Fencing and Soil sterilization can also be taken up based on the need but it should be within the permissible project outlays fixed for the nurseries.

Small Nurseries 8.10 Small nurseries, covering area of about one hectare, will have infrastructure facilities to hold 60,000 to 70,000 plantsminimum 50,000 numbers of plants. These plants will be maintained for a period of approximately 9-12 months. Infrastructure for the small nurseries will consist of a net house. Micro sprinkler irrigation system will be provided in the net house. The nurseries will also have provision for solar sterilization of soil media to meet the contingency requirement of containers/transfer from small to big containers.
Fencing and Soil sterilization can be taken up based on the need but shall be admissible within the permissible project outlays fixed for the nurseries.

8.11

Small nurseries would cost Rs. 4.00 6.25 lakhs per unit.

The assistance

Assistance will be provided to the extent of 100% of the cost for the Public sector and 50% of the cost subject to a ceiling of Rs. 2.00 lakhs for the nurseries in the private sectorin case of Private Sector, Credit linked back ended subsidy @ 50% of cost, subject to a maximum of Rs. 3.125 lakhs / unit.. The small nurseries would produce at least 60,000a minimum of 50,000 plants per year. 18

8.12

It would be the responsibility of the nurseries to ensure quality of the planting

material through certification for which independent certification agencies will be identified and notified by NMPB. The private nurseries will also be encouraged to move towards self accreditation also. The nurseries could be multi-crop or crop specific

depending upon the requirements of planting material in the locality/project area. Hence, the type of nursery proposed to be established should be clearly indicated in the Action Plan. The Action Plan should also contain an assessment of the existing nurseries, the number of planting material being produced, crop wise and the additional requirement of nurseries. Organic Farming In order to have high quality medicinal products, it is pertinent to grow / cultivate these crops organically. Keeping this in view, provision has been made under the scheme for organic certification where pattern of assistance of NHM is followed. However, during the course of implementation of the scheme, it was felt that component of Adoption of organic farming is not included in the Mission scheme.

Since organic certification and adoption are inter-linked programmes, it would be in the fitness of things if adoption is also added under the scheme as per the pattern of NHM. Accordingly, it is proposed to add Adoption of organic farming as new component under the existing scheme on the pattern of NHM @Rs. 20,000/ha. However, assistance upto 50% of the cost limited to Rs. 10,000/ha for maximum area of 4 ha/ beneficiary spread over a period of three years would be provided. The programme is to be linked with certification only.

Support for Medicinal Plant Processing and Post Harvest Management including Marketing 8.13 It is estimated that as high as 30% of the raw material reaching the

manufacturers is of poor quality and is, therefore, rejected. Cultivation of medicinal plants, therefore, needs to be supported with infrastructure for ware housing, drying, grading, storage and transportation. These facilities are essential for increasing the marketability of the medicinal plants, adding value to the produce, increasing 19

profitability and reducing losses.

APEDA has set up Agri Export Zones (AEZs) for

medicinal and aromatic plants in the states of Kerala and Uttarakhand. Based on the experience gained in implementation of AEZs on medicinal plants in these states, the Scheme seeks to support infrastructure for processing and post harvest management in the different regions of the country in identified clusters/zones which are well endowed with infrastructure of marketing/trading centres, have tradition of medicinal plants as a farming option and has R&D institutions/SAUs for technology dissemination and capacity building. While the AEZs scheme implemented by APEDA has primary focus on exports, the present scheme seeks to add value to the medicinal plants cultivated/collected and meet large domestic requirement of the AYUSH industry. Additionally, the species having export market would also be covered with a view to increasing share of value added items in the exports of herbal/AYUSH products. The species targeted for export should be finalized after assessing the export market for such species. The units in the clusters have to be geographically proximate to each other so that all members of the cluster are in the position of easily utilizing the common facilities. The facilities being created would be shared by all shareholders and may be open to others on payment basis. The illustrative list of facilities to be created in the post-harvesting infrastructure is as follows: i) Drying yards:- Drying yards to accomplish the primary task of drying the products in hygienic conditions. In addition, cleaning and grading infrastructure is an essential activity to be linked to drying to increase the shelf life and the market price of herbs. Since herbs have to be dried in shades, drying yards with shade net provision or facilities for low temperature drying will have to be created. ii) Storage godowns: The storage godowns is expected to receive produce from nearby drying yards. The storage godowns as a link between drying yards and processing units. Storage godowns have to be adequately ventilated and set up at 20

strategic locations. The storage godowns and drying yards have to be located in such a manner that they are not very far from the farm lands and cater to the identified clusters of cultivation. iii) Grading / Packing units:The grading / packing units are essential

infrastructure requirements and it should be nearby to drying yards and storage godowns. iv) Processing unit:- Processing unit based on the medicinal plants grown in the clusters would have to be set up, some of which will be plant specific. The processing unit should preferably be set up within the existing industrial estates, which have the necessary infrastructure of power, road network and linkages with rail head/sea ports. The financial assistance @ 40% credit linked subsidy on the cost of plant and machinery limited to Rs. 4.00 crores / unit would be provided under the scheme. v) Quality testing of raw material:- Laboratories for testing of raw material and value added items and their certification for domestic consumption as well as exports would be done through the existing accredited laboratories. In the absence of such laboratories in the zone/ clusters new laboratories will be set up, preferably in a PPP Mode. vi) are:(a) To strengthen infrastructure of wholesale markets, agriculture mandies for marketing of medicinal plants. (b) (c) (d) To set up herbal mandies wherever they do not exist. To strengthen linkages between farmers and industry/traders. To disseminate information on market, prices, market trends to enable farmers in selection of appropriate medicinal crops. The components admissible for assistance are: 21 Marketing:- The main objectives of providing assistance under this component

(a)

Market Promotion:- The programmes for market promotion like media promotion, participation in exhibitions, trade fairs, hiring display facilities are project based but limited to Rs. 10 lakhs for each cluster will be eligible for 50% assistance under market promotion for the herbs/raw material produced by the cluster.

(b)

Market Intelligence:- The Action Plan may include collection, compilation and dissemination of market intelligence to growers. Any other innovative activity relating to market intelligence may also be supported under this component. The assistance for this component will be project based.

(c)

Buy back Interventions:- The buy back interventions in the form of buyer seller meetings, flexible and innovative marketing arrangements, Creation of revolving fund at Cluster level for marketing of medicinal plants, and mobilization assistance to SHGs, cooperatives, producer companies could be provided under this component of the scheme. Any other activity which seeks to

strengthen marketing and institutionalize linkage between buyer and seller may be included under this component. The assistance will be project based.

(d)

Market Infrastructure:- Under this component herbal mandies that are proposed to be set up at the village level can be given assistance up to Rs 10 20 lakhs. Assistance will also be available for upgradation/creation of infrastructure in the agriculture mandies for trading of medicinal plants wherever such mandies exist at the village level. Similarly, assistance 22 will be provided to District/State

agriculture mandies for creating and upgrading physical infrastructure for trading of medicinal plants. Assistance will also be available for setting up herbal mandies at State/District level. The level of financial assistance for rural mandies through village bodies/SHGs/

Cooperatives will be Rs. 10 20 lakhs. 100% assistance to public / SHGs / cooperatives. Credit linked back ended subsidy @ 40% of Capital

cost in general areas and 55% in case of hilly and scheduled areas for individual entrepreneurs and for State/District level mandies upto a maximum of Rs. 2 crores. Financial assistance. 100% assistance to public / SHG / cooperative. Credit linked back ended subsidy @ 50% limited to 100.00 lakhs to private sector. vii) Medicinal Plants Cluster It is estimated that as high as 30% of the raw material reaching the manufacturers is of poor quality and is therefore rejected. Cultivation of medicinal plants, therefore, needs to be supported in a cluster mode which has the required infrastructure for ware housing, drying, grading storage and transportation. These facilities are essential for increasing the marketability of the medicinal plants, adding value to the produce, increasing profitably and reducing losses. The medicinal plants cluster seeks to add value to the medicinal plants cultivated / collected and meet large domestic requirements of AYUSH industry and extracts sector. Accordingly, the species having export market would also be covered with a view to increasing share of value added items in the exports of herbal / AYUSH products.

Medicinal Plants clusters implemented through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) of medicinal plants processing units in a cluster shall be eligible for funding under the scheme upto 60% of cost of the core interventions and 25% of the cost of add on interventions, within overall ambit of 60% of the project cost subject to maximum of Rs. 10.00 crores per cluster. Scope and Coverage The Scheme would cover two types of interventions namely Core intervention and Add on interventions

PATTERN OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

For cultivation: 10.1 Selection and prioritization of plant species for financial assistance under the

schemes of NMPB would have to be based on demand in the domestic and international markets, their availability in the wild and their conservation status (critically endangered, threatened, vulnerable etc). Also, the quantum of subsidy

should be different for trees, which have long gestation period as opposed to crops that are annuals, bi-annuals and perennials, which start yielding after 1-2 years. The cost norms of plantations as applicable now are indicated in Annexure-I. The list of plants for cultivation together with the subsidy admissible for each category of plants is at Annexure-II. 10.2 There are other species like Guggal, Ashok, Arjun, Bael, Harad, Beheda,

Nagkesar, Aonla which have long gestation period and, therefore, will require support 28

during the gestation period. Also, there are species which are on CITES Appendix I and II, Schedule VI of Wildlife (Protection) Act, negative list of plants for export and plants presently imported which need to be supported through cultivation. The pattern of subsidy will be a graded pattern of financial assistance as detailed below: i) 75% subsidy for growing of species of plants which are included in CITES list, schedule VI of Wildlife Protection Act and negative list of exports and are highly endangered. ii) 50% subsidy for cultivation of medicinal plants where sources of supply are critically declining and are long gestation. iii) 20% subsidy for cultivation of other species needing support. Note:- There will be Provision of subsidy for maintenance cost of medicinal plants species approved for plantation/cultivation in 2nd & 3rd years of plantation/cultivation as under:-

(a) only. (b)

Annuals (Herbs) Eligible subsidy in one installment in the first year

Shrubs & Climbers Eligible subsidy in two installments i.e. 75% in first year & 25% in 2nd year.

(c)

Trees Crops & Woody Climbers Eligible subsidy in three installments i.e. 65% in first year, 20% in 2nd year and 15% in the 3rd year.

The subsidy for cultivation is back-ended and as such subsidy in 2 nd and 3rd year would be provided based on the actual achievements made under each crop in the subsequent years.

29

10.3

The overall weighted average of subsidy will, however, be kept within 30% while

preparing action plan for the State and identifying plants to be supported under the scheme. The list of 116 (93 + 23) 140 (116+24) plants covered under the scheme is not exhaustive and subject to revision in terms of addition / deletion of species of plants more plants may be added to the list based on demand in trade, after review by Expert Committee of NMPB and approval of Standing Finance Committee (SFC) obtaining concurrence of Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance. The SFC for this Scheme shall have power to revise the cost of cultivation after review by an Expert Committee in consultation with ICAR. 10.4 The subsidy for nursery and plantation is back ended credit linked with 20%

credit component. However, credit requirement in case of cooperatives, corporates, Govt. companies, SHGs ant Trusts may not be insisted upon if these organizations have surplus funds supported with bank certificates or are otherwise financially sound. Subsidy may be provided without any Bank Loan to farmers in a cluster. For Processing facilities and infrastructural support: 10.5 Financial assistance @ 25% of the project cost limited to a maximum of Rs. 50

lakhs will be available as back ended subsidy for setting up of value addition and processing unit, like a solvent extraction/distillation unit, for production of value added items. 100% financial assistance limited to Rs. 10 lakhs each for constructing drying sheds and storage godowns as an adjunct to cultivation cluster will be admissible each if set up by SHGs/ Cooperatives of medicinal plants growers. Assistance for this will be limited to 50% if set up by individuals or the entrepreneurs. 10.6 Financial assistance @ 30% of the project cost subject to a maximum of Rs. 30

lakhs will be admissible for setting up of quality test labs for testing of raw material and value added products in a PPP mode on the basis of an MoU between organization, State Implementation Agency and NMPB. Additionally, financial assistance for market 30

promotion through the media, participation in exhibitions, trade fairs, developing and hiring of display facilities will be available @ 50% of the project cost limited to Rs. 10 lakhs. 10.7 The subsidy for value addition, processing and testing facilities is back ended.

However, requirement of credit will not be necessary, if the organization, cooperatives, Trusts, corporates, PSUs have surplus funds supported with bank certificates and the organizations are otherwise financially sound and are not in default with any financial institution. 10.8 The assistance from the National Medicinal Plants Board will be utilized only for

physical infrastructure, civil works, construction of building, plants & machinery and equipments. All remaining expenses on purchase of land of SPV, salary of cluster

development executive, joint participation in national and international exhibition, business delegation abroad and brand development etc. will be borne by SPV. The component-wise pattern of assistance admissible under the scheme is given at Annexure III.

11
11.1

MANAGEMENT SUPPORT
The State implementation agency for the Mission, should be such that it has the

infrastructure at the district level and below. For this purpose departments like the Horticulture and Agriculture Department may be considered as appropriate as the State level implementation agency. The State Horticultural Mission may, therefore, be designated as the State implementation agency for the Mission, if considered appropriate, by the State Government. If SMPBs are given the nodal responsibility, the States should appoint full time CEOs of the States Medicinal Plants Boards and it shall be mandatory to register the SMPBs as a society to enable flow of funds in states which do not have State Horticulture Mission.

31

11.3

Also, the states will be required to make Annual action plans and prepare road

map for development of the sector. Assistance will be admissible to only those states who prepare the State Action Plan. Those states where processing zones/clusters will be established will have to prepare detailed project reports/business plans for the identified zones/clusters group of clusters and incorporate specific business

plan/project report into State Action Plan. 11.4 It is proposed that 5% allocation will be available for management support

which will go to the states for activities like payment of the salary of the contractual staff and project management consultant engaged for implementing the scheme, preparation of annual plans, monitoring, administrative expenses like travel etc. and exposure visits. 11.5 The National Medicinal Plants Board (NMPB) has set up Facilitation Centres (FCs)

in the State Agriculture Universities and R & D Institutions of Ministry of Science & Technology (CSIR/DBT) to act as a service window to growers/farmers and entrepreneurs on technology transfer, capacity building and training, extension and market information on medicinal plants. The State implementation agency should

work in close coordination with the Facilitation Centres (FCs) for technical handholding under the Mission. More such centres can be set up, if required in future. The list of existing Facilitation Centres (FCs) is given at Annexure V.

12. PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION OF PROPOSAL

12.1 The State Government shall prepare an Annual Action Plan (Annexure-IV) for

the various activities under the Scheme and after approval at the State level Steering Committee headed by the Additional Chief Secretary/Agriculture Production

Commissioner/Development Commissioner at the state level forward 5 copies of the Action Plan to the NMPB. The Action Plan shall contain inter-alia details of nursery,

32

cultivation cluster and units of post harvest management and processing and value addition. The Action Plan may also be sent in a soft copy to the Board. 12.2 NMPB shall place all the Annual Action Plans before the Technical Screening

Committee. The Annual Action Plan after screening by the TSC will be placed before the SFC which shall accord approval and recommend release of financial assistance to the States through the State implementation agency in one or more installments. The State implementation agency for this purpose shall be registered as societies under the Societies Registration Act so that the funds could be channelised through it directly for onward release to the District and sub-district/cluster level or to the SHG, Cooperative Society or the producer company at the cluster level as the case may be. Before releasing funds to the state level implementation agency, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) will be entered into with the states incorporating the duties, responsibilities and commitments of the state and the Central Government. 12.3 Further release of the funds for the approved activities and to the individual

farmers/cultivators/groups will be done by the State implementation agency based on the beneficiaries, groups and entrepreneurs identified for various activities in different clusters. The credit linked subsidy may be released after verification of the work in the field in one installment but after certification by the bank about the progress achieved on the ground. For long-gestation crops and other project activities the SFC may fix suitable number of installments as may be required for smooth implementation of the Action Plan. 12.4 The State implementation agency may spend upto 5% of the outlay proposed in

the Action Plan on the management support which may include preparation of Action Plan for the state and project report/business plan for each cluster proposed to be covered under the scheme in the state. The format for preparing the Action Plan is given at Annexure IV. 33

12.5

The State Implementing Agency may formulate project for marketing under

National Mission on Medicinal Plants in accordance with the guidelines at Annexure VI for consideration of the Technical Screening Committee (TSC) and Standing Finance Committee (SFC) for the scheme.

13. MONITORING AND EVALUATION

13.1 Term end evaluation will be conducted at the end of the XI Plan. For effective Programme

planning and implementation of the activities under the scheme,

Management consultants will be permitted to be engaged both at Central and State levels for the duration of the scheme. The Project Management unit shall consist of as many consultants and support staff of data entry operators etc. as may be considered necessary for effective implementation and monitoring of the scheme. Independent concurrent monitoring and evaluation will also be carried out by engaging professional agencies with expertise in the field. The scheme will also be subjected to mid-term evaluation after 2 - 2 years of its implementation. The funds under the head Management Support will be utilized and provided for in the Annual Action Plan for the Project Management Consultant. 13.2 The state-wise physical targets and outlays will depend upon the proposals

received from the state Governments and the availability of funds for the purpose. The SFC will have the authority to revise the targets and outlays among different activities within the overall outlay available under the scheme and allocate funds among states based on the utilization and physical progress achieved on the ground. The overall target is to provide financial assistance for cultivation spread over 80,000 ha. 1 lakh ha. of area, raise production of medicinal plants upto 2 lakh tones, reduce dependence on wild collection to about 50% and increase the share of value added items in exports. It is estimated to also generate 6 crores mandays of rural

employment during the Plan period. 34

13.3

Mentoring and Monitoring by the State Missions Since the action plan/project is actually being implemented by the State

Missions, it is advisable that the State Missions may monitor all their activities at the field level through their own set of experts and take corrective measures accordingly. State Missions is granted 5% of the fund as management support funds. A part of the fund may be used by them for mentoring and monitoring. Therefore, field mentoring and monitoring of all their activities, including cultivation by individual farmers may be carried out by the State Mission and subsidies be linked to such monitoring systems for this purpose the services of retired officers of forest / horticulture / agriculture / Departments, Scientists etc. may be hired by State Missions. State Mission may also set-up Committees at state / district / block level for monitoring and mentoring of the programme in respect of National Mission on Medicinal Plants. 13.4 Third party monitoring by National Mission The comprehensive third party monitoring is important for the success of any scheme being implemented at the national level. There could be two types of

arrangements - either through the system of experts or hiring an agency. Hiring an agency is a better option as there would be uniformity in monitoring in all the States. NMPB has already experience of hiring Agricultural Finance Corporation for monitoring of Central Sector Scheme. There is need to further upgrade the monitoring and now the monitoring should be done by a National Level Agency with adequate manpower and infrastructure and get the information about the implementation of each activity under the scheme including the cultivation by individual farmers and the location and area data be picked up through the GPS system so that the same can be used in GIS based systems. The data in GIS based system would be used by the concerned

company (selected through a tender process) as well as to be provided to NMPB for further temporal and spatial analysis. 13.5 Focused Monitoring & Mentoring

35

NMPB may develop a list of experts and nominate subject-wise/ species-wise expert as Chief Technical Adviser and identify the institutes as Centres of Excellence in different fields of medicinal plants. In consultation with State Missions, focused monitoring & mentoring visits may be organized once in six months. The visit of panels of experts required for the concerned State would help the State Missions through mentoring with respect to their important activities. It is also proposed that same team of The

experts shall monitor both schemes of National Medicinal Plants Board.

Facilitation Centres may also be further activated to serve the purpose of focused monitoring and mentoring.
