How to Apply
Offline Application
Applicants can apply for Establishment of Vermicompost Units through the offline application process outlined below.
Application Process
Vermicompost unit applications are handed to the officers or staff of the Horticulture Mobile team Centres. Each application must include land papers like Khasra and Khatauni, an Aadhaar card, PAN card, Udhyan card, bank account details and a mobile number. The process is offline at present.
Farmers who find the form hard to fill can get help from staff at their Horticulture Mobile team Centre. The Centre sends the submitted application to the district level, which passes it on to the Directorate. When the Directorate approves the proposal, a government order is issued empowering the district to give approval/work orders.
After acceptance, the district officer sends an approval letter to the farmer and also informs them by phone. The unit is then built in the presence of department officials and inspected on site. Once verified, the subsidy is credited directly to the beneficiary's bank account.
