Agriculture plays a very big role in Indian economic growth and development therefore comes under the priority sector where govt provides certain financial and non-financial support to enhance the production. The study was conducted to understand the farmer’s awareness about the different schemes which have been started by the Government of Himachal Pradesh for the development and growth of the Horticulture sector. The research was conducted in Jubbal and Kotkhai Block of District Shimla which reveals the picture that most of the farmers are aware of different schemes of Government but only very few are taking advantage of all these schemes. It has been observed that most of the farmers are taking benefits of fundamental schemes (subsidies medicines, fertilizers) but when it comes to other schemes which are related to Government support for farm mechanization or Agriculture infrastructure development the benefits claim of farmers is very less.
