The Green House Scheme under the Agriculture Department of Rajasthan provides a subsidy for constructing greenhouses. These structures—made of glass or polythene—allow farmers to control agri-climatic factors such as temperature, humidity, and sunlight, enabling the cultivation of horticultural crops (vegetables, fruits, and flowers) throughout the year regardless of extreme weather conditions. This scheme helps farmers achieve better production, especially in vegetable farming, by creating a favorable micro-climate for crops.
Other important points:
• Greenhouse construction can commence only after receiving an administrative approval/work order from the Horticulture Department.
• A verification committee will assess the constructed greenhouse post-completion.
• The grant is disbursed directly into the farmer’s or producer firm’s bank account based on the farmer’s written consent.
Benefits
• For areas up to a maximum of 4,000 sqm, subsidies are provided based on approved rates or department-specified unit costs (whichever is lower):
– General-category farmers: 50% grant
– Small, Marginal, Scheduled Caste, and Scheduled Tribe farmers: 70% grant
– Scheduled Tribe areas and all small & marginal farmers: Additional 25% grant
• This financial support enables farmers to cultivate high-quality horticultural crops year-round by mitigating adverse environmental factors.

• The applicant must be a native of Rajasthan
