Poly House (As per NHM & NHB Guidelines)
A Poly House is a framed structure covered with transparent or translucent polythene sheets, specially designed for growing vegetables, flowers, and fruits under controlled climatic conditions. In India, the National Horticulture Mission (NHM) and National Horticulture Board (NHB) have set guidelines and standards for the construction and subsidy eligibility of poly houses to promote protected cultivation practices among farmers.
These guidelines ensure optimal design, durability, and economic feasibility of poly houses used across various agro-climatic zones in India.
