Beekeeping training and free beehive support

The manifesto promised training, free beehive boxes and plastic support for farmers to take up beekeeping and honey production. The National Beekeeping and Honey Mission is an active government programme with a Rs 500 crore outlay for FY 2020-21 to FY 2025-26. MP government publicity on KVIC activities also mentions beekeeping boxes among equipment supplied in 2025. This supports the existence of official beekeeping training and equipment-support channels, but no approved-source evidence was found for a Madhya Pradesh-specific universal or statewide free beehive and plastic-box package matching the manifesto text. The verdict is partial because the core activity is supported, but the exact MP promise is not fully verified. Budget: NBHM has a Rs 500 crore national outlay, but no MP-specific allocation or utilisation for free boxes and plastic support was found.
