The Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying recently organised an awareness programme on entrepreneurship schemes of the department through common service centres (CSC) network by holding 2000 village-level camps across eight Union Territories and Goa. Attendees were given complete information about these schemes, as well as how to apply on the scheme portal through the CSC itself.
Minister for Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying Parshottam Rupala addressed the farmers connected through camps.
The minister stated that the schemes will bring a sharp focus on entrepreneurship development and breed improvement in rural poultry, sheep, goat and piggery including feed and fodder development. The rural Poultry Entrepreneurship component will give direct employment to 1.5 lakh farmers and 2 lakh farmers will be directly benefitted from sheep goats and poultry development. Fodder and fodder seed availability in the country will be increased by many folds through the creation of fodder entrepreneurs.
The programme was graced by Dr Sanjeev Balyan and L Murugan, Ministers of State, Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying and other dignitaries.
