About Us
Livestock are integral to agriculture in India, enhancing food security, providing employment, and contributing significantly to the Indian Economy, they also act as a financial safety net for rural households and play a crucial role in exports.
In order to meet the rising demand of animal products like - milk, meet, egg, wool, this sector needs further strengthening and value addition in terms of new technologies, breeding program, disease control & eradication programs, establishing dairy & meat processing infrastructures, human resource development etc. To address these challenges, the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Govt. of India has launched several schemes out-reaching to States/UT’s in the Country.
These Schemes are operated in a time bound manner and the outcome is periodically reviewed for effective implementation. Monthly progress report, quarterly progress report, yearly progress report, management information system, regional review meetings, video conferencing session with the participating states are some important monitoring mechanism of the schemes. However, there is a need for independent third party monitoring of the schemes to showcase the status at ground level and to guide the department for further improvement of the schemes.
