 INTRODUCTION

Government of India is giving more priority for the welfare of farmers. In this regard it is
implementing several farmers welfare schemes to re-vitalize agriculture and livestock sector and
to improve their economic conditions. Therefore, the government has rolled out new initiatives,
schemes, programmes and plans to benefit all the farmers. These schemes or programmes are very
helpful for the farmers and he or she must know about it so as to take its benefit.
It is a know fact that farming is one of the most profitable livestock farming business and India is
one of the largest producers of goat meat and goat milk and the demand is increasing rapidly, Due
to increasing demand for goat meat and milk many marginal farmers and entrepreneurs are entering
the commercial goat farming business. The profits in goat farming mainly depend upon the amount
of money invested in it. The main obstacle of individuals and farmers is financial assistance to
their commercial goat farm.to encourage farmers, the state and central government are providing
loans and subsidies to start goat farming in rural and backward areas.

 OBJECTIVES
• Sustainable growth and development of livestock sector, including poultry
• Increasing availability of fodder and feed to substantially reduce the demand supply
gap through measures which include more area coverage under quality fodder seeds,
technology promotion, extension, post-harvest management and processing in
consonance with diverse agro-climatic condition.
• Accelerating production of quality fodder and fodder seeds through effective seed
production chain (Nucleus-Breeder-Foundation-Certified- Truthfully labelled, etc.)
with active involvement of farmers and in collaboration with the dairy / farmers
cooperatives, seed corporations, and private sector enterprises.
• Establishing convergence and synergy among ongoing Plan programmes and
stakeholders for sustainable livestock development.
• Promoting applied research in prioritized areas of concern in animal nutrition and
livestock production.

of livestock (except bovines which are being covered under another scheme of the
Ministry) in collaboration with farmers / farmers‟ groups / cooperatives, etc.
• Encouraging formation of groups of farmers and cooperatives / producers‟
companies of small and marginal farmers / livestock owners.
• Promoting innovative pilot projects and mainstreaming of successful pilots relating
to livestock sector.

Details of project activity
 Promoting intensive goal production: As per the scheme, provision of metal, fitness health
lover packages, vitamin(minerals), supplementation, insurance of the supplied animals
etc. are made.
 Subsidy: under this scheme of the government of Odisha has decided to provide 50% of
the subsidy total project cost. This is expected to abstract genuine entrepreneurs .out of
the unit coast of Rs 1 lakh respect of units of 50 goals an amount of Rs 0.12 lakh (as 50%
contribution) will be contributed by farmers and rest amount will be from project under
government subsidy.

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION: This scheme is required to be implemented involving the

livestock owners of all categories. However, performance would be given to ST/SC communities
and BPL families.
 SELECTION OF CLUSTERS: The annual calendar for vaccination and deworming of
goals in each cluster areas will be prepared by CDVO under intimation to his directorate.
 RELEASE OF SUBSIDY: The 1st phase of 40% will be released after completion of shed
for goals.2nd instalments of 40% after purchase of parent stock of goals.3rd installments of
20% after successful function of the units for 3 months

Modifications made in original guidelines

 Emphasis will be given for setting up 50 doe 83 buck unit with a project cost of 21.04
lakhs.
 Selection procedure of goal scout, cluster area may be identification beneficially and other
implementation norms been prepared by CDVO of the state.
 The shed construction area has been increased from 600 sq. feet to 1000 sq. feet setting up
100 goals.

 Goal subsidy amount varies from 25% to 35% of the total cost of goats or goal project.
 Subsidies may be applicable to shed construction feed cutter, milking equipment, other
things mentioned in the project report.
 Another important point is NABARD never directly lends to farmer but instead routes.
Process for goat farming loans subsidy from NABARD through banks.

4. Enter prices and services.

6
Plan for MGNREGA for animal husbandry-
Building sustainable livelihoods of the poor through MGNREGA.
 Under this scheme government helps the poor to make the shelter for their goal farming.
 A 7.5 sq. m shelter (length 3.75m and width 2m) would be suitable for 10 goals. The roof
will be supported by tree truss. The floor will be hand moorum.
 The cost of such goat shelter will be around 36,000. The floor should be constructed in a
manner such that it has inclined shape.
 There is 40% subsidy for goat shelter preparation will be given by the government after
completion of the shed.

NAP (NATIONAL ACTION PLAN) 2022

Objective of NAP 2022
1. To increase the production and productivity of goal farming sectors.
2. Meet the increased consumption demand of chevon and goat milk
3. Organization of sectors and development of Agri entrepreneurship and doubling the
farmers income.
KEY STRATIGIES
 Genetic improvement of indigenous goat through open nucleus breeding scheme.
 Strengthening of government goal breeding farm.

7
According to government recommendation from CRIG Makhdoom, the selected high genetic merit
bucks will be purchased @ 30,000% and distributed to the leading farmers by the state.

Identification of best Does and Buck

Distribution of bucks for breeding with the identified Does

Identification and selection of male kids born out of the identified Does.

Purchase of high merit bucks to distribute for natural service.

Distribution of SGM bucks to farmers.

 This farmers groups are helped in coordination with the marketing and value addition of the
products as well as the animals.
 More levers to be given to funding of entrepreneurs through entrepreneurship development
and employment generation component of the national livestock mission.

STATUS OF GOAT INDUSTRY

The minimum goat unit could consist of one goat and maximum could go to few hundreds under
range management. Goat farming in the country is mainly based on zero input. The fear of
mortality is perhaps largely responsible.

8
SCHEME FOR SOCIAL SECURITY FOR GOAT BREEDERS
 Insurance schemes which will provide financial and social security to the farmer.
 The basic objective of goat insurance scheme is to provide insurance cover to animal in the
case of accident including freighting storm tempests, flood, earthquake, famines and
disease contracted occurring during the period of policy for project area.
 Common facility center for the rural goat farmers.
 Farmers’ cooperative can play a major role in the field of production and marketing of
quality animals

IDSRR-EDEG
(Scheme for Integrated Development of Small Ruminants and
Rabbits)

 The contribution of the sector to the rural economy estimated at Rs 2400 crore mostly to
sustain landless, marginal and small farmers.
 It forms 10% of the total value of livestock production

GUIDELINES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF GOAT SCHEME UNDER THE

NATIONAL MISSION FOR PROTIEN SUPPLEMENTS (NMPS) IN STATES

The two major sets of activities proposed are

• Intensive goat production system

• To support conventional goat production with capacity building in the community.

STATES OR AREA OF IMPLEMMENTATION

The states of AndraPradesh, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal account for 95% of
the goat population in the country. This mission will be implemented in these states.Beneficiaries
will be selected from SC/ST communities and BPL families in rural areas.States will be required
to bear full cost of staff salary including any increase.

PLANNING AND APPROVAL

The NMPS will be implemented as a sub-scheme of Rastriya Krishi Vikas Yojana.

The DAPS will be upraised at the state level for inclusion in the consulate State Agricultural Plan
(SAP). Respective SAUS will submit project proposals directly to the state dept. of animal
husbandry.

IMMPLEMENTATION

The project will be implemented in a project mode by AMTA (Agriculture technology

management agency), Watershed committee.

13
REPORTING AND PERIODIC REVIEW

At national level, biannual review of the activities of the programmed will be under taken.

Notwithstanding the guidelines for the implementation of NMPs during 2012-13, the state
governments may take of an innovative project suitable for local conditions, to effectively
demonstrate the improved technology and practice for improving productivity and production.

 SUMMARY
The goats are considered as poor man's cow. They also survive under ecological stress, providing
economic support to the resource poor farmers. The contribution of small ruminants in the
livestock economy of the state is immense; goat milk and meat production has been growing at a
compounded rate of 15% per annum during the last five years. India has a very large and diverse
genetic resource of goats. This sector of goat farming has tremendous potential in employment
generation and poverty reduction. Before starting a goat farm the entrepreneurs/farmers are
advised to under go training on goat farming. They can contact local animal husbandry department
staffs/veterinary college/agriculture university etc. for the purpose. They should also visit
progressive goat farmers and government/agricultural university goat farm in the locality. They
must check the government schemes before starting a goat farming projects etc.
