b. Shall possess a pucca cattle shed with

cement flooring for housing the animals

proposed to be reared.

c. Undertake to strictly stall feed the

animals and not allow open grazing.

d. New applicant compulsorily has to

undergo dairy training as decided by the

Department of AH & VS at the designated

training centre. Fresh applicants who are

old traditional dairy farmers and are

currently engaged in dairy activities

themselves having crossbred animals/

improved Buffaloes/Indigenous cattle, but

had not availed the Kamdhenu Scheme

could be exempted from undergoing the

dairy training and will be considered only

on recommendation from the Area Officer.

The main reason for the success of the dairy

programme in India is the involvement of milk

producers

setting

their

own

organizations

for

milk

production

enhancement, milk procurement, processing

and marketing. Dairying, as a subsidiary

source of income, is a real relief to most of

these weaker groups in society.

In today’s life style one or two milch

animals are not sufficient to enable these

farmers to generate sufficient additional

income to break the various subsistence

agricultural debt cycle. Animal Husbandry

plays a vital role in providing household

nutritional security, increased income, and

employment especially of women and in rural

transformation. Livestock provide economic

security and social status to the family.

Concentration of Livestock in general and

small ruminants in particular, is in marginal,

small and semi-medium holding, which

mostly represent poorer sections of the

society. Thus progress in livestock sector is

directly related to a more balanced

development of rural economy and upliftment

of the poor sections of the society.

Dairying with high yielding crossbred

cattle,

Improved

She

Buffaloes

and

Indigenous breeds namely Sahiwal, Gir, Red

Sindhi, Rathi and Tharparkar has become a

remunerative business. Studies have shown

that dairy enterprise as against crop in rural

areas was on the top with regard to profit in

marginal, small and medium holding.

Dairying and crop production together for

small farmers having irrigated land was more

profitable than crop farming alone. Animal

Husbandry components provide easy cash;

therefore, small farmers prefer it to crop

production.

To begin with and in order to accelerate at

fast pace the daily milk production in the state

the scheme is intended to be implemented

with full zeal throughout the state and create

special milk producing pockets called ‘Dudh

Gram Villages’.

The Dudh Gram Villages shall be carved

out, based on their records of supply of

maximum milk produced in a year and

supplied to the Goa Milk Producers’ Union

and other authorized Agencies. The concept

is to target these groups and attain faster

results in these Villages/Gram Panchayats to

be declared as Dudh Gram in the

implementation of Milk Policy for the state

with the intention of giving special attention

in the policy and programme implementation.

Objectives of The Scheme:—

The main objectives of the scheme are

v To help the farmers to get financial

assistance for the purchase of Cross Bred

Cows, Improved She Buffaloes and Cows

of Indigenous breeds namely Sahiwal,

Gir, Red Sindhi, Rathi and Tharparkar

for his Dairy Unit.

v To promote self employment in the Dairy

Sector.

v To boost the milk production in the state

and to make state self sufficient.

v To strengthen the Dairy Co-operative

movement in the state.

v To ensure sustainability and provide

improved income and livelihood.

v To also encourage the schedule tribe

and schedule caste communities.
