the existing Kamdhenu Scheme (Sudharit) Amended 2021 accordingly.

Department of Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Services –––

This Mukhyamantri Sudharit Kamdhenu Scheme is strictly based upon the applicant fulfilling the following conditions:—

Notification

resident of Goa for at least 15 years.

Mukhyamantri Sudharit Kamdhenu Scheme

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 except Introduction.— Mukhyamantri Sudharit Kamdhenu Scheme shall come into force from the date of Notification on Government of Goa Official Gazette and shall replace/supersede1557 Suggestions are welcomed on e-mail: dir–[email protected] OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 15 13TH JULY, 2023 in open paddock surrounding the cattle shed.

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 dair y farmers and are currently engaged in dair y 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 in setting up 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.

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.

objectives of the scheme are:
