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.— 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

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.

ment in the State.

income and livelihood.

scheduled caste communities.
