Commercial goat rearing may be another income generating activity in
Senha and Kisko blocks of the district, because of high forest cover in
these two blocks. Presently the villagers are keeping the goats as
buffer. Commercial goat rearing has not been so prominent because of
large initial capital and lack of scientific service to the villagers.
This project aims at testing the compatibility of the villagers of the
area towards commercial goat rearing, documenting the experience and
suggesting a bankable model for goat rearing suitable for the area.
Objective:
Testing the compatibility of the villagers towards commercial goat
rearing, documenting the experience and suggesting a bankable model for
the area.
Mode of Implementation:
The
Animal Husbandry Department in collaboration with NGOs will implement
the project. The interested farmers for this activity will be selected
from the villages nearer to the forest. Preferably the farmers should be
members of a functioning Self Help Group (SHG) and at least five farmers
should be of one hamlet. The Animal Husbandry Department along with the
farmers will purchase the goats and the farmers under the guidance of
the Animal Husbandry Department will make their sheds. The farmers will
be given the material cost for constructing the shed and after
completion of the shed they will submit the bills to the Animal
Husbandry Department. The Animal Husbandry Department will be
responsible for time-to-time training and follow-up and supplying
medicines and vaccines at the time of need. The experience will be
documented by the DRDA by hiring a good documentation person. A workshop
shall be organized for bankers and other district and block officials
for sharing the experience and giving a bankable model to the scheme.
