Goat farming offers a promising livelihood opportunity, particularly for farmers in our district. Under the Scheduled Caste Sub Plan (SCSP), our KVK has supported SC women farmers with goats and essential medicines to help boost their subsidiary income. Each beneficiary receives three goats with necessary medicines and vaccines.
Goat farming, a traditional rural activity in semi-arid regions, plays a crucial role in ensuring family sustenance, especially during droughts when fodder is scarce. It requires minimal resources—like family labour and dryland pasture—and provides a regular source of income from milk and meat. Furthermore, goat farming helps preserve cultural traditions while fulfilling the community's nutritional needs.
