CHAPTER 2 APPROACH AND STRATEGIES

C H A P T E R 2 9

2APPROACH AND STRATEGIES

2.1 Role of Animal Husbandry, Dairy Development and Fisheries sectors

2.1.1 Animal Husbandry, Dairy Development

and Fisheries sectors play an impor tant role in

the national economy and in the socio-economic

development of the country. These sectors also

play a significant role in supplementing family

incomes and generating gainful employment in

the rural sector, par ticularly among the landless

labourers, small and marginal farmers and women,

besides providing cheap nutritional food to millions

of people. Livestock are the best insurance against

the vagaries of nature like drought, famine and

other natural calamities.

2.2 National Policy for Farmers

2.2.1 The National Agriculture Policy 2007

focuses on the economic well-being of farmers,

rather than just on production, as socio-

economic well-being is the prime consideration

of any agricultural policy, besides production

and growth. The aim of the policy is, therefore,

to stimulate attitudes and actions, which should

result in assessing agricultural progress in terms

of improvement in the income of farmers’ families,

not only to meet their consumption requirements

but also to enhance their capacity to invest in

farm related activities.

2.2.2 In the livestock sector, major constraints

experienced by farmers relate to breed, feed and

fodder, health care and remunerative prices for

that produce. The policy envisages addressing

these issues through an appropriate strategy.

In the fisheries sector, a dynamic policy for the

management and economic use of EEZ for a variety

of economic activities, including fisheries, will be

evolved and put in place with the assistance of

NFDB.

2.3 Government’s Initiative and Assistance to States

2.3.1 As Agriculture, including Animal Husbandry,

Dairying and Fisheries, is a State subject, the

emphasis of the Depar tment has been on

supplementing effor ts of the State Governments in

the development of these sectors. The Depar tment

has been providing assistance to the State

Governments for the control of animal diseases,

scientific management and upgradation of genetic

resources, increasing availability of nutritious feed

and fodder, sustainable development of processing

and marketing facilities and enhancement of

production and profitability of livestock and

fisheries enterprises.

2.4 Livestock Resources

2.4.1 India has vast resource of livestock and

poultry, which play a vital role in improving the socio-

economic conditions of rural masses. The State-wise

breakup of different species of livestock is given at

Annexure - IV.

The major goals of the National

Policy for Farmers are, inter

alia, to protect and improve

land, water, bio-diversity

and genetic resources

essential for sustained

increase in productivity,

profitability and stability of

major farming systems by

creating an economic stake in

conservation, to strengthen

the bio-security of crops,

farm animals, fish and forest

trees, etc.

C H A P T E R 210

2.5 Employment Generation

2.5.1 Animal Husbandry sector provides large self-employment opportunities. According to National Sample Survey Organization’s latest survey on Employment and Unemployment (July 2004-June 2005 NSS 61st round), 6.7 per cent of the work force was engaged in rural areas in animal husbandry sector as compared to 5.5 per cent in rural and urban areas combined in the country. The proportion of workers in animal husbandry and fisheries sectors together was 7 per cent in rural areas as compared to 5.8 per cent in rural and urban areas combined in the country.

2.6 Value of Output

2.6.1 According to estimates of the Central Statistical Organization (CSO), the value of output from livestock and fisheries sectors together at current prices was about Rs.3,10,891 crore during 2008-09 (Rs.2,61,000 crore for livestock sector and Rs.49,891 crore for fisheries) which is about 26.8 per cent of the value of the output of Rs.11,58,400 crore

from Agriculture & allied Sector.

2.7 Other Contributions

2.7.1 Livestock Sector not only provides essential

proteins and nutritious human diet through milk, eggs,

meat etc., but also plays an important role in utilization

of non-edible agricultural by-products. Livestock also

provides raw material/by-products such as hides and

skins, blood, bone, fat etc. The contribution of milk

alone (Rs.1,78,401 crore) was higher than paddy

(Rs.1,22,987 crore), wheat (Rs.83,414 crore) and

sugarcane (Rs.25,776 crore). The value of output

growth of 5 per cent per annum, meat and poultry achieving a growth of 10 per cent per annum. The targeted growth rate of fisheries is also 6 per cent. The benefit of higher growth should be equitable, benefiting mainly the small and marginal farmers and landless labourers who maintain bulk of the livestock in the country. It should also benefit poorly endowed areas like drought prone, arid and semi-arid areas. The sector should also provide additional employment oppor tunities to the people in rural areas especially women, who manage livestock in the household, thereby empowering women. The strategy for the 11th Plan is based on the following considerations:

(i) There is a need for institutional restructuring of the existing development machinery, both at the national and State level.

(ii) A sustainable and financially viable livestock farming, which will generate wealth and self-employment through entrepreneurship, is the need of the day.

(iii) The successful examples of public-private partnership initiative should be replicated and expanded during the 11th Five Year Plan.

(iv) Initiatives on the pattern of producers’

organizations like ‘Anand’ need to be taken

up in other livestock products, especially, meat

and poultry.

(v) There is a need to provide efficient and effective

decentralized services at the doorstep of

livestock farmers.

(vi) A mechanism for transfer of technological

development to the producers’ should be

instituted.

(vii) There is a need to build a line of credit to meet

the requirement of livestock sector.

2.13.3 The Department has, accordingly, restructured

some of the existing schemes and has also introduced

new schemes in the Eleventh Plan.

2.14 Annual Plan 2008-09 & 2009-10

2.14.1 The Department was allocated Rs.1,000 crore

for the Annual Plan 2008-09, which was revised to

Farms (CCBFs) located at Alamadhi (Tamil Nadu),

Andeshnagar (U.P), Chiplima & Sunabeda (Orissa),

Dhamrod (Gujarat), Hessarghata (Karnataka) and

Suratgarh (Rajasthan). They are producing high

pedigree bull calves of indigenous, crossbred and

exotic breeds of cattle and important buffalo breeds

for distribution to States. The bull calves are produced

from Tharparkar, Red Sindhi, Jersey, Holstein Friesian

and crossbred cattle and from Surti and Murrah

buffaloes. The farms at Andeshnagar and Chiplima

are producing HF x Tharparkar crossbred and Jersey

x Red Sindhi crossbred bulls respectively. During

2008-09, these farms produced 346 bull calves and

trained 2,912 farmers in dairy farm management.

Achievements of the year 2009-10 (till 31st December,

2009) are 315 bull calves and training of 2,093

farmers.

3.2.3 Central Frozen Semen Production and Training Institute, Hessarghata (CFSPTI)

3.2.3.1 This is a premier institute located at

Hessarghata, Karnataka, producing frozen semen of

indigenous, exotic crossbred cattle and Murrah buffalo

bull for use in artificial insemination (AI). The institute

also provides training in frozen semen technology

to technical officers of the State Governments

and acts as a centre for testing the indigenously

manufactured frozen semen and AI equipments. The

institute produced 8.66 lakh doses of frozen semen

and provided training to 277 persons in the field of

C H A P T E R 316

Frozen Semen Technology & Andrology during 2008-

09. During 2009-10 (till 31st December 2009), 6.80

lakh doses of frozen semen were produced and 218

persons were trained.

3.2.4 Central Herd Registration Scheme (CHRS)

3.2.4.1 Central Herd Registration Scheme

is for registration of elite cow and buffalo

breeds of national importance and provides

incentive for rearing of elite cows and male

calves. It plays a vital role in sourcing

indigenous germplasm required for the

National Project for Cattle and Buffalo

Breeding. The scheme has a significant

role in assisting the Department of Animal

Husbandry of States and Union Territories,

Private Sector and Government Undertakings

in procuring elite dairy cows and buffaloes as well as

bulls and progeny of high genetic potential for use in

the development programme.

3.2.4.2 Objectives of the Scheme

(i) Identification and location of superior

germplasm

(ii) Using this data for producing superior

germplasm.

(iii) Preservation of indigenous germplasm.

(iv) Milk recording of Cattle and Buffaloes for

improving dairy farming.

3.2.4.3 Four CHRS Units have been established under

this scheme at Rohtak, Ahmedabad, Ajmer and Ongole.

A total of 92 Milk Recording Centres located in the States

of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi,

Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh are functioning

under these centres for recording the milk yield of

indigenous breeds of Gir, Kankrej, Haryana and Ongole

of Cattle and Murrah, Jaffrabadi, Surti and Mehsana

breeds of buffalo for confirmation of their phenotypic

breed characteristics and milk production level. These

are identified in their breeding tracts and publicity is

made for marketing of registered cows and buffaloes

and their calves. Primary registration of 14,882 and

11,503 cows and buffaloes were done in 2008-09 and

2009-10 (till 31st December 2009) respectively.

3.3 National Project for Cattle & Buffalo Breeding

3.3.1 Genetic improvement in bovines is a long

term activity. Government of India has initiated a

major programme ‘National Project for Cattle and

Buffalo Breeding’ (NPCBB) from October 2000 over

a period of ten years, in two phases each of five

years, with an allocation of Rs. 402 crore for Phase–I.

In order to consolidate gains made during Phase-I,

Phase-II was initiated from Dec. 2006 with an allocation

of Rs. 775.87 crore. The NPCBB envisages genetic up

gradation on priority basis with a focus on development

and conservation of important indigenous breeds.

The project envisages 100 per cent grant-in-aid to

Implementing Agencies.

3.3.10 Testing of bulls used for semen production

3.6.10.1 The Department has prepared a schedule for

the disease testing of bulls for all Sexually Transmitted

Diseases (STDs). Central Disease Diagnostic

Laboratory (CDDL) and Regional Disease Diagnostic

Laboratories (RDDLs) have been given mandate

to test all the breeding bulls and bull mothers of

the semen stations in the central farms, State/

cooperative/Embryo Transfer Technology Laboratory

and private farms. The RDDLs have started testing of

the bulls and bull mothers in most of the States and

infected bulls and bull mothers have been segregated.

The States have been requested to take up ring

vaccination against FMD in a radius of 10 km around

frozen semen bull stations, farms and ETT labs under

the scheme ‘Assistance to States for control of Animal

Diseases (ASCAD)’.

3.3.11 Phase-II of NPCBB

3.3.11.1 Phase-II of the National Project for Cattle and

Buffalo Breeding was initiated in December, 2006 for

a period of five years (2006-07 to 2010-11) with an

allocation of Rs.775.87 crore. Phase-II will provide

self-employment to about 20,000 AI practitioners in

delivery of AI at the farmer’s doorstep. To improve

productivity of bovine population, the proposal aims

to bring 80 per cent breedable females among cattle

and buffalo under organized breeding through artificial

insemination or natural service by high quality bulls.

It also envisages undertaking breed improvement

programme for indigenous cattle and buffaloes so

as to improve the genetic make-up as well as their

availability.

3.3.11.2 A major new component of Phase-II is bull

production programme. India is well known for world

famous Murrah buffaloes. Murrah buffaloes are heavy

milk producers with high fat content in addition to

being efficient feed converters even when fed poor

quality roughages. Murrah is the breed of choice in

various parts of the country as well as abroad in order

to upgrade non-descript population in different states

of India and also to upgrade the locally available low-

producing buffaloes in various countries e.g. Brazil,

Italy, Philippines and Bulgaria. In spite of having best

genetic resources, the productivity of Murrah buffaloes

has not increased as expected mainly because of

C H A P T E R 320

negative selection pressure due to poor acceptability

of AI among buffalo population, availability of poor

quality of sires at semen stations and use of bulls

with unknown genetic potential under natural service.

This situation has left the Murrah population in a state

of genetic stagnation. In order to develop buffalo

population, Murrah bull production programme with

an allocation of Rs.128.28 crore is being taken up

during Phase-II.

3.3.11.3 Major Components of NPCBB Phase-II

(a) Streamlining storage and supply of liquid nitrogen: Infrastructure for bulk transport, bulk storage and supply of liquid nitrogen is being created under the component.

(b) Bull production programme: This is being accomplished through field performance recording programmes by State Implementing Agencies, dairy cooperatives, breeders associations and other agencies. Under the component, identification and tagging of superior germplasm and rearing of male calves suitable for breeding upto breeding age in case of Murrah buffaloes and 1 year in case of cattle is being done. Incentive to farmers is also admissible under the component. Production of quality exotic and crossbred bulls from impor ted embryos and semen is also being taken up under the component.

(c) Introduction of quality bulls with high genetic merit: This is being implemented through reorientation and intensification of Progeny Testing Programmes (PTP) established during Phase-I, establishment of PTP programmes in new areas/ milk pockets, setting up of Open Nucleus Breeding System (ONBS) and strengthening of

bull mother farms.

(d) Procurement of bulls for natural service: Distribution quality bulls for natural service in

the areas, which are not under AI coverage is

being taken up under this component. Some of

the owners of indigenous breeds in the breeding

tract do not accept AI for breeding their animals

and resort to natural mating. Quality breeding

bulls are being provided to these breeders to

avoid degeneration of their stock.

(e) Quality control of goods and services at sperm stations, semen banks and training institutions: This is being implemented

through strengthening of sperm stations,

relocation of existing semen stations and

establishment of computer network with

Management Information System (MIS) for

close monitoring.

(f) Extension of private mobile AI practice for door-step delivery: Under the component

private mobile AI practice for door-step delivery

is being further extended by introduction

of new private AI workers. This is being

accomplished by basic training in AI, support

for acquisition of equipments, tapering grants

during initial practice period and provision for

regular delivery of frozen semen and liquid

nitrogen at cost.

Artificial Insemination at Farmers’ Doorstep

C H A P T E R 3 21

(g) Conversion of stationary AI centres

into mobile centres: Under the component

stationary AI centres are being conver ted

into mobile ones. Funds are being made

available for procurement of por table cryo-

containers, AI kits, and supply of quality

breeding inputs and authorizing private

practice for door step delivery of AI in

order to provide more effective and timely

services to the farmers.

3.3.11.4ExpectedProjectbenefits

(i) Increased and improved coverage of breedable

females. About 80 per cent of the total adult

females among cattle and buffaloes will be

brought under organized breeding activity (AI

or natural service).

(ii) The project will induct and provide self-

employment to about 20,000 private AI

practitioners.

(iii) Large scale replacement (20 million)

of low producing nondescript cattle

and buffaloes by improved animals.

(iv) About 80,000 pedigreed bulls for natural

service are proposed to be inducted in

areas out of reach of the AI.

(v) Increased rural self-employment

opportunities and increased farm

income. The benefits of the project will

flow directly to the resource-poor among rural

household.

(vi) A modern AI network and delivery of AI

services at farmers’ doorstep.

(vii) Establishment of Central Monitoring Cell for

certification of semen, semen stations and AI bulls.

(viii) Conservation and development of several

indigenous cattle and buffalo breeds.

3.4 Feed and Fodder Development

3.4.1 Adequate availability of feed and fodder to

livestock is vital for increasing the productivity and

also to sustaining on going genetic improvement

initiatives. Optimum and efficient utilization of feed and

fodder resources holds key for successful commercial

livestock production.

3.4.2 The area cultivated under fodder is about

4.6% of the total cultivable area. Exclusive pastures

and grasslands are widespread and are grazed by

the domestic animals. Total area under permanent

pastures and grasslands is about 12.4 million hectare

(NABCONS). An area of 15.6 million hq is classified as

wasteland and is also available for grazing. However

majority of these lands have either been degraded

or encroached upon restricting their availability for

livestock grazing

3.4.3 Diverse uses of agriculture crop residues,

frequent droughts and floods widened the gap

between demand and supply of feed and fodder. As

Fodder Cutting for Livestock

C H A P T E R 322

per the study conducted by NABCONS in 2007, a large

gap exists between demand and supply of Feed and

Fodder (FF) in the country:

(b) Grassland Development, including Grass Reserves: Assistance is given to

Government departments as well as NGOs/

village panchayats for improvement of

degraded grasslands, common property

resources, grasslands, forest areas, gochar

lands and wastelands by introducing high

yielding varieties of grasses and legumes,

improvement of soil conditions by treatment,

development of irrigation system etc for

getting higher green fodder yield. Funding

is in the form of 100per cent Central grant.

During the year (till 31st December 2009), Rs.

430.05 lakh have been provided to the State

Governments of Gujarat (Rs. 224.00 lakh),

Sikkim (Rs. 50.00 lakh), Maharashtra ( Rs.

12.00 lakh), Kerala (Rs. 51.70 lakh), Uttar

Pradesh(Rs.10.10 lakh) and Andhra Pradesh

(Rs. 82.25 lakh) for development of 1,065

hectare of grasslands/gochar lands.

(c ) Fodder Seed Production and Distribution

Programme: Assistance is given to the State

Governments for augmenting production of

high yielding fodder varieties seeds through

registered growers on buy back arrangement

of fodder seeds from farmers. State Govt.

may involve SIA/Cooperatives/NGOs. Funding

pattern of the scheme is 75:25 (Central:

State/implementing agency). During 2009-10

(till 31st December 2009), Rs.196.26 lakh

have been provided to the State Governments

of Rajasthan, Orissa and Kerala for production

of 6,360 quintals of fodder seeds.

(d) Biotechnology Research Projects:

Assistance is given to the Research

Institutes/State Governments for production

3.6 Central Fodder Development Organization

3.6.1 Seven Regional Stations for Forage

Production & Demonstration located in

different agro-climatic zones of the country

and the Central Fodder Seed Production

Farm, Hessarghatta, Bangalore are assisted

under this scheme for the purpose of production

and propagation of good quality seeds of fooder/

grass/legumes. Besides this, a Central Minikit

Testing Programme on Fodder Crops is being

funded under this scheme. The details are as

under:

(a) Regional Stations for Forage Production & Demonstration and Central Fodder Seed Production Farm, Hessarghatta

3.6.2 For production and propagation of cer tified

seeds of high yielding varieties of fodder crops

and pasture grasses/legumes, the Government

has established 7 Regional Stations at Mamidipally,

Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh), Gandhinagar

(Gujarat), Hisar (Haryana), Suratgarh (Rajasthan),

Sahema (Jammu & Kashmir), Alamadhi (Tamil

Nadu), Kalyani (West Bengal) and one Central

Fodder Seed Production Farm, Hessarghatta.

These stations are catering to requirement of

fodder seeds of the farmers of different agro-

climatic regions. They carry out extension activities

through field demonstrations and farmers’ fairs /

field days. During the year (up to December’09) ,

these stations have produced 235 tonnes of fodder

seeds, conducted 8137 demonstrations, organized

114 training programmes and 129 farmers’ fairs/

field days.

India, with poultry population

of 489 million (as per

Livestock Census 2003) and

egg production of 55.6 billion

number in 2008-09, ranks

among top three countries

in egg production. Export of

poultry & poultry products

increased from nearly Rs.11

crore in 1993-94 to about

Rs.422 crore in 2008-09.

Azola Cultivation at RSFPD, Hissar

(b) Central Minikit Testing Programme on Fodder Crops

3.6.3 This scheme aims at making farmers aware

through field demonstrations about latest high

yielding varieties of fodder crops and improved

agronomic package of practices to increase

production of green fodder. Cer tified seeds of high

yielding fodder crops/grasses/legumes produced at

Regional Stations and Central Farm, Hessarghatta,

Milk Federations or other Govt. fodder seed

producing agencies are distributed. Kits are allotted

for onward distribution to the farmers free of cost.

During the year 2009-10, total 9.23 lakh fodder

seed Minikits have been allotted to the states.

3.6.4 Other Initiatives taken up by the Department for improving feed and fodder situation:

i. ICAR has been requested to strengthen

extension programme, especially training

programme for popularization of good

fodder varieties etc, through Krishi Vigyan

Kendras (KVKs) established by ICAR in the

districts.

C H A P T E R 324

ii. Feeding balanced ration to livestock

is the key to get optimum production.

Emphasis is given on (from Kharif

2009-10) improving fodder quality by

combining legumes with non-legumes

under Central Minikit Testing Programme

of the Depar tment.

iii. Generally unspecified mineral mixture is

mixed up with manufactured concentrate

feeds and fed to the livestock without

considering real deficiencies in a particular

area/region.DAHD has circulated the

mineral deficiency chart developed by ICAR

institute in Bangalore,among all the State

Animal Husbandry Directors for taking up

mineral mixture production as per specified

deficiency.

iv. State Govts. have been requested to take up

fodder trees cultivation on degraded /waste

lands to improve green fodder availability.

v. The depar tment is in the process of

expanding the scope of the ongoing Centrally

Sponsored Feed and Fodder Development

Scheme to include various technology

interventions for efficient utilization of feed

and fodder. These include establishment

of silage making units, introduction of

chaff cutters, establishment of by-pass

protein units, training on Azolla cultivation

and establishment of Area Specific Mineral

Mixture Plants.

vi. To check the manufacture and sale of

spurious/low grade Cattle Feed and to ensure

availability of good quality feed for feeding

of Dairy Cattle and Buffaloes, Department

is in the process of finalizing Cattle Feed

(Regulation of Manufacture and Sale) 2009

Order.

3.7 Development of Poultry

3.7.1 Poultry Development is a household activity

in India. However, scientific poultry production in

India gained momentum during the last four decades

due to concerted effor ts of the Government of

India through policies, institutions and focused

research and the initiatives taken by the private

sector. The poultry sector has emerged from

entirely unorganized farming practices to the

commercial production system with state-of-the-art

technological interventions. Poultry sector, besides

providing direct or indirect employment to people, is

also a potent tool for subsidiary income generation

for many landless and marginal farmers and also

provides nutritional security especially to the rural

poor.

3.8 Central Poultry Development Organizations

3.8.1 The CPDOs located at four regions

(Chandigarh, Bhubaneswar, Mumbai and

Hessarghatta) have been playing a pivotal role in the

implementation of the policies of the Government

with respect to poultry. The mandate of these

organizations has specially been reoriented to

focus on improved indigenous birds, which lay on

an average 180-200 eggs per annum and have

vastly improved feed conversion ratio in terms of

feed consumption and weight gain. In these CPDOs,

training is also impar ted to the farmers to upgrade

their technical skills. Besides, CPDO, Hessarghatta,

also trains in-service personnel from within the

country as well as overseas. Diversification with

species other than chicken like ducks, turkey,

guinea fowl and Japanese quail is also under taken.

C H A P T E R 3 25

The Central Poultry Performance Testing Center

(CPPTC), Gurgaon, is entrusted with responsibility

of testing the performance of layer and broiler

varieties. The center gives valuable information

relating to different genetic stock available in the

country.

3.9. Poultry Venture Capital Fund

3.9.1 The Central Sector Scheme ‘Poultry Venture

Capital Fund’ is being implemented currently as

through exploratory pilot component of ‘Poultry

Estates’ wherein two estates are proposed for

establishment at this stage. It is meant primarily for

educated, unemployed youth and small farmers with

some margin money for making a profitable venture

out of various poultry related activities in a scientific

and bio-secure cluster approach.

3.11 Conservation of Threatened Breeds of Livestock

3.11.1 11th Plan allocation has been

enhanced from Rs.16.00 crore to Rs.45.00

crore. Major modifications made in the

revised scheme are:

(i) Breeds of livestock showing declining

trend in population and with population

around 10,000 will be covered.

(ii) Poultry and duck breeds with population

of 1,000 would also be covered.

C H A P T E R 3 27

Genetic Resources (SLCAnGRs) have been constituted

in the States of West Bengal, Himachal Pradesh,

Punjab, Gujarat, Mizoram, Madhya Pradesh and Orissa

to guide conservation of animal genetic resources in

these States. Other States are also being reminded to

constitute SLCAnGR so that there is State level review of

status of Animal Genetic Resources.

3.12 Central Sheep Breeding Farm, Hissar (Haryana)

3.12.1 The farm was established during the Fourth Five

Year Plan with the objective of producing acclimatized

exotic rams for distribution to various State sheep

farms and training personnel in mechanical sheep

shearing. In course of time and in accordance with

recommendation of experts, the breeding programme

of the farm was changed to produce crossbred rams

(Nali X Rambouilett and Sonad X Corriedale) as well

as Beetal goats.

3.12.2 During 2009-10 (till 31st December 2009),

the farm supplied 679 rams and 91 bucks. A total

of 101 farmers were trained in mechanical sheep

shearing and sheep management. The vaccination

programme for control of Brucellosis and pasture

management programme for control of Haemonchus

infestation have yielded encouraging results in

containing mortality and improving general health of

the animals.

3.13 Integrated Development of Small Ruminants and Rabbits

3.13.1 This CSS was approved in the first for tnight

of April, 2009 for implementation in the 11th Plan

with an outlay of Rs. 134.83 crore. The budget

allocation for the financial year 2009-10 is Rs.18.33

crore. The scheme envisages setting up 54 intensive

small ruminants development clusters with venture

capital through NABARD as well as infrastructure

development and institutional restructuring. The

Scheme envisages constitution of a State Level

Sanctioning & Monitoring Committee (SLMC) by

each participating State to monitor progress of the

scheme and formulate operational plan and policy

with respect to implementation of the programme in

the State. SLMCs’ have been constituted in the States

of Kerala and Maharashtra. Other states are in the

process of constituting SLMCs and the progress is

being monitored in the Department.

3.14 Establishment/Modernization of Rural Slaughterhouses

3.14.1 This CSS is being implemented in Andhra

Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Meghalaya through

NABARD. The main objectives are: to establish a

new system of slaughter of livestock; to establish

slaughterhouses, which can be operated by

entrepreneurs is rural and semi urban

areas having population less that 50,000; to

encourage value addition to products in rural

areas so that livestock owners get better

income with proper utilization of by-products;

to ensure hygiene in meat production from

slaughterhouses to consumers’ table by

establishing network of cold chains and

distribution on commercial basis; and to

minimize clandestine slaughter and provide

pollution free environment.

3.15 Livestock Health

3.15.1 With the improvement in the quality of livestock

through launching of extensive cross breeding

programmes, the susceptibility of these livestock

to various diseases including exotic diseases has

increased. In order to reduce morbidity and mortality,

efforts are being made by the State/Union Territory

Governments to provide better health care through

Polyclinics / Veterinary Hospitals / Dispensaries / First-Aid Centers including Mobile Veterinary Dispensaries. The State-wise details of veterinary institutions are given at Annexure – XI. In order to provide referral services over and above the existing disease diagnostic laboratories in the States, one Central and five Regional Disease Diagnostic Laboratories are also functioning. Vaccines are produced in the country at 27 veterinary vaccine production units. Of these, 21 are in the public sector and 6 in private sector.

3.15.2 While efforts are made to ensure better livestock health, efforts are also made to prevent ingress of diseases from outside the country, and to maintain standards of veterinary drugs and formulations. At present, the Drugs Controller of India regulates the quality of veterinary drugs and biologicals in consultation

with this Department. The following schemes

are implemented for Livestock Health.

(a) Animal Quarantine and CertificationService

3.16.1 The objective of this service is to prevent

ingress of livestock diseases into India by

regulating the impor t of livestock and livestock

related products, and providing expor t cer tification

of international standard for livestock and livestock

products expor ted from India. The four existing

Quarantine Stations (at New Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai

and Kolkata) are operating smoothly from their own

premises, which include a small laboratory. This

service has been fur ther strengthened through

setting up of two additional Animal Quarantine

Stations at Hyderabad and Bangalore. The

impor t of Grand Parent (GP) stock of poultry,

pets, laboratory animals and livestock products

has already commenced through Hyderabad and

Bangalore airpor ts. Land for establishment of

Quarantine Stations at Hyderabad and Bangalore

has been acquired. The scheme helped to prevent

the entry of exotic diseases like Mad-cow disease

3.17 Livestock Health & Disease Control

3.17.1 This is being implemented throughout the

country with macro-management approach by

amalgamating all the on-going Plan schemes with

some modifications since 2003-04. The scheme has

the following components:

(a) Assistance to States for Control of Animal

Diseases (ASCAD)

(b) National Project on Rinderpest Eradication

(NPRE)

(c) Professional Efficiency Development (PED)

(d) Foot & Mouth Disease Control Programme

(FMD-CP) – New component

(a) Assistance to States for Control of Animal Diseases (ASCAD)

3.17.2 Under this component, assistance is provided

to State/Union Territory Governments for control of

economically important diseases of livestock and

poultry by way of immunization, strengthening

of existing State Veterinary Biological Production

Units, strengthening of existing Disease Diagnostic

Laboratories and in-service training to Veterinarians

and Para-veterinarians. Under this programme,

during 2007-08 and 2008-09 about 248 and

263 million vaccinations were carried out against

the targets of 150 and 175 million respectively.

During 2009-10, about 240 million vaccinations are

expected to be carried out against the target of 180

million. The programme also envisages collection &

compilation of information on the incidence of various

livestock and poultry diseases from States and

Union Territories. This information is disseminated

in the form of Monthly Animal Disease Surveillance

Bulletin to all the States and Union Territories and to

international organizations like Office International

Des Epizooties (OIE), Animal Production and Health

Commission for Asia and Pacific (APHCA), etc.

Incidence of diseases of Livestock and Poultry in

India during the year 2008 is at Annexure-XIII.

(b) Professional Efficiency Development(PED)

3.17.3 The objective is to regulate veterinary

practices and to maintain the register of the

veterinary practitioners. The programme envisages

establishment of Veterinary Council of India at Centre

and State Veterinary Councils at State level in those

States/Union Territories which have adopted the

Indian Veterinary Council Act, 1984.

3.17.4 Veterinary Council of India is imparting training

on latest technical knowledge by way of Continuing

C H A P T E R 330

Veterinary Education (CVE). During 2008-09, against

the target of 20 batches (each batch comprising of

20 veterinarians), 25 batches were trained under

CVE programme. During 2009-10, about 20 batches

of Veterinarians are expected to be trained.

(c ) National Project on Rinderpest Eradication (NPRE)

3.17.5 Rinderpest is a highly infectious viral

disease (Morbilli virus infection) of cloven-

hoofed animals inflicting heavy mor tality in bovine

population as well as in small ruminants. The

present National Project on Rinderpest Eradication

(NPRE) programme is being implemented in all

the States and Union Territories with 100 per cent

Central assistance.

3.17.6 The main objective of the scheme is to strengthen

the veterinary services for maintaining

required vigil to sustain the country’s freedom

from Rinderpest & CBPP infection secured

in May, 2006 and May, 2007 respectively.

3.17.7 Physical surveillance through village,

stock route & institutional searches to

detect any re-occurrence of Rinderpest

and Contagious Bovine Pleuro-pneumonia

(CBPP) is being under taken throughout

the country to maintain India’s freedom

status from these diseases. This physical

surveillance is done with the help of the staff of

Animal Husbandry Depar tment of the States &

Union Territories to maintain freedom status.

3.17.8 During 2008-09, against the targets of

1,50,000 villages, 15,000 stock routes and 75,000

institutional searches, about 3,50,962, 1,27,706

and 77,148 villages, stock routes and institutions

respectively were checked. During 2009-10, against

the same targets, about 2,41,027 villages, 1,00,440

stock routes and 71,257 institutions have been

checked.

(d) Foot & Mouth Disease Control Programme (FMD-CP)

3.17.9 This is being implemented in 54 selected

districts to control the Foot and Mouth Disease with

100 per cent funding, which includes the cost of

vaccine and supporting expenses. However, the State

Governments are providing manpower, infrastructure

and logistic support.

3.17.10 During the period from 2003-04 to 2008-

09, about 2,296.52 lakh vaccinations were carried

out. During 2009-10, against the target of 350

lakh vaccinations, about 370 lakh vaccinations are

expected to be carried out.

3.18.3 The following measures have been taken by

the Government of India for control and containment

of Avian Influenza outbreaks as well as to prevent

its ingress into the country.

(i) Culling of entire poultry population in the

affected zone of 0-3 Kms.

(ii) Continuous strengthening of preparedness

to tackle any future eventuality in terms

of upgradation of laboratories, training of

manpower, stockpiling of materials for control

and containment etc.

(iii) Training of veterinary personnel in

preparedness, control and containment is

continuing. About 80% veterinary workforce in

the country has been trained to handle control

and containment operations.

(iv) Reserves of essential material for control

operations have been developed and are

being expanded further.

(v) Sensitization of general public on Avian

Influenza through Information, Education and

Communication (IEC) campaigns.

C H A P T E R 332

(vi) Transparent approach towards reporting not

only outbreaks but also information of unusual

sickness/ mortality in poultry and results of

laboratory diagnosis.

(vii) All the State Governments have been alerted

to be vigilant about outbreak of the disease.

(viii) Imports of poultry and poultry products have

been banned completely from HPAI positive

countries.

(ix) Border check posts with neighboring countries

have been strengthened.

(x) Guidelines issued to States for guidance of

poultry farmers.

3.19 Animal Husbandry Statistics

3.19.1 The production of major livestock products

(MLP) like milk, eggs, meat & wool are estimated

on the basis of annual sample surveys conducted

under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme ‘Integrated

Sample Survey’. All the States and Union Territories

are implementing the Scheme. The annual Integrated

Sample Surveys for the estimation of MLP are

conducted from March to February. The entire

period of one year is divided into three Seasons of

4 months each. These Seasons are: Summer (March

to June), Monsoon (July to October) and Winter

(November to February). This helps in building up

progressive estimates of aggregate and also takes

care of seasonality, if any, available in the characters

under study. The sampling design is a stratified

three stage design with district as stratum. The first

stage units (FSUs) are villages, second stage units

(SSUs) are households and third stage units (TSUs)

are animals. Under the Integrated Sample Survey

Scheme, central assistance to the tune of 50 per

cent and 100 per cent of the expenditure on Salary

for the entitled posts is provided to the States and

the UTs respectively.

3.19.2 The ‘Technical Committee of Direction for

Improvement of Animal Husbandry and Dairying

Statistics (TCD)’ guides the Depar tment in the

conduct of the scheme. Directors of Animal

Husbandry/Sheep Husbandry of all the States/UTs,

Directors of Directorate of Economics & Statistics

(E&S) of four selected States, representatives of

CSO & NSSO, Ministry of Statistics & Programme

Implementation, representative of Directorate of

Economics & Statistics (E&S), Ministry of Agriculture,

representative from Ministry of Rural Development

and representatives from other independent

agencies such as National Dairy Development Board

(NDDB), DMI, IASRI and Indian Statistical Institute

are the members of the Committee. Director

General, Central Statistical Organization, Ministry

of Statistics & Programme Implementation is the

Chairman. States/UTs compile season wise as well

as annual estimates of MLP. The annual estimates

are uploaded on the website of the Depar tment and

published in the biennial ‘Basic Animal Husbandry

Statistics’ of the Depar tment. The latest issue of

the publication is for the year 2008.

3.19.3 Refresher training Course in ISS

methodologies had started during 2005-06. Since

then, training has been held in all the States and UTs

except Jammu & Kashmir, Jharkhand, Uttarakhand,

Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Puducherry. The response

was very good and States sent their feedback that

such training should be repeated once at least in

three years period.

3.19.4 During 2009-10, Depar tment approved the

study proposal on ‘Estimation of Production and

Availability of Oilcake/Meal and Bran for Livestock

Feed in India’ submitted by Centre of Economic

and Social Research, Delhi for a period of nine

months.

C H A P T E R 3 33

3.19.5 The Expenditure Finance Committee for

11th Plan for ISS scheme decided to revise the

methodology for estimation of Major Livestock

Products and to fur ther examine the scope of

additional components which are more useful

for making the policy. The Depar tment of Animal

Husbandry, Dairying & Fisheries has constituted

a Committee for revision of methodology

under the Chairmanship of Animal Husbandry

Commissioner.

3.20 Livestock Census

3.20.1 The first Livestock Census was conducted

during 1919-20 and since then it is being

conducted quinquennilly by all States/UTs in India.

The data collected for the 18th Livestock Census

in the series with 15/10/2007 as the date of

reference is presently being processed. The

Census is conducted with 100 per cent assistance.

It provides disaggregated information on poultry,

animal operated agricultural implements and

machinery, and fishery statistics.

3.20.2 In the present Census, greater emphasis has

been given on collection of information on breed-

wise data in respect of all States/UTs. The results

of 18th Livestock Census would be brought out in

two phases viz. All India Repor t (Provisional) based

on Quick Tabulation Plan, derived from Village level

totals and All India Repor t (Final results) based on

Detailed tabulation Plan which would be derived

from computerised household data. National

Informatics Centre of the Depar tment is processing

the data received from States/UTs. All India Repor t

(Provisional) is expected to be released by the end

of April, 2010 and All India Repor t (Final Results)

in the course of 2010.

3.20.3 Out of budgetary allocation of Rs.23.11

crore for 2009-10, an amount of Rs.20.41 crore

has been released up to December, 2009 to the

States/UTs. In addition, an amount of Rs.9.00 lakh

has been released to NIC for meeting the expenses

on computerization.

3.21 Livestock Insurance

3.21.1 For promotion of the livestock sector, it is

impor tant that along with providing more effective

measures for disease control and improvement of

genetic quality of animals, a mechanism of assured

protection to the farmers and cattle rearers is

required against eventual losses of such animals. In

this direction, the Government of India introduced

a CSS ‘Livestock Insurance’ on a pilot basis during

2005-06 & 2006-07 in 100 selected districts of the

country. The scheme continued during 2007-08

also. A full fledged scheme ‘Livestock Insurance’

was approved on 20.11.2008 in 100 newly selected

districts on regular basis. The scheme covers 300

selected districts from 10.12.2009.

3.21.2 This CSS being implemented in all the States

has twin objectives: providing protection mechanism

to the farmers & cattle rearers against any eventual

loss of their animals due to death; and to demonstrate

the benefit of the insurance of livestock. The scheme

benefits the farmers (large/small/ marginal) and

cattle rearers having indigenous/crossbred milch

cattle and buffaloes. Benefit of subsidy is restricted

to two animals per beneficiary per household. The

funds under the scheme are utilized for payment

of premium subsidy, honorarium to veterinary

practitioners and publicity campaign for creation of

awareness. 50 per cent of the premium of insurance

is paid by the beneficiary and the remaining 50

per cent is paid by the Government of India. The

C H A P T E R 334

scheme is implemented through the State Livestock

Development Boards. Where no such board exists,

the scheme is being implemented through the State

Directorate of Animal Husbandry.

3.21.3 The list of districts covered under this scheme

is at Annexure-XIV. An amount of Rs.23.28 crore

has been released to States during 2009-10 (up to

December, 2009).

CHAPTER 4

DAIRY DEVELOPMENT

C H A P T E R 4 37

4 DAIRY DEVELOPMENT

4.1 The Indian Dairy sector acquired substantial

growth momentum from 9th Plan onwards, achieving

an annual output of 108.5 million tonnes of milk

during 2008-09. This has not only placed the

country on top in the world, but also represents

sustained growth in the availability of milk and

milk products for the burgeoning population of

the country. Dairying has become an impor tant

secondary source of income for millions of rural

families and has assumed the most impor tant role

in providing employment and income generating

oppor tunities. The per capita availability of milk

has reached at a level of 258 grams per day in the

year 2008-09, but it is still lower than the world

average of 265 grams per day. Government of

India is making effor ts to increase the productivity

of milch animals and thus increase the per capita

availability of milk. Milk production and marketing

system in India is unique. Most of the milk is

produced by small, marginal farmers and landless

labourers who are grouped into cooperatives at the

village level. To provide them a steady market and

a remunerative price for the milk produced, about

13.90 million farmers have been brought under the

ambit of 1,33,349 village level dairy cooperative

societies in the country as a par t of Operation

Flood Programme.

4.2 The effor ts of the Department in the dairy

sector are concentrated on promotion of dairy

activities mainly in non-operation flood areas with

emphasis on building up cooperative infrastructure,

revitalization of sick dairy cooperative federations

and creation of infrastructure in the States for

production of quality milk and milk products. The

India is the highest milk

producer in the world

recording an average annual

growth rate of 4.3 per cent

since 2004-05.

Department implement four schemes in the dairy

sector including a new central sector scheme

‘Dairy Venture Capital Fund’. The National Dairy

Development Board (NDDB) continues its activities

for the overall development of Dairy Sector in

Operation Flood areas.

4.3 Intensive Dairy Development Programme (IDDP)

4.3.1 The scheme ‘Intensive Dairy Development

Programme (IDDP)’ in Non-Operation Flood, Hilly

and Backward Areas’ was launched in 1993-94 on

100 per cent grant-in-aid basis. The main objectives

of the scheme are:

= Development of milch cattle.

= Increasing milk production by providing

technical input services.

= Procurement, processing and marketing of

milk in a cost effective manner.

= Ensure remunerative prices to the milk

producers.

= Generate additional employment

opportunities.

= Improve social, nutritional and economic

status of residents of comparatively more

disadvantaged areas.

4.3.2 The scheme was modified in March, 2005 and

was named ‘Intensive Dairy Development Programme

(IDDP)’. It is presently being implemented in hilly and

backward areas and also in districts, which received

less than Rs.50.00 lakh for dairy development under

Operation Flood programme.

C H A P T E R 438

4.3.3 The funds under the revised scheme are

released directly to the implementing agencies

(State Milk Federations/Unions).

4.3.4 Since inception of the scheme, 86 projects

have been approved. Out of these, 47 projects

are under implementation and 39 have been

completed. 207 districts were covered in 25 States

and a UT with a total outlay of Rs.501.84 crore till

31st December 2009, including ‘Special Livestock

Sector and Fisheries Package for the Suicide

Prone Districts in the States of Andhra Pradesh,

Maharashtra, Karnataka and Kerala’. These projects

have benefited about 18.98 lakh farmers in 27,552

villages in various States procuring over 21.02 lakh

kgs of milk per day and marketing milk of about

17.42 lakh litres per day. Milk chilling capacity of

19.45 lakh litres per day and processing capacity

of 24.51 lakh litres per day has been created under

this scheme.

4.4 Strengthening Infrastructure for Quality & Clean Milk Production

4.4.1 With increase in milk production, quality

standards prevalent today in milk production,

milk collection and processing need improvement.

The microbiological quality of milk is poor

due to lack of knowledge about clean milk

production and lack of post milking chilling

facilities in the villages. To compete in

international market for expor t of milk and

milk products, it has become necessary to

produce the dairy products of international

standards.

4.4.2 The Depar tment introduced the

scheme ‘Strengthening infrastructure for

Quality & Clean Milk Production’ during

the 10th Plan (2004-05). The scheme is being

continued during 11th Plan as merged (in 2005-

06) with the ‘Intensive Dairy Development

Programme’. The scheme has the main objective

of improving the quality of raw milk produced

at the village level in the country. It is being

implemented through the State Government

by District Cooperative Milk Union/State Level

Milk Federation. Under the scheme, there is a

provision for training of farmers on good milking

practices. The scheme is being implemented

on 100 per cent grant in aid basis to the State

Governments/Union Territories for components

viz. training of farmer members, detergents,

stainless steel utensils, strengthening of

existing laboratory facilities, adulteration test

kit, disinfectants, etc. The pattern of funding

for setting up of milk chilling facilities at village

level in the form of bulk milk coolers is in the

ratio of 75:25 between Government of India

and respective dairy cooperative society/union.

Evaluation and impact study of the scheme has

been conducted by an independent agency and

final repor t has been submitted. Based on the

outcome of the study, the necessary revision/

modification will be carried out.

4.4.3 Since inception, the Department has approved

137 projects spread over 21 States and one UT at a

total cost of Rs. 213.12 crore with central share

of Rs.173.80 crore till 31.12.2009. An amount of

Infrastructure for Quality and Clean Milk Production

C H A P T E R 4 39

Rs.15.56 crore has been released during

the year 2009-10 (till 31st December

2009) for implementation of approved

projects. 5.30 lakh farmer members have

been trained and 1,439 Bulk Milk Coolers

(BMCs) with a total chilling capacity of

25.60 lakh litres have been installed and

1,011 existing laboratories have been

strengthened.

4.5 Assistance to Cooperatives

4.5.1 This scheme star ted during 1999-2000,

aims at revitalizing the sick dairy cooperative

unions at the district level and cooperative

federations at the State level. The rehabilitation

plan is prepared by National Dairy Development

Board (NDDB) in consultation with the concerned

State Dairy Federation/District Milk Union. Each

rehabilitation plan is to be implemented within

a period of seven years from the date of its

approval.

4.5.2 Since inception, the Depar tment has

approved 34 rehabilitation proposals of Milk

4.6.4 The evaluation and impact study of the

scheme has been conducted by an independent

agency and final report has been submitted. Based

on the outcome of the study, the necessary revision/

modifications will be carried out.

4.7 DeficitMonsoonanditsImpactonDairying

4.7.1 The impact of deficit monsoon on livestock

sector will be manifested in many forms, such as: scarcity

of crop residues and other feed ingredients because of

reduced crop production and increasing crop failure;

decline in reproductive efficiency; increase incidences

of animal diseases particularly viral and protozoan in animals in milk and decline in milk production.

4.7.2 As per a study conducted by National Institute of Animal Nutrition and Physiology in 2005, the deficit with regard to green fodder, dry fodder and concentrate was 11 per cent, 28 per cent and 35 per cent respectively. Drought like situation has further aggravated this deficiency.

4.7.3 As quality green fodder was not available, during the monsoon season farmers have met requirement of roughages from dry fodder from the

4.6.3 The following components are eligible for

financial assistance under the scheme:

C H A P T E R 4 41

available reserves of earlier crops. Thus the dry

fodder in required quantity will not be available with

the farmers from January –April 2010 or till wheat is

harvested.

4.7.4 Reproductive efficiency among breedable bovines decline substantially due to deficiency of green fodder and quality concentrates. Animals do not come into heat at the right time (i.e. within 90 to 100 days after calving) and dry period increases significantly. Some times animal come into heat but do not conceive because of anovulatory heat during stress period. The decline in milk production and reproductive efficiency will be the highest in crossbred cattle followed by buffaloes. If dry period is increased by one month the total milk production in the country will decline by 11.25 Million Tonnes (As 75 million animals are in milk).

4.7.5 Following steps have been taken to augment the availability of liquid milk and stabilize the prices of milk and milk products (in the domestic market in view of drought situation in the country):

Export incentive given to milk fat (butter, butter oil & others) under VKGUY have been withdrawn for milk and milk products.

On request of this Department, Ministry of Commerce has withdrawn benefits under VKGUY for export of buffalo meat and has reduced the benefits under VKGUY for the export of oil cake/meal.

Issued Sanitary Import Permit (SIP) for importing 23,493.55 MT of butter oil since January 2009. Till December 2009, about 14,000 MT of butter oil has landed in the country.

On recommendation of this Department, the Department of Revenue has reduced custom duty on Anhydrous Milk Fat (AMF) to 30 per cent as applicable in the case of butter/ butter oil.

The Ministry of Commerce has issued

permission for import of 10,000 MT Skimmed Milk Powder (SMP) under Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) of 5per cent for 2009-10 and has agreed ‘In Principle’ on the proposal for import of 10,000 MT for 2010-11.

Against a target of 6.00 lakh Minikits for 2009-10, total 9,23,155 Minikits of improved fodder varieties have been distributed to supplement the efforts of States to increase fodder production and its availability to the livestock.

Milk Federations have been advised to have regular interaction among themselves and also with the Private Dairies to manage the shortage of milk fat & SMP.

NABARD and Commercial Banks/Co-operative Banks implementing ‘Dairy Venture Capital Fund’ scheme have been advised to expedite approvals of dairying proposals as dairying is a major subsidiary occupation in the country and the best alternative during drought conditions.

In order to reduce the burden on dairy farmers, Honb’le Agriculture Minister has requested Honb’le Finance Minister for exemption of excise duty, cess & Value Added Tax (VAT) from molasses and also to impose 25per cent export duty on de-oiled cake, oilmeal/cake to reduce the price of cattle feed.

Request has been made to the Ministry of Commerce to remove export incentive from casein.

4.7.6 Development & Conservation of Indigenous Breeds in the Light of Global Warming

4.7.6.1 The cattle and buffalo genetic resources of India are represented by 30 indigenous breeds of cattle including Rathi, Gir, Kankrej, Tharparkar, Sahiwal, Deoni, Hallikar, Khillar Hariana etc. and 10 breeds of buffaloes including Murrah, Jaffarabadi, Mehsani, Surti etc. Indigenous animals are sturdy, endowed

C H A P T E R 442

with quality of heat tolerance, resistance to diseases and have ability to thrive under extreme nutritional stress. The negative impact of Global Warming/climate change on total milk production for India has been estimated at about 1.60 million tonnes annually in 2020 ((National Institute of Animal Nutrition & Physiology 2005). The decline in milk production and reproductive efficiency will be the highest in crossbred cattle. Global warming is likely to increase incidences of animal diseases particularly viral and protozoan diseases in crossbred animals. Therefore, there is a need to take programmes for development and conservation of indigenous breeds.

4.7.6.2 Considering the importance of indigenous breeds in the national economy, Government has undertaken the following steps for their development and conservation:

(i) The Department is implementing National Project for Cattle and Buffalo Breeding since October 2000, which has focus on development and conservation of indigenous breeds. Funds have been released to the participating States for procurement of bulls for natural service, initiating bull production programmes, strengthening of bull mother farms and establishment of ONBS farms for important indigenous breeds (Sahiwal, Gir, Deoni, Kankrej, Hariana, Kenkatha, Hallikar, Khillar etc) for their fur ther development. During Phase-I of the project, an amount of Rs.58 crore has been released exclusively for development and conservation of indigenous breeds. An amount of Rs.356.78 crore has been kept exclusively for development of indigenous breeds under Phase-II of NPCBB. In addition to this, strengthening of field AI network, semen stations, establishment of private AI workers and organization of fer tility camps will also lead to development of indigenous breeds.

(ii) National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) and BAIF Development Research Foundation

are also implementing indigenous breed development programmes for breeds like Rathi, Kankrej, Krishna Valley, Dangi Khillar, Hallikar by involving farmers and Gaushalas etc. Sabarmati Gaushala Bidaj has extensively utilized its core competency in embryo transfer technology (ETT) to conserve and preserve endangered germplasm. Under this programme, 169 viable embryos of Sahiwal, 46 of Red Sindhi, 179 of Kankrej, 10 of Gir cattle, 19 of Jaffarabadi, 22 Pandharpuri and 43 Toda buffaloes have been preserved. Sabarmati Gaushala Bidaj is also maintaining indigenous bulls (Murrah, Sahiwal, Gir, Kankrej) for semen production.

4.8 Post Operation Flood and Consolidation of Cooperative Movement – by NDDB

4.8.1 The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) was set up in 1965 to promote, plan and organise programmes for the development of dairy and other agriculture based and allied industries along cooperative lines, and also to provide assistance in the implementation of such programmes. In 1987, the Parliament declared NDDB as a statutory body corporate and an institution of national importance under the NDDB Act.

4.8.2 Strengthening the Cooperatives

4.8.2.1 During 2009-10, dairy cooperatives continued to avail technical and financial support from NDDB in the areas of strengthening cooperative business, productivity enhancement, quality assurance, creation of a national information network and building dairy infrastructure. Up to December 2009, 98 plans of dairy cooperatives under the Perspective Plan 2010 with a total outlay of Rs.1,979.25 crore have been approved. Out of this, NDDB’s financial assistance in the form of interest bearing loans, interest free loans and grants aggregate to Rs.1,633.90 crore. The balance of Rs.345.35 crore is contributed by the Milk Unions/Federations.

C H A P T E R 4 43

4.8.3 Animal Breeding

4.8.3.1 NDDB in collaboration with various implementing agencies like the Karnataka Milk Federation, Mehsana Milk Union, Banaskantha Milk Union, Sabarmati Ashram Gaushala, Bidaj and Animal Breeding Centre, Salon, continued to implement progeny testing programmes for the production of quality bulls of Holstein Friesian (HF) and crossbred HF cattle as well as Mehsana and Murrah buffaloes.

4.8.3.2 The genetic potential of cattle and buffaloes can be improved through artificial insemination using quality semen produced from high genetic merit bulls. During the year, NDDB-managed semen stations – Sabarmati Ashram Gaushala, Bidaj and Animal Breeding Centre, Salon – together produced about 109 lakh (provisional) doses of frozen semen. The eight dairy cooperative semen production stations added another 102 lakh (provisional) doses of frozen semen.

4.8.3.3 NDDB has been providing financial assistance

to some professional AI service providers to encourage them to provide quality AI services on a cost-plus basis at the doorstep of milk producers following a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).

4.8.3.4 During the year, NDDB’s Indigenous Breed Development Project for Rathi and Kankrej cattle breeds continued in their native tracts in Rajasthan and Gujarat. The conservation and development of

the Rathi breed is being carried out in Bikaner and Sri Ganganagar districts of Rajasthan. NDDB is also working on the Kankrej breed in Banaskantha and

Patan districts of Gujarat. A milk-recording programme

for identifying elite cows and producing bulls from the

bull mothers is a part of the Project. The bulls thus

produced are procured and distributed to various

institutions for further dissemination through natural

service or the AI programme. These bulls have a

confirmed parentage, verified by the use of molecular

markers, and they are also free from diseases like

tuberculosis, Johne’s disease and brucellosis. In

addition, efforts to preserve indigenous breeds of

cattle and buffaloes by in vitro methods, through

frozen embryos and semen doses, continued in buffalo

breeds like Jaffarabadi, Murrah, Pandharpuri and

Toda, and in cattle breeds like Gir, Hariana, Kankrej,

Khillar, Rathi, Red Sindhi, Sahiwal and Tharparkar.

4.8.3.5 NDDB has developed an integrated

information system for breeding, nutrition and health care services called ‘Information Network for Animal

Productivity and Health (INAPH)’. The system is

being pilot tested.

4.8.4 Animal Nutrition & Feed Technology

4.8.4.1 NDDB’s advisory services to the cattle

feed plants of dairy cooperatives have helped in

maintaining the quality of feed and feed supplements.

More than 90 per cent of the feed produced by

the cooperative cattle feed plants conformed

to standard specifications. These plants have

also been able to increase their capacity

utilisation to around 95 per cent. Some of

the cattle feed plants also availed of NDDB’s

assistance for setting up bypass protein plants

across various locations.

4.8.4.2 A balanced ration contributes towards

improving productivity and reproductive

efficiency in dairy animals. The ration balancing Animal Breeding

C H A P T E R 444

programme is being implemented on a limited scale

in seven States namely, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar,

Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Uttar

Pradesh. The animals fed with a balanced ration under

this programme have shown an improvement in the

milk yield and there has also been a reduction in the

cost of feeding per day per animal.

4.8.4.3 NDDB continued to undertake mineral mapping

programmes in different agro-climatic zones to set

up plants for the production of area specific mineral

mixtures. During the year, mineral mapping work was

completed for Sehore, Indore, Barwani and Mandsaur

districts in Madhya Pradesh. Calcium, phosphorus,

sulphur, copper, zinc and cobalt were found to be

deficient in the ration of animals in these districts.

Based on the results of mineral mapping, an area-

specific mineral mixture formulation was developed for

the zone. NDDB also continued to provide technical

assistance for setting up mineral mixture plants.

4.8.4.4 With the rising cost of concentrate feed

ingredients, green fodder is emerging as an economic

source of nutrients. NDDB provided assistance to

dairy cooperatives for procurement of breeder seeds

of improved varieties of fodder crops from the Indian

Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR)/agriculture

universities. The dairy cooperatives organised

production of 3,500 tonnes of certified/truthfully

labelled seeds to enhance green fodder production.

Efforts are being made to popularise cultivation of high

yielding varieties of forages and fodder conservation

technologies through field demonstrations.

4.8.5 Animal Health

4.8.5.1 NDDB’s support for the Animal Disease

Control Project for control of Foot and Mouth

Disease (FMD) in Kerala, called ‘Goraksha’,

implemented by the State Animal Husbandry

Department, came to a close. A corpus fund

has been created from contributions by animal

owners for a part of the cost of the vaccine

and ear-tag, and from the annual contribution

by the Government of Kerala. The interest from

the corpus along with the charge being levied

on the animal owners to recover part of the

cost of the vaccine and ear-tag, as well as the

annual contribution from the Government of Kerala has ensured continuation of the project beyond five years.

4.8.5.2 NDDB’s R&D Laboratory continued to extend diagnostic services to organised farms to reduce economic losses due to infectious diseases and for better productivity of animals. The use of rapid and accurate diagnostic techniques has not only prevented the spread of infectious diseases such as bovine brucellosis, Infectious Bovine Animal Nutrition and Feed Technology

C H A P T E R 4 45

Rhinotracheitis (IBR), bovine tuberculosis, Johne’s Disease (JD) and foot and mouth disease, but has also helped to maintain disease-free herds. The Laboratory also carries out the OIE-approved real-time PCR protocol, as a routine, to screen bovine frozen semen and to certify it to be free from the IBR virus. In addition, the Laboratory provides services for karyotyping, diagnosis of genetic diseases and parentage verification, to the organised farms. These services are extremely useful for maintaining high quality bulls and to eliminate the abnormal breeding stock from the population.

4.8.5.3 The Laboratory is also engaged in the development of recombinant/new generation vaccines against IBR, FMD, bovine brucellosis, rabies and multi-species tick infestations. The trials conducted on animals to study the safety and efficacy of these vaccines have shown encouraging results. The development of a marker vaccine against infectious diseases will help to confer better immunity and also facilitate differentiation between infection and vaccination immunity.

4.8.6 Ensuring Milk Quality

4.8.6.1 NDDB continued to assist dairy cooperatives in ensuring the quality of packed milk and milk products through the use of proper technology and processes covering the entire milk chain from the producer to the consumer. This included support for establishment of efficient milk collection and handling equipment including milk analysers and bulk milk coolers in the rural areas to retain the quality of raw milk reaching the dairy processing units.

4.8.6.2 The milk processing units of dairy cooperatives are also advised on production of quality milk and its products by optimum utilisation of resources. With a view to improve plant conditions for efficient operations, NDDB assisted the dairy plants in quality audit, energy conservation and loss reduction. The milk processing units are also supported to implement environment management systems.

4.8.6.3 NDDB has been involved in arranging training on aspects such as clean milk production, dairy plant operations and hygienic and proper handling of milk and milk products. Under the project ‘Nationwide Database on Milk Quality Parameters’, the testing of milk samples for chemical as well as microbiological parameters has been taken up by NDDB. The aim of the project is to create a database of milk quality parameters in the country to facilitate policy decisions for quality assurance. The results were shared with the respective dairy cooperatives for preparing and implementing action plans to improve the quality of milk.

4.8.7 Milk Procurement and Marketing

4.8.7.1 The average milk procurement by dairy cooperatives during 2009-10 (up to December, 2009) was more than 241 lakh kgs per day (provisional) as compared to 233 lakh kgs per day during the same period in the previous year, registering an increase of 3.4 per cent. The average milk marketing by cooperatives was 211 lakh litres per day as against 201 lakh litres per day, registering a rise of about five per cent over the corresponding period in the previous year. Dairy cooperatives continued to avail of NDDB’s assistance to expand their distribution network, diversify their product portfolio, improve services, promote sales and to carry out consumer awareness activities.

4.8.8 New Generation Cooperatives (NGC)

4.8.8.1 NDDB continued to promote New Generation Cooperatives (NGC) initiatives in areas where large volumes of surplus marketable milk have remained untapped by the existing dairy cooperatives. By the end of December 2009, about 1,50,000 producers were organized into around 7,800 milk pooling points in nine States namely, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Jammu & Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Collectively, they procure an average of 6,61,000 kgs of milk per day with a peak procurement of 10,80,000

C H A P T E R 446

kgs per day in 2009-10 upto December 2009. NDDB is working with the Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA) to design and develop Producer Company structures that would function as viable producer-owned enterprises.

4.8.8.3 Some innovative practices in milk collection, testing and direct payment have been put in place to ensure transparency and build confidence amongst producers. A user- friendly payment solution in collaboration with a commercial bank has been introduced in some locations where money is transferred directly to the account of each producer and a Business Correspondent of the bank makes cash payment to the producers at their villages/nearby Bulk Milk Cooler centre.

4.8.9 Building a National Information Network

4.8.9.1 NDDB continued to strengthen its internet-based Dairy Information System (i-DIS) which is being used by most of the dairy cooperatives and marketing dairies. The system enables compilation of the number of village dairy cooperative societies and their members, the quantum of milk procured and the volume of milk marketed by dairy cooperatives. Orientation workshops were organised for officers of milk unions across the country to improve the quality of information reported.

4.8.10 Projects

4.8.10.1 Various cooperative milk unions and federations across the country continued to avail of NDDB’s technical suppor t to create new milk

processing and milk product manufacturing infrastructure as well as to expand/strengthen their existing facilities. NDDB provided appropriate and affordable technical solutions on a turnkey or consultancy basis to cooperative milk unions and federations. During the year, NDDB completed one consultancy and six turnkey projects for dairy plants. Besides, five consultancy projects and 17 turnkey projects were at various stages of implementation. NDDB also extended suppor t to various technical

sub-committees of the Bureau of Indian Standards in updating various codes related to dairy and utilities.

4.8.11 Product & Process Development

4.8.11.1 NDDB continued to develop new product and process technologies and supported dairy cooperatives to add value to their business by expanding their product range. To cater to the growing demand for health foods, NDDB developed a fibre-fortified low calorie drink and probiotic emmental cheese during the year. Two variants of processed emmental cheese were also developed. The formulation and processing

Project of NDDB

New Generation Cooperatives

C H A P T E R 4 47

parameters for commercial production of vegetable-based raita were standardised.

4.8.11.2 NDDB extended technical support and supplied freeze-dried starter cultures for production of fermented dairy products to various dairy cooperatives.

4.8.12 Centre for Analysis and Learning in Livestock and Food (CALF)

4.8.12.1Recognising the importance and need for reliable and efficient laboratory services for the livestock, dairy and food sectors, NDDB has established a CALF at Anand.

4.8.12.2 With the state-of-the-art equipment, advanced technologies and qualified technical staff, CALF offers a range of reliable and accurate analytical services for food and feed and diagnostic services for genetic disorders and animal health. CALF follows internationally recognised analytical methods and a Quality Management System based on ISO:17025. The Centre also conducts training programmes in food and feed analysis.

4.9 National Dairy Plan

4.9.1 National Dairy Plan is a strategic plan with proposed outlay of Rs.17,371 crore to achieve a target of 180 million tonnes of milk production annually by 2021-22. Milk production is expected to grow at four per cent with an annual incremental output of five million tonnes in the next 15 years. Districts will be categorised into 324 high potential districts for intensive development and remaining 282 low potential districts for further expansion of the sector.

4.9.2 Under this plan, the Government is contemplating to enhance milk production in major milk producing areas, strengthen and expand infrastructure to produce, process and market milk through the existing and new institutional structures. The plan envisages breed improvement through

AI and through natural service, setting up plants to augment cattle feed, by -pass protein and mineral mixture. The plan also proposes to bring 65 per cent of the surplus milk produced under organized sector for procurement as against the present 30 per cent. The cooperative and private sector would continue to have 50:50 shares.

4.9.3 The Government is exploring World Bank assistance to bring down the cost to the Government and also to provide loans at a concessional rate. Approach paper/ Preliminary Project Report has been forwarded to the World Bank through the Ministry of Finance. NDDB is preparing State specific plans in consultation with State Governments/ milk federations to increase milk production. NDDB is having discussion with World Bank Officials to finalise Detailed Project Report.

4.10 Delhi Milk Scheme (DMS)

4.10.1 Delhi Milk Scheme (DMS) was set up in 1959 with the primary objective of supplying wholesome milk to the citizens of Delhi at reasonable prices as well as for providing remunerative prices to milk producers. Manufacture and sale of milk products like Ghee, Table Butter, Yoghurt, Paneer, Chhachh and Flavoured Milk is also under taken as an allied activity. The initial installed capacity of Delhi Milk Scheme was for processing/packing of 2.55 lakh litres of milk per day. However, in order to meet increasing demand for milk in the city, the capacity was expanded in phases to the level of 5.00 lakh litres of milk per day. The Department has developed a web site http://dms.gov.in for use by related users.

4.10.2 Management

4.10.2.1 DMS is headed by a General Manager. He is assisted by Senior Officers viz. Deputy General Manager (Administration.), Deputy General Manager (Technical) and Financial Adviser & Chief Accounts Officer.

4.10.2.2 There is a Management Committee, which enjoys powers of a Depar tment of Government

C H A P T E R 448

Though the deficit came down from Rs.24.94 crore in

2006-07 to Rs.10.99 crore in 2008-09, it increased

to Rs.29.40 crore during the current financial

year due to lesser procurement of raw milk, higher

purchase price paid for skimmed milk powder, raw

milk and implementation of 6th Pay Commission’s

recommendations.

4.10.9 Cost of Production and Losses

4.10.9.1 The main reasons for losses are:

(i) Continuous increase in the cost prices of raw

materials, light diesel oil (LDO), water, polythene

film, electricity and other consumables.

(ii) Lower capacity utilization of plant during

2000-01 to 2004-05.

C H A P T E R 4 51

(iii) No up-gradation of major part of plant and

machinery.

4.10.10 Steps Taken to Reduce Losses:

(i) Government is adopting professional approach in different area of operation such as marketing, transportation and plant operation for increasing overall efficiency.

(ii) Modernization of the obsolete plant, machinery and equipment is being undertaken to reduce the cost.

(iii) Monitoring the various efficiency parameters of DMS on monthly basis such as average daily sale of milk, milk handled per unit of electricity

and percentage of loss of liquid milk.

4.10.11 Improving Efficiency/Functioning ofDMS

4.10.11.1 Quality Control Measures: The quality control standards have been made stringent to ensure supply of good quality milk. An instant sodium meter has been installed in Quality Control Laboratory for rapid assessment/detection of neutralizers or alkaline adulterants (if any) added to milk and milk products by unscrupulous elements. For detection of contaminants & pollutants in milk, a Gas Liquid Chromatogram, 2 Nos. of Milko Scan – 133B and Electronic Milk Testing Centrifuges have also been installed.

4.10.12 Marketing of Milk

● Custom packing of 75,000 litres of milk for

Mother Dairy to utilize idle capacity.

● Out-sourcing for transporting milk & milk

products.

● Appointment of Distributors/Dealers to promote the sale of milk.

● Ensuring regular and timely supply as per market demand

● Training of DMS personnel in dairy plant operations and maintenance.

4.10.13StepsTakentoImproveEfficiency

4.10.13.1 The DMS plant is having a capacity of processing/packing of 5.00 lakh litres of milk per day (LLPD). With the increase in price of DMS milk with effect from 1.3.2000, sale of milk came down from 4.5 LLPD to about 2.00 LLPD. The sale of milk star ted picking up from April, 2003 onwards and reached 3.50 LLPD (average) upto the year 2005-06. During 2006-07, due to shortage of milk because of rains, floods and drought in various States, as DMS could not procure sufficient quantity of milk, therefore could utilize only 60.2 per cent of its capacity including custom packing of milk for Mother Dairy.

4.10.13.2 The present sale of milk by DMS through its

outlets is around 3.10 lakh litres per day (LLPD). The

sale of DMS and custom packing of Mother Dairy

milk by DMS taken together has reached 3.80

LLPD enhancing capacity utilization of DMS plant.

4.10.14 Reduction in the Staff Strength of DMS

4.10.14.1 In pursuance of the instructions issued by Ministry of Finance to down size the Government machinery and to reduce the administrative expenses, the DMS has decided to reduce its working strength. The Table 4.12 depicts the continuous reduction in staff strength of DMS:

C H A P T E R 452

4.10.15 Reduction in Return Milk and Fat & SNF Losses

4.10.15.1 In the past, DMS was incurring an extra cost

on account of reprocessing of return milk. Various

measures have been taken and the quantity of return

milk has come down to the barest minimum.

4.10.16 Outsourcing of transport for transportation of milk

4.10.16.1 Outsourcing of the transport fleet in phases

has been taken up. 58 routes, covering 42 routes

in the morning and 16 in the evening have been

outsourced as on 31st December, 2009. With phasing

out of vehicles from DMS transport fleet more

insulated vehicles are being deployed with labour and

cash collection duties as per requirement of DMS.

4.10.17 Upgradation and Modernization of DMS Plant

4.10.17.1 The DMS plant, which was installed at the

time of its commissioning has become old and is

consuming more electricity etc. and adding to the

loss of the organization. The installed capacity of the

plant was for processing five lakh litres of milk per

day. Presently, the DMS is processing about four lakh

litres of milk per day. As the plant is old, it is almost

running to an optimum level and therefore, it may

not be possible to process the milk at the level of its

installed capacity without up-gradation/automation.

During current financial year 2009-10, the following

equipments have been installed and commissioned

(a) 20 KLPH milk pasteurizer.

(b) 5 litre Mechanical Poly Pack Mchine.

(c) ACB for 11 KV Substation.

(d) PHE Amonia Condenser.

(e) Air dryer for air compressors.

(f) Electrical cubical panels for refrigeration.

(g) 3 mechanical poly pack machines for 1 litre

packing.

With the installation of these equipments, not only the

electricity consumption has been reduced but it has

also improved the efficiency.

4.10.17.2 The present capacity utilization of DMS is

about 80 per cent. Efforts are being made to utilize

its capacity by increasing the sale of milk and milk

products leading to reduction in losses.

4.10.18 Corporatization of DMS

4.10.18.1 The activities of DMS are purely commercial

in nature. In order to run it as a commercial entity

and make it financially viable, the Union Cabinet has

given ‘in principle’ approval to this Department’s

proposal to corporatize DMS. National Dairy

Development Board has taken up the job of

preparation of feasibility report, AOA/MOA etc.

by direct negotiation/settlement in terms of Rule,

176 of GFR. After completion of all formalities, the

Department will bring a comprehensive proposal for

corporatization of DMS before the Union Cabinet for

formal approval.

5 FISHERIES

5.1 introduction

5.1.1 Fisheries sector contributes significantly to

the national economy while providing livelihood to

approximately 14.49 million people in the country.

It has been recognized as a powerful income and

employment generator as it stimulates growth of a

number of subsidiary industries and is a source of

cheap and nutritious food besides being a source of

foreign exchange earner. Most importantly, it is the

source of livelihood for a large section of economically

backward population of the country. The main

challenges facing fisheries development in the country

include development of sustainable technologies for

fin and shell fish culture, aquaculture Certification,

yield optimization, infrastructure for harvest and post-

harvest operations, landing and berthing facilities

for fishing vessels and uniform registration of fishing

vessels.

5.2 Thrust areas

5.2.1 Fisheries is a State subject and as such the

primary responsibility for its development rests with

the State Governments. The major thrust in fisheries

development has been on optimizing production and

productivity, augmenting export of marine products,

generating employment and improving welfare of

fishermen and their socio-economic status.

5.3 On-going schemes

(i) Development of Inland Fisheries and

Aquaculture

(ii) Development of Marine Fisheries, Infrastructure

and Post Harvest Operations

(iii) National Scheme of Welfare of

Fishermen

(iv) Strengthening of Database and

Geographical Information System for

Fisheries Sector

(v) Assistance to Fisheries Institutes

(vi) National Fisheries Development Board

5.4 Development of inland fisheries and Aquaculture

5.4.1 This CSS is being implemented through

the State Governments/UT Administrations. The

scheme covers all inland fishery resources

available in the country in the form of freshwater,

brackishwater, coldwater, waterlogged areas, saline/

alkaline soils for aquaculture and capture fishery

resources (reservoir/rivers etc.). The scheme

has been implemented with seven components

namely, Development of Freshwater Aquaculture,

Development of Brackishwater Aquaculture,

Development of Coldwater Fisheries and Aquaculture

in the Hilly Regions, Development of Water-logged

Areas into Aquaculture Estate, Utilization of Inland

Saline/Alkaline Soils for Aquaculture and Inland

Capture Fisheries (Reservoirs/Rivers etc.) and

Innovative Projects for implementation in the 11th Five

Year Plan. The two components namely, Development

of Freshwater Aquaculture and Development of

Brackishwater Aquaculture are being implemented

by a network of 429 Fish Farmers Development

Agencies (FFDAs) in the respective States and

Union Territories. A brief write up on the first two

components, which are important is given below:

India is the third largest

producer of fish and second

largest producer of fresh

water fish in the world. The

fish production during 2008-

09 is estimated to be 76.08

lakh tonnes.

About 7.75 lakh hectare water

area brought under scientific

fish farming, 9.39 lakh fish

farmers/fishermen trained in

improved practices & 13.19

lakh persons benefited till

2008-09 under ‘Development

of Freshwater Aquaculture’.

C H A P T E R 556

5.4.2 Development of freshwater Aquaculture

5.4.2.1 The main objectives of the scheme are to

popularize modern fish farming, creating employment

opportunities and diversifying aquaculture practices

and providing assistance to fish farmers engaged in

aquaculture.

5.4.2.2 In order to boost inland fish production,

assistance in the form of subsidy is given to the fish

farmers for construction of new ponds, reclamation/

renovation of ponds and tanks, first year inputs

(fish seed, fer tilizers, manures, etc.), integrated fish

farming, running water fish culture, establishment

of fish seed hatcheries and fish feed mills, etc.

Assistance is also given to progressive fish farmers

for purchase of aerators to fur ther enhance the

productivity of fish. Subsidy for the above-mentioned

activities is given at higher rates to fish farmers

who belong to Scheduled Tribes/Scheduled Castes.

Financial assistance is also provided for freshwater

prawn seed hatchery, laboratory, soil & water

testing kits, integrated units for ornamental fish and

transportation of seed in hilly areas. The expenditure

towards developmental activities is being shared on

75:25 basis between the Government of India and

State Governments. For UTs, Central Government

provides cent percent funding assistance.

5.4.2.3 During 2008-09, an additional area of

25,087 hectare was brought under fish culture and

36,805 fishers were trained in improved practices.

The scheme has benefited about 40,073 persons.

Due to introduction of improved technology of fish

farming and the efforts of FFDAs, the national average

productivity of ponds and tanks covered under the

programme has reached a figure of 2600 kg/ha/

annum.

5.4.3 Development of Brackishwater Aquaculture

5.4.3.1 With a view to provide technical, financial and

extension support to shrimp farmers in the small scale

sector, 39 Brackishwater Fish Farmers Development

Agencies (BFDAs) have been sanctioned in all the

coastal States and the UT of Andaman & Nicobar

Islands. During 2008-09, additional area of about

2,317 ha. was brought under shrimp culture and

1,457 fishers were trained in improved practices.

5.4.3.2 Since inception of the scheme till 2008-09,

about 38,517 ha. water area has been brought under

shrimp culture and 33,824 shrimp farmers have been

trained in improved practices of shrimp farming and

the number of beneficiaries covered under the

programme is about 27,211 numbers, while

the productivity has reached to 1,200 kg/ha/

annum.

5.4.4 Progress of the scheme during 2008-09 and 2009-10

5.4.4.1 A sum of Rs.13.60 crore was

released during the financial year 2008-

09. During 2009-10 (till 31.12.2009), an

amount of Rs.15.50 crore has been released

to the various states and UTs for achieving Constructed Aquaculture Pond

C H A P T E R 5 57

the target of covering 30,000 ha water area under

fish culture.

5.5 Development of Marine fisheries, infrastructure and Post-Harvest Operations

5.5.1 Programmes for Development of Marine fisheries

5.5.1.1 The Department has continued to extend

financial assistance for the development of marine

sector to implement several central sector and

centrally sponsored schemes such as motorization of

traditional craft, assisting the small-scale mechanized

sector by subsidizing the excise duty on fuel, setting up

of infrastructure for safe landing, berthing and post-

harvest operations etc. and thereby improving the

socio-economic conditions of traditional fishermen.

5.5.1.2 Based on Zero Based Budgeting (ZBB)

exercise, the ongoing schemes were brought under

a comprehensive scheme since 10th Five Year Plan,

titled ‘Centrally Sponsored Scheme on Development

of Marine Fisheries, Infrastructure and Post Harvest

Operations’ with necessary modifications. The

scheme for 11th Five Year Plan has three major

components viz. (i) Development of Marine Fisheries,

(ii) Development of Infrastructure and Post Harvest

Operations and (iii) Provisions for taking up of

Innovative Activities.

5.5.2 Component-wise details of the scheme

5.5.2.1 Development of Marine fisheries

5.5.2.1.1 Motorization of Traditional Craft: Motorization of Traditional Craft, a production

oriented scheme was introduced during 7th Plan with

the objectives of (i) technological upgradation of

traditional fishing sector, (ii) to help the fishermen

to reduce their physical strain and (iii) to extend the

range of their fishing operation primarily to increase

the quantum of fish catch, income and thereby to uplift

their socio-economic status. About 46,223 traditional

crafts have been motorized so far since inception of

the scheme. The scheme has continued during the 11th

Five Year Plan with the modification that the subsidy

benefit will be extended both for Out Board Motor

(OBM) and In Board Motor (IBM) of 8-10 HP. Under

this component, 50 per cent of the unit cost is provided

as subsidy subject to a maximum of Rs.30,000/- per

OBM/IBM, which is shared equally between the Centre

and State Governments. In the case of UTs, the Central

Government meets the entire subsidy. An amount of

Rs.176.30 lakh and Rs.214.00 lakh were released to

various States/UTs during 2008-09 and 2009-10 (till

31st December, 2009) respectively.

5.5.2.1.2 safety of fishermen at sea: The

hazardous nature of sea fishing often results in loss

of life and fishing boats and implements, besides

injury and permanent impairment. Recent studies

have pointed out that calamities occur mostly due to

ill-equipped vessels and non-availability of an early

warning system on board. This component is intended

to improve the sea safety to reduce loss of human life

and property at sea. Under this component, subsidy

is provided to the tune of 75 per cent of unit cost

of a kit consisting of GPS, communication equipment,

echo-sounder and search & rescue beacon. The unit

cost of these equipments together works out to about

Rs.1.50 lakh and 75 per cent of which is provided as

subsidy. The component is implemented through State

Fisheries Federations/Corporations and Panchayati

Raj Institutions. An amount of Rs.275.00 lakh has

been released during the year 2009-10 (till 31st

December, 2009) under this component.

5.5.2.1.3 fishermen Development Rebate on HsD Oil: The scheme for reimbursement of Central Excise

Duty on HSD oil used by fishing vessels below 20

meter length was introduced from 1990-91 onwards

C H A P T E R 558

with a view to help the small mechanized fishing

owners/operators to bring down the operational cost

of these vessels and thereby to encourage them

to increase the fishing days, fish catch and income.

Under the restructured scheme for 11th Plan, Central

rebate equivalent to 50 per cent of the Sales Tax relief

granted by the States/UTs on HSD oil used for fishing

purpose with central subsidy limited to Rs.3.00/litre

of HSD oil with a ceiling of 500 litres is provided

per boat per month during active fishing months.

Subsidy is provided to the vessels of size less than 20

meters, registered before 10th Five Year Plan, which

are owned by fishers of Below Poverty Line (BPL)

category. Rs.1,500.00 lakh and Rs.749.00 lakh were

released to various States/UTs during 2008-09 and

2009-10 (till December, 2009) respectively under this

component.

This component on multi-day intermediate class of

resource specific fishing vessels in the length range

of about 18 meters is implemented with a unit cost of

Rs.60.00 lakh on which a subsidy equivalent to 10 per

cent of the cost, restricted to Rs.6.00 lakh is provided.

This component is implemented through States/UTs.

Prototype study of new intermediate vessel design

is undertaken through Central Institute of Fisheries

Nautical and Engineering Training (CIFNET). An

amount of Rs.15.00 lakh has been released under

the above said scheme during the year 2009-10 (till

December, 2009).

5.5.2.1.5 Establishment of Operation of Vessel Monitoring system: Vessel Monitoring System

(VMS) has been recognized as one of the important

management tools for Monitoring, Control and

Surveillance (MCS) of movement of fishing

vessels in the EEZ. this component has been

continued during the 11th Plan to establish

and operate VMS to regulate operation of

fishing vessels in EEZ. Entire cost of such

system is borne by the Government of India.

The Antrix Corporation, Bangalore has

developed software for VMS and installed a

6.3 meter antenna system including pedestal

reflector etc. at the premises of Indian

Coast Guard, Porbandar, Gujarat. Civil work

related to control station has been completed and the

Department is in the process of obtaining license for

Mobile Satellite Service Reporting Terminals (MMSRT)

from the Department of Telecommunication.

5.5.2.1.6 Promoting Fuel Efficient and Environment friendly fishing Practices: This

is a new component introduced during the 11th

Plan. Fishermen by and large use traditional fuels

like kerosene, diesel and petrol for operating their

engines. These fuels not only pollute the air but also

slowly deteriorate the marine environment. Further,

the spiraling price of these conventional fuels is

Fishing in Sea

5.5.2.1.4 introduction of intermediate Craft of improved Design: Out of the estimated 3.9 million

tonnes of potential marine fisheries resources, about

3 million tonnes has been exploited. The remaining

potential exists mainly in the deep sea, which is beyond

the fishing capacity of small-scale fishing boats.

Adequate number of appropriately designed boats

would be required to judiciously exploit the fisheries

potential of the EEZ. Accordingly, this component was

included in the macro scheme to acquire an appropriate

design and to provide the financial incentives to

fishermen groups to take up new generation craft.

C H A P T E R 5 59

making the fishing venture increasingly uneconomical.

Shortage of kerosene through PDS has already put

burden on fishermen in certain States. In order to

overcome this, the LPG kit for use on OBMs is a recent

development through sustained R&D efforts. The

results obtained from a pilot study indicates positive

factors such as reduced wear and tear to the engines,

lower cost of operation and a substantial reduction

in emissions. The use of LPG kit in OBMs is being

encouraged to undertake environment friendly fishing.

Under this component, Central financial assistance to

the tune of 30 per cent cost of LPG kit with a ceiling

of Rs.10,000/- is provided to the beneficiaries. This

component is implemented through State Fisheries

Federations/Corporations and Panchayati Raj

Institutions.

5.5.2.1.7 Management of Marine fisheries: Over capacity and over fishing are the two identified

major factors contributing to resource depletion in

marine capture fisheries. Many par ts of the world’s

oceans have their major commercial stock either

totally depleted or dangerously heading towards

the point of depletion. Unsustainable fishing

practices, damage to marine habitat and Illegal,

Unregulated and Unrepor ted (IUU) fishing are other

major activities, which are negatively impacting the

stock levels. Maximization of fish production and

expor ts through various developmental strategies

have occupied the centre-stage of our fisheries

planning since independence. Since

the exploitation of fisheries resources

in the territorial waters have either

reached the optimum level or exceeded

in cer tain instances, focus has to be

shifted to scientific management of our

marine fisheries with development of

appropriate tools and techniques in

harmony with international guidelines in

the matter. This new component aims at

initiating science-based management of

marine fisheries. The activities under taken under

this component include (i) conducting awareness

programmes, (ii) implementing Code of Conduct

for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF), (iii) capacity

evaluation, (iv) under taking community out reach

programmes on sustainable fisheries and (v)

production of Audio visuals on over fishing/over

capacity. The Government of India provides 100

per cent financial assistance to under take these

activities. This component is implemented through

States/UTs, PRIs, Central Fishery Institutes, NGOs

and Fishermen Organizations/Societies.

5.5.2.2 Development of infrastructure and Post Harvest Operations

5.5.2.2.1 Establishment of fishing Harbours & fish Landing Centers

5.5.2.2.1.1 Development of infrastructure facilities

for the fishery sector is one of the important factors

that contribute to augment marine fish production

and its exports. In order to meet the infrastructure

requirement of fisheries sector, a centrally sponsored

scheme, with the objective of providing infrastructure

facilities for safe landing and berthing of traditional

fishing craft, mechanized fishing vessels and deep

sea fishing vesselswas initiated in 1964. The facilities

created under the scheme are fishing harbours and

fish landing centres which include breakwater, wharf,

jetty, dredging, reclamation, quay, auction hall, slipway,

Fishing Harbour

C H A P T E R 560

workshop, net mending shed and other ancillary

facilities.

5.5.2.2.1.2 Since Tenth Five Year Plan, the scheme

has been merged with the CSS on Development of

Marine Fisheries, Infrastructure and Post Harvest

Operations as a component on ‘Establishment of

Fishing Harbours and Fish Landing Centres’. The

Central financial assistance under this component

is provided to various implementing agencies

consisting of (i) 75 per cent to Coastal States,

Port Trust, Fishermen Cooperative Societies/

Organizations/Associations and 100 per cent to

UTs for (a) construction of minor fishing harbours

and fish landing centres; and (b) upgradation/

expansion/repair/renovation of existing minor fishing

harbours and fish landing centres, (ii) 100 per cent

assistance to Coastal States, Port Trust, Fishermen

Cooperative Societies/Organizations /Associations

for construction of major fishing harbours, including

expansion/modernization of existing major fishing

harbours and (iii) 50 per cent assistance to Private

Entrepreneurs for construction of major/minor

fishing harbours and fish landing centres on Build,

Operate & Transfer (BOT) basis.

6 TRADE MATTERS

6.1 Introduction

6.1.1 After the removal of Quantitative Restrictions

(QRs) on various livestock products, the Department

amended the Livestock Importation Act, 1898

bringing all the livestock products under its purview

for the purpose of regulating their import. Accordingly,

Notifications No. 655(E) dated,7th July,2001 for

livestock products, No.1043(E) dated 16.10.2001 for

fishery products and No. 1175(e) dated 27.11.2001

for Grand Parent stock of poultry had been issued

making it mandatory to import livestock products

against Sanitary Import Permit( SIP). On 28.03.2008

vide Notification No.794 (E), the Department has

further amended the Notification No.655(E) dated,

7.07.2001 where by it has categorized the livestock

products requiring Sanitary Import Permit (SIP) , the

products that may be cleared on the basis of No

Objection from the Animal Quarantine and Certification

Services and the products which require neither SIP

nor No Objection. The SIP is issued after conducting

a risk analysis on the basis of disease situation of the

exporting country vis-a–vis disease situation of this

country.

6.2 Procedure for Imports

6.2.1 Applications received for import of livestock,

fisheries and their products are examined in the

Department. In case of livestock and fisheries products,

risk analysis is undertaken by the technical experts of

the Department on the basis of scientific evidence and

OIE regulations and their recommendations are placed

before a Risk Analysis Committee headed by the Joint

Secretary (Trade) and other Joint Secretaries of the

Department as members. Sanitary Import Permits

(SIPs) are issued once the approval is accorded by

the Committee.

6.2.2 In case of livestock and livestock related

commodities falling under restricted items, vaccines,

drugs & biologicals, a Committee on Trade & Investment

Matters headed by the Joint Secretary (Trade) and

other Joint Secretaries as members examines the

proposal and the views are communicated to the

the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT)

/ Drugs Controller of India (DCI) for issuance of

necessary import license in favour of concerned State

Governments/firms/ Organizations. 12 meetings of

both the committees were held during 2009.

6.2.3 The Department has put in place a system of

submission of on-line applications for issuance of SIPs

to various firms/Organizations engaged in activities

of import of livestock and livestock products. The

procedure for applying on-line for SIPs is available

on Department’s website www.dahd.nic.in along with

application form and other relevant information.

1788 Sanitary Import

Permits to import various

livestock products including

fisheries products and 181

No Objection Certificates to

import livestock and related

restricted commodities were

issued in 2009-10 (till 31st

December 2009).

C H A P T E R 774

7 SPECIAL COMPONENT PLAN (SCP) AND TRIBAL SUB-PLAN (TSP)

7.1 The Department of Animal Husbandry,

Dairying & Fisheries is implementing various Central

Sector and Centrally Sponsored Schemes, mainly

aimed at strengthening the infrastructure of the

State Governments for the development of livestock,

dairying & fisheries sectors. None of the schemes,

except Welfare Programme for Fishermen, is

directly beneficiary-oriented. A large population

of the country belonging to the Scheduled Castes,

Scheduled Tribes and other weaker sections of

the society and women are engaged in activities

in the livestock and fisheries sectors. As a

corollary, the various schemes implemented by

the Depar tment benefit these sections of the

society. Since, none of the schemes implemented

by the Depar tment, except welfare programme for

fishermen, is directly beneficiary oriented, it has

not been possible for the Depar tment to maintain

a record of the number of people belonging

to the Scheduled Cates, Scheduled Tribes and

women benefiting from these schemes. Keeping

in view the nature of the schemes, the State

Governments/Implementing Agencies have also

not been maintaining such a record.

C H A P T E R 8 75

8 EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN

8.1 Women in Animal Husbandry & Dairying

8.1.1 The Department does not have any specific

scheme designated for empowerment of women.

However, the Department has always emphasized

on providing benefits to women engaged in animal

husbandry, dairying & fisheries.

8.1.2 In the Animal Husbandry sector, men and

women work hand in hand with certain activities like

feeding the animals, milking of animals etc. mostly

performed by women. However, role of both men

and women are complementary in the field of animal

husbandry and it is not possible to segregate the

functions into specific grouping.

8.1.3 Women have been at the fore-front of

dairy cooperative movement, which was initially

carried under the Operation Flood Programme

and later also under the Integrated Dairy

Development Programme implemented by the

Government.

8.1.4 In the Poultry Sector, especially in the scheme

for promotion of rural poultry, it has been felt that as

rural poultry is an income supplementing scheme and

mostly implemented by women, emphasis in training

should be given to women.

8.1.5 Similarly, in the scheme for conservation of

breeds, the conservation of sheep, goat and small

ruminants are directed towards sectors in which

women are being identified to take up such schemes.

8.1.6 Women are actively involved in allied fisheries

activities like fish seed collection, fishing of juvenile

fishes, collection of mussels, edible oysters, sea

weeds, fish marketing, fish processing and product

development etc. Training, micro finance, organizing

them into groups and capacity building are the thrust

areas for enhancing their involvement and participation

in the fishery sector.

8.1.7 Schemes/Programmes implemented by the

Department have been beneficial to women. All the

States/Union Territories have been requested to

maintain record in this regard.

C H A P T E R 976

CHAPTER 10

SPECIAL LIVESTOCK SECTOR AND FISHERIES PACKAGE FOR THE SUICIDE PRONE DISTRICTS IN THE STATES OF ANDHRA PRADESH, MAHARASHTRA, KARNATAKA AND KERALA

C H A P T E R 1 0 79

10SPECIAL LIVESTOCK SECTOR AND FISHERIES PACKAGE FOR THE SUICIDE PRONE DISTRICTS IN THE STATES OF ANDHRA PRADESH, MAHARASHTRA, KARNATAKA AND KERALA

10.1 A number of districts in the States of Andhra

Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Kerala have

seen higher incidence of suicide by farmers due to

economic distress. There are 31 such identified

districts (16 in Andhra Pradesh, 6 in Maharashtra,

6 in Karnataka and 3 in Kerala). In order to provide

economic relief to the farming population in these

districts, this Department is implementing a ‘Special

Livestock Sector and Fisheries Package for the Suicide

Prone Districts in the States of Andhra Pradesh,

Maharashtra, Karnataka and Kerala’, which has

following components:

(a) Induction of high yielding milch animals

10.1.1 It has been decided to induct 1,000 high

yielding milch animals per district per year so that

small and marginal farmers who are more vulnerable

to economic distress may have an alternate source of

income. For this, the farmers are provided subsidy to

the extent of 50 per cent of the cost of purchase of

animals, with balance coming through loan from banks,

for which NABARD provides adequate refinance. Thus,

a total of 3,000 high yielding milch animals would

be inducted in each of the affected districts over

a period of three years that is from 2006-07 to

2008-09. The average cost of a high yielding milch

animal is Rs.30,000 per animal (including shed). The

Government of India provides the subsidy component.

The State Governments decide the breed(s) of animals

that may be purchased. Purchasing milch animals with

calf at foot (age within one month) is the ideal time

for buying milch animals so that benefits of major part

of the lactation is available to the farmer. Pregnant

animals will not be purchased, as the beneficiary

farmers cannot afford to take any risk. It is suggested

that a team of three persons viz., the beneficiary,

local veterinarian and a representative of the District

Administration or bank may purchase the animals.

Beneficiary seeks out an animal for purchase,

which is inspected by the aforesaid team. If the

team approves the selection, the animal is tagged

and vaccinated. The bank pays the purchase price

directly to the seller. Each identified beneficiary is

provided with two animals. One animal is purchased

initially and the second animal after six to seven

months of the purchase of the first animal so that

lactation cycle is staggered with continuous milk

production and income generation. Induction of

cattle in excess of 1000 per district per year by

utilizing savings is also allowed. Beneficiary may

use the entire subsidy amount of Rs. 30,000/- for

purchase of two milch animals, without making any

investment on the animal shed, if he/she already has

the required shed.

(b) Calf rearing programme

10.1.2 Induction of 1000 high yielding milch animals

per district per year for three years will also result in

induction of 500 female calves per district in each of

these years. As the farmers in the identified districts

may not be able to meet the rearing cost of the calves,

it has been decided to provide 50 per cent subsidy

on their rearing cost of the calf animals for a period

of one year. The cost of rearing, including milk, feed,

fodder and health cover is assessed at Rs.40/-per

animal per day. 50 per cent subsidy is borne by the

Government of India.

C H A P T E R 1 080

(c) Providing cattle / buffalo breeding services

10.1.3 The National Project for Cattle & Buffalo

Breeding (NPCBB) is already being implemented in

the four States. It has been decided to extend the

cattle/buffalo breeding services, free of cost, to all the

breedable cattle and buffaloes in the 31 districts and

intensify them through door-to-door services. This

relaxation is applicable only once for every animal

in these districts. Fur ther it has also been decided

to cover 70 per cent of the breedable animals once

by estrus synchronization. The cost of providing

AI services at the doorstep was fixed at Rs.450

per animal (assuming three inseminations per

successful conception) in 2006, which was reduced

to Rs.300/- per animal in 2007. The saving of

Rs.150 /- per animal was to be used to meet the

additional requirement for estrus synchronization

as the cost had increased from Rs.500 per animal

to Rs.650 per animal in 2007. The permissible

cost of estrus synchronization has been increased

from Rs.650/- to Rs.750 for Protocol I and Rs.800

for Protocol II. The savings achieved by exercising

economy in the implementation of the AI coverage

can be utilized for supply of mineral mixture and kits

for detection, preservation and control of mastistis.

Taking up de-worming and provision of urea molasses

blocks as a substitute for estrus synchronization is

also allowed to bring animals into fertile heat. The

funds requirement for implementing this component

is provided by the Government of India under the

NPCBB.

(d) Provision of health care to dairy animals

10.1.4 The farmers in the affected districts may not

be able to afford the expense involved in proper health

care of the high yielding cows/buffaloes. It has been

decided to provide health care services in respect

of animals inducted for a period of one year, which

is estimated at Rs.300 per animal per year. This is

borne by the Government of India under the centrally

sponsored scheme ‘Assistance to States for Control of

Animal Diseases’. Additional animals inducted under

the package may also be extended health cover for

a period of one year, without involving any additional

financial implication.

(e) Establishment of milk chilling units

10.1.5 It is necessary to provide chilling centres

for holding the milk to facilitate procurement. It has

been decided to provide necessary funds under this

package to set up chilling centres for every 10,000 to

12,000 litres of milk producing cluster of dairy units.

Funds would be provided by the Government of India

from the outlay for the centrally sponsored scheme

‘Intensive Dairy Development Programme’ (IDDP) to

establish 50 chilling units over a period of five years.

As per existing norms, funds under the IDDP can be

provided for only those districts which were not covered

by ‘Operation Flood’ or in which expenditure under OF

was less than Rs.50 lakh. It has been decided to waive

these conditions in respect of these 31 districts.

(f) Feed and fodder supply programme

10.1.6 The high yielding milch animals (average milk

production - 10Kg./day) need about 14 to 15 Kgs.

of balanced feed and fodder per day, which can be

processed and compressed into a block. Such blocks

can be produced commercially by establishment of

fodder block making units. The blocks can be easily

transported and stored in banks and supplied to the

farmers on a weekly/fortnightly basis. Daily requirement

of 31,000 high yielding cows and buffaloes comes to

31,000 fodder blocks (14-15 kg. each). For feeding

of such blocks, 25 per cent of the cost of Rs.100 for

each block will be provided as subsidy by the Central

Govt.

C H A P T E R 1 0 81

(g) Establishment of fodder block making units

10.1.7 It has been decided to establish fodder block

making units in the affected districts, where adequate

quantity of crop residues, dry fodder etc. are available.

The fodder blocks produced by such units may be

balanced to provide the requisite nutrients, including

vitamins and minerals for high yielding cows. The feed-

fodder blocks are also convenient for transportation

and storage. At present, a subsidy of 25 per cent is

provided for establishment of a plant costing about

Rs.85 lakh with a production capacity of 30 tonnes

of feed-fodder block per day. In relaxation, it has now

been decided to increase the subsidy to 50 per cent

to attract entrepreneurs of such plants and establish

20 units in the suicide prone districts. Provision of

feed concentrate as an option for fodder blocks is

also allowed in view of the farmers’ preference for

concentrate feed readily available in the market. In

place of 10 fodder block making units involving a

financial outlay of Rs.4.26 crore for the entire period

of package, two fodder block making units at a cost

of Rs.85 lakh per unit may be established and the

remaining funds of Rs.3.41 crore may be utilized

for setting up 100 mini feed mixing plants at a cost

of Rs.6.5 lakh per unit approximately, providing

subsidy of 50 per cent to the beneficiary. Further, re-

appropriation of funds from the component ‘Fodder

Block Making Units’ to other activities or for up-

gradation of existing cattle feed plants, is allowed

provided the feed produced in such cattle feed plants

is supplied to the animals inducted under the Special

Package at a subsidized rate.

(h) Fisheries Programme

10.1.8 It has also been decided to provide farmers in

the 31 districts with an opportunity for supplementary

income through fisheries by development/creation of

water bodies. A fisheries programme, initially in 100

ha. area in each of these 31 districts, may be taken up

under the existing scheme ‘Development of Freshwater

Aquaculture’. The scheme provides assistance for

construction of ponds and input costs for the first year.

As per norms, the capital cost per hectare comes to

Rs.2.00 lakh and input costs Rs.30,000. It has been

decided to double the existing subsidy of 20 per cent

in the case of general category farmers and 25 per

cent for SC/ST farmers to 40 per cent and 50per

cent respectively. As against the existing provision of

sharing of subsidy in the ratio of 75: 25 between the

Centre and the States, cent percent subsidy for the

farmers in these districts will be borne by the Central

Government. Renovation and repair of ponds is also

permissible activity under this component.

(i) Conducting Fertility Camp

10.1.9 It may not be necessary to take recourse to

estrus synchronization to bring animals into fertile

heat. Some of the animals suffering from sub-fertile

conditions may be brought into heat with minor

interventions such as provision of micro mineral

supplements, fat-soluble vitamins and antibiotic

therapy at an average cost of Rs.150/- per animal.

In this manner, more number of female animals can

be made fertile by spending less than the cost of

hormonal treatment for estrus synchronization. Funds

made available for breeding services component of

the Special Package may be utilized for the purpose.

(j) Pregnant Animal Feeding Programme

10.1.10 It provides for provision of nutritional support

to animals in later stages of pregnancy from sixth

month onwards by giving one kg. of cattle feed per

day. The feeding programme for pregnant animals

in their late pregnancy will lead to higher milk yield

following calving. Further, provision of one dose of

anti-helmentic during third trimester of pregnancy

and one dose during the first week after parturition

C H A P T E R 1 082

to improve the milk production capacity of the animals

has also been approved. Funds for the purpose at

the rate of Rs.1,010/- per animal may be met from

the savings available for breeding component of the

package.

(k) Goatery, piggery, poultry and sheep farming

10.1.11 In order to provide additional avenues

of generating subsidiary income to the affected

population in the identified districts, goatery, piggery,

poultry and sheep farming were also included in the

Special Package. The identified beneficiaries may

select these options depending on local conditions.

The details of goatery, piggery, poultry and sheep

farming are as follows:

(i) Goatery: Beneficiary will be provided

a unit of 40 does and 2 bucks with shed/

equipment, one year’s feed cost and health/

insurance cover, involving a total investment

will be available as subsidy and the balance

comes as bank loan. Out of the subsidy of

Rs.51,500/-, an amount of Rs.32,000/- is for

the induction of animals, Rs.9,640/- for shed

and equipments, Rs.5,400/- as feed cost

and Rs.4,060/- for health/insurance cover.

The component is envisaged to generate

an annual return of Rs.40,000/- from the

second year.

(ii) Piggery: Under this component,

three sows and one boar will be provided

involving a total investment of Rs.90,933/-

on cost of animals, shed/equipment, one

for procurement of animals and the remaining

for shed/equipments, feed cost and health/

insurance coverage.

(l) Pen and Cage Culture:

10.1.12 Pen and cage culture are modern fish

seed rearing technologies to increase fish

production. The productivity of fish seed can be

enhanced manifold by resorting to cage culture in

reservoirs. Similarly, pen culture is a low-cost and

effective technology suitable for rearing fish seed

from spawn to fingerlings stage within the reservoir

itself. An amount of Rs.15,000/-, including capital

expenditure of Rs.10,000/- and operative cost of

Rs.5,000/- is provided to produce fingerlings at

the rate of 13.2 kg/Cu.m. per crop per cage of 54

Cu.m. An amount of Rs.6,750/- will be provided as

subsidy and the remaining amount comes in the form

of bank loan. It is envisaged to generate an income

of Rs.21,384/- with a net profit of Rs.6,384/- from

these activities.

C H A P T E R 1 0 83

(m) Mitigation of Agrarian Distress in Idukki District and Development of Kuttanad Wetland Eco-system

10.1.13 These two packages are also parts of ‘Special

Livestock Sector and Fisheries Package for the Suicide

Prone Districts in the States of Andhra Pradesh,

Maharashtra, Karnataka and Kerala’. The total outlay

of ‘Mitigation of Agrarian Distress in Idukki District’ is

Rs.91.15 crore and that of ‘Development of Kuttanad

Wetland Eco-system’ is Rs.9.50 crore. In both the

cases Government of Kerala submitted a number of
