Livestock and dairy schemes

The Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying (DAHD) runs three big central programmes for animal keepers and agri-entrepreneurs. Together they cover the full range: free breeding services for the ordinary farmer, capital subsidies for new livestock farms, and cheap credit for processing plants. Farm-level subsidies flow through the Udyamimitra portals; breeding services come through your state animal husbandry department.
