Scheme Overview

The Uttar Pradesh Animal Husbandry Promotion Scheme is a state-sponsored initiative implemented by the Animal Husbandry Department to promote livestock rearing among economically weaker sections. The scheme facilitates the establishment of viable goat (10+1 unit), poultry, and piggery farms through institutional credit linked with capital subsidy.

Key Objectives

• Augment rural income and create self-employment opportunities for landless laborers and small farmers.
• Enhance meat and egg production to meet state nutritional requirements.
• Promote scientific animal husbandry practices through departmental technical guidance.

Implementation Framework

The scheme operates through a bank-linked model where the department facilitates loan sanctioning from scheduled commercial banks and regional rural banks. The capital subsidy is released directly to the beneficiary's loan account after verification of unit establishment and physical inspection by the Veterinary Officer. Beneficiaries receive mandatory training at the nearest Veterinary Hospital or Krishi Vigyan Kendra prior to fund disbursement.
