| Work Detail | State level awareness cum strategy meet to promote livestock rearing under Dairy Entrepreneurship Development Scheme (DEDS) and National Livestock Mission (NLM) – Entrepreneurship Development & Employment Generation (EDEG) was held on September 7 at The Eastgate Hotel, Kohima. The meet was jointly organised by the Department of Animal Husbandry & Veterinary, Nagaland, and National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD). Commissioner & secretary, M.K. Mero and additional director, Dr. Viral Yore, both from Department of Animal Husbandry & Veterinary, Nagaland along with general manager, NABARD, A. Chakrabarty were the main speakers of the programme. During the meeting, the schemes were explained and highlighted through Powerpoint presentations. Participants were informed that there was 33.33% subsidy under DEDS and 50% subsidy for SC/ST entrepreneurs was being offered under NLM-EDEG for pursuing poultry, piggery, cuniculture (rabbit farming), goat farming etc. In addition to rearing of livestock, entrepreneurs were encouraged to take up rearing of heifer calves, vermin-composting, milk processing, establishment of private veterinary clinics, setting-up of dairy marketing outlet/dairy parlour, pig/rabbit/poultry bird breeding farms, retail pork outlets/ feed mixing units, etc. for which subsidy was available. To give a boost to dairy, piggery, poultry, cuniculture and related activities through bank loan under the credit linked capital subsidy schemes of government of India, it was decided to adopt activity based cluster approach to ensure effective implementation, monitoring, viability and visibility. Further, it was decided that group approach, especially Joint Liability Group (JLG), would be adopted for linking the livestock farmers to banks for credit support. The chief veterinary officers (CVOs) of all the districts were requested to conduct awareness programmes on DEDS and NLM-EDEG in their respective districts in collaboration with banks, insurance companies and NABARD for the benefit of livestock farmers. They were also requested to identify potential activity based clusters to facilitate various interventions including trainings of the identified livestock farmers. Earlier, managing director, Nagaland State Dairy Co-operative Federation Ltd. (NSDCF) Dr. Rongsen, chaired the programme and additional director, Department of Animal Husbandry & Veterinary, Dr. Minthungo Shitiri, pronounced the vote of thanks. The programme was well attended by all the major stakeholders including banks, insurance companies and progressive livestock farmers from different parts of the state. |
