Apart from farming, one of the major sources of income for the farmers is animal husbandry which the farmers have been doing for centuries. Nowadays, animal husbandry is being promoted a lot by the government as well. In Uttar Pradesh, farmers are also being given financial assistance to start animal husbandry. Let us tell you that the Yogi government of Uttar Pradesh has decided to provide assistance of Rs 40,000 for rearing cows and buffaloes through a special scheme.
In fact, the “Nand Baba Mission” has been started with the aim of promoting the dairy business in Uttar Pradesh. Indigenous ‘cow promotion scheme’ has been started under this mission, and with this scheme, cattle rearers will be able to buy Gir cow of Gujarat, Sahiwal of Punjab, and Tharparkar cow of Rajasthan easily. A full subsidy of up to Rs 40 thousand will also be given to the buyer on the purchase of these cows.
