Integrated Piggery and Dairy Development Scheme

Why it matters

Helps farming families set up or expand small piggery and dairy units alongside their crops to earn a steady extra income from milk and livestock.

What you get

This scheme supports farming households in Arunachal Pradesh, where piggery and dairy are traditional and culturally significant livelihoods, to set up or upgrade small-scale integrated livestock units. Assistance typically covers improved breed animals, basic shed construction guidance, and veterinary support, encouraging farmers to combine crop residues and farm by-products as animal feed (an integrated farming approach) so that livestock income supplements crop income, particularly for smallholders in the state's hill districts.
