Assam Milk, Meat and Egg Mission (under CMSGUY)

Why it matters

Helps farmers set up or improve small dairy, poultry and meat-rearing units so the state — and the farmer's household income — relies less on supplies from outside Assam.

What you get

Implemented as a key project under the Chief Minister Samagra Gramya Unnayan Yojana (CMSGUY), the Assam Milk, Meat and Egg Mission supports farmers in setting up or scaling up dairy, poultry and other livestock-rearing units, as part of the state's broader goal of self-sufficiency in milk, fish, poultry and pork by 2030. Assistance includes support for milch animals, poultry units, and in some cases price support such as additional payment per litre of milk procured through state dairy cooperatives, helping rural households build a stable livestock-based income alongside crop farming.
