Meghalaya Piggery Development Scheme

Why it matters

Set up or expand a piggery unit with state capital subsidy support — pork is a staple livelihood activity across Meghalaya's farm households.

What you get

Pig rearing is a traditional and economically significant livestock activity for a large share of farm households in Meghalaya, and the Piggery Development Scheme, delivered via the PRIME Meghalaya platform, provides capital subsidy support to farmers and entrepreneurs setting up or scaling up piggery units. Assistance typically covers a share of the cost of pig sheds, breeding stock procurement, and feed infrastructure, helping improve breed quality and production scale beyond traditional backyard rearing. The scheme is part of the state's broader livestock-sector push under the CM ELEVATE umbrella, recognising piggery as a fast-payback, locally relevant enterprise for rural households.
