Goat Farming Subsidy Scheme: Goat farming, which is now emerging as the fastest growing animal husbandry in India, has become a great opportunity for farmers. Many government schemes are being run to promote goat rearing. The central government has started the National Live Stock Mission (NLM) scheme to promote goat rearing, under which 50 percent subsidy is being provided to the farmers. This scheme promotes not only goat rearing, but also various animal husbandry sectors like sheep rearing, poultry rearing and pig rearing.
Farmers who want to start goat farming, but are unable to start it due to the fear of expensive investment, they can start goat farming by getting financial support under the NLM scheme. Also, if farmers want to apply under this scheme, they only need to prepare a project report and submit some necessary documents online.
