In conclusion, the IRDP Milk Cattle Scheme raised the income level of the selected beneficiaries significantly and achieved the objective of raising the resources and income level of the vulnerable sections of the population by providing them with productive assets and access to credit. Further, participation in the scheme led to improved nutritional status for the children under six years old of the beneficiary group compared to their non-beneficiary counterparts. This was achieved directly as a result of income generation through the scheme and indirectly by increased awareness and utilization of ICDS and primary health care services by the beneficiary group.
