The  Department  of  Animal  Husbandry  and  Dairying  is  implementing  Centrally  Sponsored Scheme Rashtriya Gokul Mission (RGM) for development and conservation of indigenous bovine breeds since December 2014. Under the Scheme, several scientific technologies have been made accessible to the farmers such as sex sorted semen (for production of female calves with 90% accuracy), IVF technology for production  of  animals  with  high  genetic  merit  at  a  faster  rate  and  genomic  selection.  The  scheme  is important in enhancing milk production and productivity of bovines and to meet growing demand of milk and  making  dairying  more  remunerative  to  the  rural  farmers  of  the  country.  The  scheme  is  leading  to multiplication of elite animals of indigenous breeds and increased availability of indigenous stock.\

The  Department  is  implementing  National  Programme  for  Dairy  Development  (NPDD) across  the  country  since  Feb-2014  with  an  objective  of  creating/strengthening  of  infrastructure  for production of quality milk, procurement, processing and marketing of milk & milk products by the State Implementing Agency (SIA) i.e. State Cooperative Dairy Federations/ District Cooperative Milk Producers' Union.  This  year,  the  scheme  has  been  restructured  and  from  2021-22  to  2025-26  the  focus  will  be  on quality improvement with installation of bulk milk coolers and strengthening of milk testing facilities for State  Cooperative  Dairy  Federations/  District  Cooperative  Milk  Producers'  Union/SHG  run  private dairy/Milk Producer Companies/Farmer Producer Organisations.

The Central Sector Scheme Supporting Dairy Cooperatives and Farmer Producer Organizations engaged in dairy activities (SDCFPO) was launched during 2017-18. The scheme is being implemented by National Dairy Development Board (NDDB). Main objective of the scheme is to assist the Cooperative  Societies  and  farmer  producer  organizations  engaged  in  dairy  activities  by  providing  soft working  capital  loan  to  tide  over  the  crisis  on  account  of  severely  adverse  market  conditions  or  natural calamities. Due to Economic Impact of Covid-19 on Dairy Sector, Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and  Dairying  has  introduced  a  new  component  'interest  subvention  on  Working  capital  loans  for  Dairy sector'  as  one  of  the  component  with  an  outlay  of  Rs  20  Crore  for  2020-21.  Temporarily,  the  other component  namely  'working  Capital  loan'  was  kept  in  suspension  during  2020-21.  As  on  02.07.2021, NDDB have conveyed sanction of Interest Subvention amount of Rs 150.58 Crore against working capital loan amount of Rs 10588.64 Crore @ 2% p.a. and released Rs 71.63 Crore as interest subvention amount.

Dairy Processing and Infrastructure Development Fund (DIDF) scheme is being implemented by the department with objective of Creation/ strengthening of Milk Processing, Value addition & chilling facilities with total outlay of Rs. 11,184 Crore including loan outlay of Rs 8004 Crore; NABARD disburse loan to  NDDB/ NCDC which is then disbursed by NDDB /NCDC to End Borrowers. GoI provide 2.5% interest subvention to National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD). As on 31.05.2021 40  projects  in  11  states  has  been  approved  with  total  outlay  of  Rs  4957  Crore.  Out  of  this  amount  loan component is Rs. 3381 Crore. Till 30.5.2021, Rs.1157 Crore. Loan has been disbursed to End Borrowers and Interest subvention released by GoI to NABARD is Rs. 54.59 Crore.

National  Animal  Disease  Control  Programme  for  control  of  Foot  &  Mouth  Disease  and Brucellosis (NADCP) is a Central Sector Scheme, with an outlay of Rs 13,343 Crore for five years and was launched by Hon'ble Prime Minister on 11th September, 2019. The programme aims to control FMD and Brucellosis  by  2025  with  vaccination  and  eventual  eradication  of  FMD  by  2030.  The  FMD  results  in  a reduction  of  milk  production  which  is  a  direct  loss  to  the  farmers.  So  far  around  17  crores  of  cattle  and buffalo has been vaccinated against FMD in the country.

Poultry sector in India is divided into highly organized commercial sector. 80 % of the total market share is organized commercial sector and the rest is unorganized. The organized commercial sector contributing  80  %  is  already  modernized  and  technically  improvised.  However,  Department  of  Animal Husbandry  &  Dairying,  is  implementing  'Entrepreneurship  development  and  employment  generation' (EDEG) under NLM Under which, a component called, Poultry Venture Capital fund (PVCF) for which includes  credit  cum  subsidy  linked  activities  is  implemented  through  NABARD.  Under  this  component establishment of composite Backyard Poultry unit having parent farm, mother unit and Hatchery unit can be established.

Further,  to  increase  the  Poultry  production  under  National  Livestock  Mission  financial assistance  is  provided  to  States/  Union  Territories  Governments  for  implementation  of  Rural  Backyard Poultry  Development  (RBPD)  and  Innovative  Poultry  Productivity  Project  (IPPP).  These  programmes envisage the components which take care of the shelter, feed, medicine, equipments, litter etc. to improve the living conditions of the Poultry birds.

Also  for  increasing  the  production  of  Poultry  products  and  Dairy  Products  Department  of Animal Husbandry and Dairying (DAHD) is implementing Animal Husbandry Infrastructure Development Fund (AHIDF) of Rs 15000 crores which was announced under Honorable Prime Minister's Atma Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyan stimulus package. The Animal Husbandry Infrastructure Development Fund (AHIDF) has been  approved  for  incentivizing  investments  by  individual  entrepreneurs,  private  companies,  MSME, Farmers Producers Organizations (FPOs) and section 8 companies to establish (i) the dairy processing and value addition infrastructure,  (ii)  meat  processing  and  value  addition  infrastructure  and  (iii)  Animal  Feed Plant.
