## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF FISHERIES, ANIMAL HUSBANDRY AND DAIRYING (SHRI RAJIV RANJAN SINGH ALIAS LALAN SINGH)

- (a)  Under the National Livestock Mission (NLM), 50 per cent capital subsidy upto Rs.50 lakh under  Entrepreneurship  Development  Programme  (EDP)  is  provided  for  livestock-based enterprises for the following activities and subsidy ceiling:
- Poultry Project: Up to ₹25 lakh
- Sheep & Goat Farming: Up to ₹10 lakh to ₹50 lakh
- Pig Farming: Up to ₹15 lakh to ₹30 lakh
- Fodder Projects/ Fodder seed processing and grading infrastructure units: Up to ₹50 lakh
- Horse/Camel/Donkey Breeding: Up to Rs 3 lakh - ₹50 lakh

(b)  and  (c)  The  Department  of  Animal  Husbandry and Dairying,  Government  of India has suspended  acceptance  of  fresh  applications  under  the  NLM -EDP  through  the  NLM Udyamimitra  Portal  since  08.07.2025.  Keeping  in  view  of  the  closing  of  15 th Finance Commission cycle, the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Government of India, is presently making concerted efforts to ensure timely completion of ongoing/pending projects so  that  the  second  instalment  may  be  released.  New  projects  under  NLM-EDP  are  not considered  for  approval  as  it  would  not  be  feasible  for  the  beneficiaries  to  complete  such projects  by  31.03.2026.  Therefore,  the  Department  of  Animal  Husbandry  and  Dairying, Government of India, has decided not to open the portal.

(d) The total number of applications received, approved, pending and rejected under NLMEDP till date, State-wise is placed at Annexure I.

(e) The subsidy is released directly to the beneficiary. The details of State/UT wise amount of subsidy approved and released is placed at Annexure II.

(f)  Under  the  NLM-EDP  activity,  the  NLM  Udyamimitra  Portal  has  been  established  to streamline  the  application  process,  ensuring  smooth  submission,  tracking,  and  approval  of proposals.  Additionally,  the  Department  of  Animal  Husbandry  &  Dairying  (DAHD), Government of India, has developed an advanced dashboard to promote transparency, enhance efficiency,  and  enable  real-time  monitoring  of  projects  under  the  scheme.  To  support entrepreneurs, the National Livestock Mission Help Desk has been set up in the state to assist with  online  form  submissions  and  address  related  issues.  Further,  Central  Level  Bankers Committee (CLBC) has been established to track applications pending with banks.
