Download Scheme(In PDF Format)

Hi-Tech commercial Dairy as a new plan scheme is proposed to be implemented in the State starting from the year 2008-09. The scheme in principle stands approved by the Govt. It will be the part of the existing scheme of self employment and will be implemented with additional funds to be provided under the head and the detail of the scheme is as under:-

It needs no emphasis that India happens to be the goldmine of farm livestock resources. It possesses more than half of the buffalo population of the world with a majority of the recognized breeds. The Indian Dairy Industry with a large number of Dairy Entrepreneurs in rural areas has made a tremendous impact on the agrarian economy of the country. With present production level of 98 million tons milk per annum, India ranks first in t he world and 55% of the total milk produced comes from buffaloes. (The world trade in milk and milk products is about US$ 10 billion.) India's present export earnings from milk and milk products are mere 0.06 percent of global trade. The Agriculture and processed food products have a large scope in the global market. It is expected that through optimal utilization of resource base and the induction of advance technology Indian Dairy Production can scale new heights.

Haryana holds a special place in the field of milk production and it is truly known as the 'Milk Pail' of the country 80% of the State milk comes from buffaloes alone. The State is proud to be the home-tract of one of the best buffalo breeds of the world i.e. 'Murrah'. Buffalo has also been recognized to be the animal of the 21st Century and thus, systematic improvement of buffaloes for milk production of the country is a goregone conclusion. There is a great demand of this high yielding elite breed not only from within but outside the country as well. Most5 of the States procure breeding stock from Haryana for upgradation of their low producing buffaloes. The State is quite conscious of conserving, improving and fast multiplying this unique genetic stock of buffaloes by promoting breeding activities in the State.

Milk production in the State is 54.72 lac M.T. out of which 80% is contributed by buffaloes. The per head milk availability in the state is 660 gm per day which is 2nd highest next to Punjab. According to livestock census-2007, the buffalo population in the state is 60.00 lacs and that of cattle population 15.00 lacs.

The State has a vast potential of self employment generation in the sector of Animal Husbandry & Dairying. Establishment of dairy units of 3,5,10,20 milch animals can alone generate substantial employment (Direct or Indirect) wherein loan is provided by the banks & subsidy by Govt. Normally, one person gains full time employment by keeping 2-3 milch animals. Similarly, for unit of 5,10,20 milch animals the other members of the family also again employment. The State is having a well developed infrastructure of veterinary institutions catering to the needs of the livestock owners providing veterinary services round-the-clock at their doorsteps. The State is also self-sufficient in fodder production and rich in human resource for providing training to the farmers as well as the field functionaries.

The Department holds at every Sub Division in the State the regular 11 days dairy trainings for the persons interested in setting up of dairy units. Animal Husbandry is an integral part of Agriculture and next to Agriculture, is the major sector of employment. According to 18th Livestock Census-2007, about 22.27 lac families (Households) are engaged in livestock rearing alongwith agriculture. Though of these about 10.00 lacs families are drawing household income from tersary sector as major occupation even than are rearing milch animals or other livestock.

To boost up the milk production, fodder production and generation of more & more employments in the qairy sector, it is proposed to establish bigger dairies with minimum of 20 or more milch animals.

Commercial banks under Agriculture Finance w2ould finance the commercial dairy units. The marketing facility of milk is provided by HDDCF and other plant in the State. The model scheme for 20 milch animals would require the following amount or need based as demanded by the unit holder:-

Term loan Rs.8.5 lac
Working Capital Rs.2.5 lac

This amount is to be repaid in 7 years in 78 monthly installments with a moratorium period of 6 months.

The scheme is flexible and would be modified as per suitability of the farmer. Regarding rate of interest, the individual bank or banks would provide loan on preferential reduce rate as per guideline issued by RBI. Chiefly, the interest rate would be 2% less than the prevailing P.L.R., further 1% less for regular payees and further by 0.5% for women loanees. Further clarified that the financing banks would not charge any processing & other fees from farmers while sanctioning the loan.

The department would assist these dairy units in the following wayhs:-

Providing free trainings to the suitable dairy entrepreneurs.

Sponsoring of loan applications to banks.

iii

50% sharing of cost of insurance of dairy animals.

The subsidy @ 15% of the term loan to a maximum of Rs.1.50 lac to a commercial dairy unit would be provided.

Veterinary services at door step of farmers.

Arrangement of marketing of milk through HDDCP etc.

The subsidy on sanction of loan will be released in advance to the financing bank to be adjusted as back ended. The farmer will be asked to set up the unit in a period of three months and the health certificate of the milch animals would be produced by the concerned Vety. Surgeon. 50% cost of insurance premium will be born by the Govt. under the scheme for an initial period of 3 years. In case the loanees do not set up the commercial unit, the bank will refund the advance subsidy to the department. The department proposes to set up 200 such dairy units during the year 2009-10 in the State for which a sum of Rs.3.00 crores will be required under plan budget.
