ICAR-National Research Centre on Mithun, Nagaland, in collaboration with ICAR-National Dairy Research Institute, Eastern Regional Station, Regional Station, Karnal, organized a training programme and input distribution under the SCSP programme today at Chandanpur village, Birbhum district, West Bengal.
As part of the initiative, 100 live female Black Bengal goats were distributed to 100 Scheduled Caste (SC) farmers, particularly women, to support their livelihood through sustainable goat farming. Experts also delivered lectures on scientific breeding and management of goats, equipping farmers with essential knowledge for improved animal husbandry practices. Goats were also vaccinated and ear-tagged with the help of ICAR NDRI ERS staff.
The farmers expressed their gratitude to the Director, ICAR-NRC on Mithun, for this valuable support and showed great enthusiasm toward the conservation and upkeep of Black Bengal goats for livelihood enhancement.
This initiative reinforces ICAR-NRC on Mithun’s commitment to rural development, livestock conservation, and farmer empowerment.
