Krishak Bakri Palan Yojana – Himachal Pradesh
Krishak Bakri Palan Yojana Himachal Pradesh Details
Krishak Bakri Palan Yojana is a flagship welfare scheme of the Himachal Pradesh Government aimed at strengthening rural income sources through goat farming. In many hill and rural areas, goat rearing has been a traditional livelihood for poor and landless families.
Recognizing this potential, the state government launched this scheme to provide financial support, training, and improved goat breeds to eligible beneficiaries. The scheme mainly targets economically weaker sections, including small farmers, landless laborers, unemployed youth, and women.
Under this scheme, selected applicants receive goat units at 60% subsidy, which helps reduce initial investment and encourages self-employment.
