Goat Farming: Low Capital, High Profit, Government Support for Rural Self-Reliance
- •RSETI Director Anil Kumar highlights goat farming as a profitable venture for rural employment and income, requiring low capital and offering quick returns.
- •Goats are termed 'poor man's cow' due to ease of rearing and consistent market demand, providing an alternative income source amidst rising cultivation costs.
- •RSETI offers free or low-cost training covering breed selection (Jamunapari, Barbari, Black Bengal, Sirohi), housing, fodder, disease control, and market strategies.
- •Government schemes like Kisan Credit Card and Animal Husbandry Loans, along with subsidies, provide financial assistance for starting goat farming.
- •Goat farming generates income from meat, milk, manure, and offspring, contributing to economic strength and potentially curbing rural migration.
