Sheep Rearing Programme

The Sheep Rearing Programme is designed to provide sustainable livelihood opportunities for rural families through livestock development. Through this initiative, we established Mydukur Farmers Producers Company Limited and identified 500 members from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. We formed 100 Joint Liability Groups (JLG) with 5 members each, and with the support of NABARD, provided subsidized loans through nationalized banks to help them start sheep rearing activities. This programme has provided crucial financial support to poor families, enabling them to establish sustainable income sources through livestock rearing.
