Scheme for the establishment of Backyard Poultry units for the

year 2018-19
The State has a vast potential of self employment generation in the
animal husbandry sector. The provision of this scheme has been made in State budget
with an objective to improve the socio-economic status of the small farmers and
landless agricultural labourers as well as other economically weaker section of the
society. The detail of the scheme is as under:-
Description of the Scheme and its objects

Backyard poultry is a handy enterprise with negligible initial investment,


however good economic return along with a guarantee for improving nutritional status
of the members of beneficiary family. This scheme is being proposed in the Annual
Plan 2018-19 keeping the following peculiarities in view:-
i. Low initial investment with higher economic returns
ii. A unit can be started with as low as two chicks to a large flock upto 50 birds
iii. Feeding cost is negligible due to better utilisation of agricultural by-products,
leftover food items and grains in the households
iv. Eggs and birds can be sold in local market fetching handsome returns because
of ever growing demand for organic chicken and eggs
v. Consumers are willing to pay higher price for high quality desi chicken meat or
egg
vi. These backyard poultry units would act as ready ‘ATM’, because the birds and
eggs can be sold at any time anywhere with cash payment
Justification for the Scheme

Presently, poultry production is more or less an industry with more than


60% poultry birds being kept by large commercial breeders whereas the remaining
40% birds are reared by mostly small farmers, landless, labourers and weaker sections
of the society. The department is only providing techno-advisory services to the
poultry entrepreneurs/large commercial breeders. But, keeping in view the
peculiarities of backyard poultry and its benefits, this scheme is being proposed with
an aim to supplement the income of the resource poor beneficiaries and also to
provide nutritional support to their family members.
Annual objectives & impact expected:-
i. Long term objective of this Scheme besides employment, is to provide
nutritional security which will also play an important role in gender
empowerment and social up-liftment.
ii. To supplement the income of the families of the resource poor beneficiaries.
iii. To improve nutrition status of beneficiaries and their family members.

The department proposes to implement this scheme with an amount of


Rs. 50.00 lac having components as tabulated below with inter component flexibility--

urgent need to improve the backyard poultry farming by introducing sturdy poultry
birds, which can survive when raised with low inputs. Therefore, the department from
its own hatchery will provide 8-10 days old, 50 birds to each beneficiary family free
of cost at their door step. Further, provision has also been made for the supply of two
water drinkers and two feeders to the beneficiary family free of cost. In addition,
provision has also been made for transportation of chicks at the door steps of the
beneficiaries. Two water drinkers and two feeders would be purchased by Deputy
Director of concerned district and the same would be supplied to the beneficiaries.
Roll out of the Scheme in terms of Commencement of Activities
The department would assist the beneficiaries in establishing Backyard
poultry units for which a list of such beneficiaries from amongst the small farmers,
landless agricultural labourers and other economically weaker sections of the society

to Veterinary Surgeon, I/C Government Veterinary Hospital in the format as annexed
as Annexure I. The Government Poultry hatchery at Hisar will be further strengthened
