Executive Summary

The National Protein Supplement Mission [NMPS] has been launched

by the Government of India, Ministry of Agriculture in 2011-12 essentially as

a means of livelihood for the landless and marginal farmers. The scheme was

launched to generate employment and to promote better health care

management practices for higher productivity and high return among the

goat rearer. The scheme provides the gottary operators financial as well as

technical assistance to improve the quality of the production.

In Madhya Pradesh the scheme was initiated in 2011-12 in four districts

namely– Jabalpur, Betul, Khargone and Dhar. In 2012-13 additional 19

districts were added under the scheme. Farmers eligible for assistance under

the scheme will be those who are maintaining at least 10 or more goats for

over a year. A unit size of 95 females and 5 male goats will be provided to the

selected beneficiaries. The provision has been made for metal feeders, health

cover package, vitamin and mineral supplementation and insurance cover for

animals supplied under the scheme.

The department wanted to have quick feedback on the implementation

of the scheme. Therefore, on the advice of the department only one district–

Betul was selected for survey. Tool was prepared and pilot tested in Raisen

district. The study covers 15 beneficiaries, selected randomly, from 8 blocks

and 15 villages.

Due to Betul being a tribal district, most of the beneficiaries belong to

the schedule tribe and schedule caste. All the beneficiaries under the scheme

were from Below Poverty Line (BPL). More than 50% beneficiaries under the

scheme were found illiterate. Assistant Veterinary Field Officer played an

important role in the dissemination of the awareness and information about

the scheme. As per the guideline, the subsidy amounts in all the cases were

paid to the beneficiaries through the bank.

As per the guideline of the scheme, three month old goats are to be

provided but kiddings of this age were not available in the market. Due to

this beneficiary have to purchase female goat at average price of Rs. 2680 and

male goat at average price of Rs. 3640 against the provision of Rs. 1200 and

Rs. 1800 respectively under the scheme.

In all cases shed was built, but not in accordance to the guideline. The

shed were built using cement concrete. In all the cases primary health

checkups were done and proper vaccination and medicines were provided.

None of the beneficiaries were provided with finisher feed for the goats due

to the non availability in the market. Only 27% beneficiaries (four out of

fifteen) received the metal feeder under the scheme and even these

beneficiaries were not using them. In place of silage pit, all the beneficiaries

have constructed a concrete tank and none of them were using this so called

silage pit for the purpose it was intended.

Since the initiation of the scheme in 2011, no efforts were made by the

Department for the capacity building and enhancing the awareness about the

scheme. Even the officials of the department lack the knowledge about the

details of various components of the scheme. Provisions for capacity building

should be made for the officials as well as beneficiaries under the scheme. The

cost of the components under the scheme was also not revised since the

initiation of the scheme. Age of kidding for purchasing and their purchasing

cost should be revised in the guideline. Beneficiaries were interested in hybrid

male goats but were not able to purchase due to high price. Silage pit

component also need consideration for revision because silage pits are mainly

used in the rain fed areas. But due to the availability of grazing areas

throughout the year in Betul district, beneficiaries were reluctant to store

fodder in silage pit. Similarly, component of metal feeder also need a fresh

look because it was not being used as envisaged under the scheme. Finisher

feeds were unavailable in the market, efforts should be made to arrange and

supply the feed. Further financial assistance could be provided through the

loan. Bank linkages could be formed under the scheme.

3.7 Size of Unit

received

Under the scheme in

betul district, 87 percent

of the beneficiaries were

provided full unit size (95

Female goats and 5 male

goats), whereas due to

the insufficient resources

with the beneficiaries, 13 percent beneficiaries were provided with the half

unit size (47 female goats and 3 male goats).

available in the market cost Rs. 24/kg.

3.8.5 Metal Feeder

One of the

components of the

scheme is to provide

metal feeders to the

4.1.3 Capacity Building

Since the initiation of the scheme in 2011, none of the step was taken by the

Department for the capacity building and enhancing the awareness about the

scheme. Even the officials of the department lack the knowledge about the

details of essential components of the scheme.

4.2 Recommendations

1. Silage pits are majorly used in the rain fed areas, due to the availability

of grazing areas throughout year, beneficiaries are reluctant to store

fodder in silage pit.

2. Component of metal feeder should be modified.

3. Cost and age of Goats should be revised in the guideline.

4. Further financial assistance could be provided through the loan. Bank

linkages could be formed through the scheme.

5. Finisher feeds are unavailable in the market, efforts should be made to

arrange and supply the feed.

6. Induction of hybrid male goats could be made under the scheme.

7. Provisions for capacity building should be made for the state and

district level officials under the scheme

8. There is a necessity of capacity building for beneficiaries also.
