India has a bovine population of over 300 million, with 43 cattle breeds and about 16 buffalo breeds. The Government of India introduced the Rashtriya Kamdhenu Aayog to preserve and promote effective species. The scheme was introduced under the Rashtriya Gokul Mission, which will help dairy farmers to get discounted prices for the interbreeding and IVF breeding of their cattle. The objective here is to increase milk production while preserving genetic resources.
The Rashtriya Kamdhenu Scheme is an upcoming scheme by the Central Government to preserve the cattle breed and increase milk production through the latest sustainable technologies. The project will be from 2021-22 to the next five years. The project will help dairy farmers to start new farms of up to 50 cows and get subsidies for breeding through IVF.
