Animal Husbandry Start Up Challenge

In view of this, the government is also making continuous efforts on its development. In the animal husbandry and dairy sector by the government, the 'Animal Husbandry Startup Grand Challenge' was launched to take it to new heights by bringing innovative ideas.

There are many possibilities in the dairy industry. The Father of the White Revolution, Verghese Kurien had proved that in the 1970s when his efforts managed to double the quantity of milk available for each person. Moreover, over a time of 30 years, the quantity of milk available was increased fourfold. This is indeed a testament to the fact that dairy production and animal husbandry is a sector that is teeming with possibilities.

In view of this, the government is also making continuous efforts on its development. In the animal husbandry and dairy sector by the government, the 'Animal Husbandry Startup Grand Challenge' was launched to take it to new heights by bringing innovative ideas. This is the government's initiative to challenge young minds in the agriculture sector to come up with ideas that can bring about changes in the real world.

Moreover, by encouraging young entrepreneurs, the government will also be able to increase job creation as unemployment continues to be a rising issue among the masses.

Animal Husbandry Is Teeming with possibilities

The government has been very encouraging of start-ups and innovative ideas following the 'Atma Nirbhar' campaign. India needs young and innovative people who can generate jobs and help keep the economy rolling. Particularly during the pandemic, there are increasing fears of inflation and of a stagnant economy. By encouraging this Animal Husbandry Start-Up Challenge, the government hopes to set the ball rolling in the agricultural economy as well. Generation of agricultural employment would encourage many more youths to take up the subject and become a part of a sustainable and more fruitful agricultural future.

The administration has now extended the deadline to apply for this challenge from January 15 to January 31, 2022.
