During Nov 2023 the implementers made some changes in the Breed Multiplication Scheme (RGM), Govt of India, launched during Oct 2021. The scheme continues till Oct 2026 unless withdrawn by GOI.
These changes are very relevant for the dairy farmers / entrepreneurs, aspiring for the BMS to establish BMF of 200/ 50 animals, adopting advance breeding and balanced feeding techniques, for producing high yielding disease-free heifers of cows and buffaloes in India. Figure 1 indicates the changes made in the capital allocations.
This is one its kind scheme, which is completely online and needs very limited support from technical service providers. From uploading applications, documents and getting approval from GOI, every steps are detailed under the scheme. Means very few technical support is needed till getting the application approved. Of course implementation needs lots of technical support from AH Department and dairy business consultant.
The applicant's of this scheme must keep one thing in their minds that the scheme is being implemented by NDDB (National Dairy development Board), an organization which works methodically and efficiently with strong commitments and dedication, hence only the genuine applicants, who really has the resources to manage large dairy farms on technical parameters, adopting advance breeding and balanced feeding techniques would succeed in getting sanctions from DAHD, GOI. I can confidently say this on the basis of my own experience of working in NDDB for 3 decades. My belief is further strengthened after seeing the returned BMF applications by the "Team scrutiny of NDDB". They are doing a great job.
