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.
