OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES ON DAIRY ENTREPRENEURSHIP
DEVELOPMENT SCHEME
1. Background
1.1. Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries, (DAHD&F) GoI during the
year 2005-06 launched a pilot scheme titled “Venture Capital Scheme for Dairy and Poultry”.
The main objective of the scheme was to extend assistance for setting up small dairy farms
and other components to bring structural changes in the dairy sector. Assistance under the
scheme is extended in the form of Interest Free Loan (IFL) to individuals, SHGs, NGOs,
Cooperatives, companies for selected components. As on 31 March 2010, 15368 units were
extended IFL assistance of Rs 146.91 crore through out the country.
1.2. An evaluation of the scheme revealed that the scheme had created a major impact in the
area of financing of milch animals in some States and the farmers at ground level derived
benefit from the scheme. The study has recommended to remove the restrictive clause on
financing of milch animals in Operation Flood areas. Further, there are requests from many
quarters including farmers, State Animal Husbandry Departments and banks to convert the
mode of implementation of the scheme from IFL to capital subsidy mode.
1.3. After detailed discussions with all the stakeholders, it has been decided by DAHD&F,
the nodal department to change the mode of implementation, revise the existing unit costs
and bring some more components for assistance under the purview of the scheme. As the
scheme aims at promoting entrepreneurial qualities, the revised scheme has been named as
“Dairy Entrepreneurship Development Scheme”(DEDS.)
2. Objectives of the scheme
o To promote setting up of modern dairy farms for production of clean milk
o To encourage heifer calf rearing thereby conserve good breeding stock
o To bring structural changes in the unorganized sector so that initial processing of milk
can be taken up at the village level itself.
o To bring about upgradation of quality and traditional technology to handle milk on a
commercial scale
o To generate self employment and provide infrastructure mainly for unorganized
sector.
3. Implementing period and Area of operation
