| dc.description.abstract | The present study was conducted to assess the impact of livestock development schemes in Haryana. The respondents included beneficiaries of various state government scheme, non-beneficiary dairy farmers and veterinarians. The respondents were selected from two different agro climatic zones in methodical way with appropriate randomization. There were hardly any difference between beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries except in terms of extension contacts, mass media exposure and economic motivation. There were significant differences between beneficiary and non-beneficiary respondents in terms of adoption and knowledge scores about improved technologies. Also, similar differences were observed in terms of productivity of animals reared, incomes, perceived social status, etc. It was opined that cause and effect aside, there seems to be a strong correlation between extension contact, economic motivation, mass media exposure and output in terms of higher productivity and incomes. Adoption of schemes like IMDP and CDIC seemingly made a significant impact on productivity in terms of milk yield, conception rate, calving interval and dry period. However, it was conjectured that this could partly be attributed to selection of high potential animals which is required in the scheme. Similarly, scheme for establishment of Hi-tech & Mini-dairy unit was also having positive impact on milk yield, income from milk, employment, perceived improvement in social status, adoption of clean milk production practices , etc. A majority of beneficiaries of Insurance scheme were satisfied with scheme in general but were partially satisfied insofar as delay in claim settlement and claim amount was concerned. The scheme for providing employment opportunity to Scheduled Caste was seemingly highly successful given the finding that beneficiaries were having more than doubled the supplementary income as compared to non-beneficiaries scheduled caste respondents. Nearly three fourth of beneficiaries of Pashu Kisan Credit Card scheme agreed that animal feeding improved after availing this scheme. It is argued that the coverage of schemes should be expanded to include greater number of livestock farmers as the number of beneficiaries was on the lower side in general. Simplification in the procedures for schemes is also advocated. There seems to be a need to streamline job responsibilities of field veterinarians. | en_US |
