Entrepreneurship Development: Promoting rural enterprises in dairy, poultry, piggery, and goat farming—enabling “farm-to-fortune” success stories.
-
Sex-Sorted Semen (SSS) Technology: Introducing game-changing breeding innovations to achieve 90% female calf births and increase milk productivity by 20–30%.
-
Feed & Fodder Security: Expanding high-yielding fodder crops, establishing silage units, and integrating fodder cultivation with SHG women’s livelihood programs.
