Prani Sampad Samruddhi Yojana: Small Scale Goat - Sheep Farming (10+1 Capacity) - Introduction

The scheme helps small, marginal farmers, and landless labourers build a steady income through goat or sheep farming. It focuses on uplifting weaker sections, especially SC and ST families, by making small-scale animal husbandry easy to start and manage.

For 2026-27, the unit cost has been fixed at ₹ 1,10,000/- per unit. The total project cost for the year is ₹ 1515.00 lakh, and the scheme will cover 2340 individual farmers. District officials like Chief District Veterinary Officers (CDVOs) and Block Veterinary Officers (BVOs) guide beneficiaries at every stage, from site selection to subsidy release.

Key Information

Benefits

The scheme provides a solid financial foundation for a goat or sheep farming venture. For 2026-27, the total unit cost is ₹ 1,10,000/-. Here is the estimated cost breakdown:

Beneficiaries can receive a significant subsidy based on their category:

How the money is released: Funds are sent via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) in two installments. The first phase of 40% of the subsidy is released after the shed is ready, and the second phase of 60% is released after the animals are stocked. Those who already have a shed can get the subsidy in a single phase after stocking the animals, with the shed component deducted. Make sure your Aadhaar card is linked to your bank account for a smooth transfer. For any item costing ₹ 20,000/- or more, payment must be made online (RTGS/NEFT/UPI) and the transaction receipt kept for verification.
