Grant-supported goat, pig, backyard poultry, broiler and duckling units (with help for an animal shed) for rural families; Scheduled Tribe beneficiaries can get a 100% grant from the Welfare Department’s share.
Official pages describe the units, priority groups and selection but do not print the current subsidy percentages in text; news reports mention 50% to 90% depending on category. Confirm with the block office.
Who is eligible for Pashudhan Vikas Yojana?
- Farmers and livestock keepers living in Jharkhand (local residence certificate needed).
- Priority to Scheduled Tribes, Scheduled Castes, BPL families, divyang persons and Sakhi Mandal (SHG) members; other categories also get the benefit as per rules.

- The share of grant differs by category and by unit; ask the Block Animal Husbandry Officer for the current rate before you pay your share.
