Description
Haryana holds a prominent place on India's livestock map, despite being one of the smallest states, covering only 1.3% of the country’s total geographical area. The state's strong focus on animal husbandry plays a crucial role in boosting its rural economy. Livestock activities in Haryana contribute significantly to income generation, employment opportunities, and socio-economic development for rural communities.
The sector is instrumental in providing draft power, essential for agricultural operations, while also improving household nutrition through the supply of milk, eggs, meat, and other animal-based products. Dairy farming is especially prominent in Haryana, with the state being one of the highest milk producers in India, often referred to as the "milk pail" of the country.
In addition to dairy farming, poultry and meat production also form a crucial part of the state's livestock activities. This focus on animal husbandry not only sustains rural livelihoods but also enhances food security and nutrition, contributing to overall human development. The government of Haryana continues to implement policies that support and promote livestock activities, ensuring their sustained growth and contribution to the state’s economy.
