Scientific poultry production in India gained momentum during the last 4 decades due to concerted efforts of the Government of India through policies, institutions and focused research and initiatives taken by the private sector.

Poultry Development The poultry sector has emerged from entirely unorganized farming practices to the commercial production system with state of the art technological interventions. Poultry sector, besides providing direct or indirect employment to people, is also a potent tool for subsidiary income generation for many landless and marginal farmers and also provides nutritional security especially to the rural poor.

Poultry Development The Centrally Sponsored Scheme on Poultry Development implemented by the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying & Fisheries (DADF) has 3 components namely (i) Assistance to State Poultry Farms, (ii) Rural Backyard Poultry Development and (iii) Poultry Estates (new component).
