National Programme for Bovine Breeding and Dairy Development

The NPBBDD has been formulated by merging four ongoing schemes of the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries in the dairy sector. These are the National Project for Cattle and Buffalo Breeding (NPCBB), Intensive Dairy Development Programme (IDDP), Strengthening Infrastructure for Quality and Clean Milk Production (SIQ and CMP) and assistance to cooperatives. This has been done to integrate milk production and dairying activities in a scientific and holistic manner for attaining higher levels of milk production and productivity, to meet the increasing demand for milk in the country.

Components of the scheme

National Programme for Bovine Breeding and Dairy Development (NPBBDD) has the following three components.

  • National Programme for Bovine Breeding (NPBB)
  • National Programme for Dairy Development (NPDD) and
  • Rashtriya Gokul Mission.

Component-wise objectives of the scheme

National Programme for Bovine Breeding

  • To arrange quality Artificial Insemination services at farmers' doorstep
  • To bring all breedable females under organized breeding through Artificial Insemination or natural service using germplasm of high genetic merits
  • To conserve, develop and proliferate selected indigenous bovine breeds of high socio-economic importance
  • To provide quality breeding inputs in breeding tracts of important indigenous breeds so as to prevent the breeds from deterioration and extinction

National Programme for Dairy Development

  • To create and strengthen infrastructure for production of quality milk including cold chain infrastructure linking the farmer to the consumer
  • To create and strengthen infrastructure for procurement, processing and marketing of milk and milk products
  • To create training infrastructure for training of dairy farmers

  • To enhance milk production and productivity of indigenous bovines.
  • To upgrade nondescript cattle using elite indigenous breeds like Gir, Sahiwal, Rathi, Deoni, Tharparkar, Red Sindhi.
  • To distribute disease free high genetic merit bulls of indigenous breeds for natural service.
