- Yes, Animal Husbandry is an important sub-sector of Indian agricultural economy and plays a multifaceted role in providing nutritional and livelihood support to the rural population. Livestock sector apart from contributing to national economy in general and to agricultural economy in particular also provides employment generation opportunities, asset creation, coping mechanism against crop failure and social and financial security. Value of output of milk is more than Rs. 12.21 lakh crore during 2023-24 (As per National Accounts Statistics 2025), which is the highest of the agriculture produce and even more than the combined value of Paddy and Wheat.
The above answer was given by Shri Rajeev Ranjan Singh alias Lallan Singh, Minister of Fisheries,Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Government of India, in response to a question asked in the Rajya Sabha.
