PRESS NOTE
Meat
industry in India
has great economic potential but could not get adequate attention for its
growth and development. However, it is envisaged to achieve 10% growth rate in
meat sector during 11th Five Year Plan period.
Based on the assessments and recommendations made by Standing Committee
of Parliament, Planning Commission and Inter Ministerial Committee on Leather
Sector Development, etc the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying & Fisheries is
launching the following new schemes:
- Central
Sector Scheme (New) - Salvaging and rearing of male buffalo calves.
- Centrally
Sponsored Scheme (New) - Utilization of fallen animals
- Central
Sector Scheme (New)- Piggery Development scheme
Another new
scheme launched in 2009-10 on pilot basis in three states, namely Uttar
Pradesh, Meghalaya and Andhra Pradesh is the
Centrally Sponsored scheme ‘Establishment/
modernization of rural slaughter houses. Brief details are as below:
(i)
Salvaging and rearing of male buffalo calves
So as to save milk,
male buffalo calves are underfed by the buffalo owners leading to stunted
growth due to parasitism and untimely deaths. Annually, country losses about 8 million such male buffalo
calves. The scheme intends to utilize
this valuable stock for meat production by rearing them for meat production and
developing linkages with export-oriented slaughter houses in the potential States
of Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chattishgarh, Jharkhand, Kerala, Madhya
Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Rajasthan, Uttar
Pradesh, Punjab and West
Bengal.
Initially, this
scheme will be implemented during the remaining 2 years of XI plan with an
outlay of Rs.121.62 core. Scheme
is proposed to be implemented through NABARD under capital subsidy mode.
Major components and their funding pattern, unit costs, etc are as below:

|

|
The scheme is expected to generate substantial
quantity of meat, hides and by-products and also provide direct and indirect
employment to people in feed, fodder, meat, leather and various input services.
(ii) Utilization of fallen animals
The
meat importing countries insist for creating facilities for proper disposal of
slaughter waste and fallen animals as a sanitary measure. The Central Leather Research Institute
(CLRI), Chennai has reported annual mortality of 24 million large animals and
17 million small ruminants and further estimated colossal loss of Rs. 985 crore per annum due to
non-recovery/ partial recovery of hides/ skins and other by-products in the
country. This new scheme proposes to establish carcass utilization centers in
animal density matrix areas and is expected to provide employment to poorest of
the poor.
This
scheme with an outlay of Rs.75 Scheme will be launched shortly after obtaining
approval of Finance Ministry. Scheme is
proposed to be implemented through NABARD under capital subsidy mode. Major

(iii)Piggery
Development (including Resource Mapping in 100 Potential
Districts and Promotion of Entrepreneurial Programme

Pigs in India are reared by poorest of the poor in villages. The Parliamentary Standing Committee has
directed the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying & Fisheries to take
up Piggery Development to support livelihood of poorest tribal, particularly in
NER States. To
supplement the Common Minimum Programme of the
Government, Scheme is aimed to assist farmers/ landless laborers, cooperatives,
etc. by rearing of pigs under stall fed condition for quality pork production
and organized pork marketing in rural and semi-urban areas.

iv) Establishment/ modernization of rural slaughter houses
The slaughter houses are aimed to be established /modernized in rural
areas and smaller towns nearer to livestock production areas for producing
wholesome and hygienic meat for supplying to the cities/ towns. This way, the loss in the
meat sector due to transportation of live animals, shrinkage of meat and
environmental pollution in the cities will be prevented. The employment opportunities for further use
of fresh hides and skins in the tanneries in vicinity of the slaughter houses
will boost production of quality leather. This scheme is being implemented in
three states, namely Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Meghalaya,
initially on pilot basis with an outlay of Rs.48.50 crore
during XI plan. This scheme being implemented by NABARD has the following
