Goat Unit Subsidy (10+1) for Scheduled Caste Beneficiaries — Up to ₹45,000

This is a livestock subsidy run by the Department of Agriculture, Farmers Welfare & Co-operation, Government of Gujarat. It is built for adult members of the Scheduled Caste community in the state who want to begin a small goat-rearing activity and earn from it.

The support is tied to a fixed unit design: ten female goats and one male goat. The state pays half of the unit cost, capped at ₹45,000, and the beneficiary arranges the other half. The cost that gets counted includes the animals plus the running needs of the unit — food, water, fodder, shelter and concentrate feed.

There is no fixed window to apply through; the scheme runs on a rolling basis, so an eligible applicant can file whenever they are ready to set the unit up. The wider purpose behind the scheme is to strengthen the finances of poorer livestock keepers in the Scheduled Caste community and to build lasting rural livelihoods in Gujarat.
