Frequently asked questions
How much funding does the Establishment of Broiler Farms scheme provide?
Is there a deadline to apply?
No. The scheme runs on a rolling basis and is always open, so there is no closing date to race against. Applications are taken up through the local Veterinary Officer or Livestock Extension Officer in your area.
Who is eligible for this subsidy?
You need to be a resident of Uttarakhand, of any caste. You must either own the land for the farm or hold it on a lease, and you must have a bank account with KYC certification, because the subsidy is paid straight into that account. Women applicants and Self-Help Groups are given preference during selection.
Does the scheme take equity in my farm?
No. This is a government subsidy, so the ₹60,000 is financial assistance and not an investment. You do not hand over any ownership stake, and there is nothing to repay.
Is ₹60,000 enough to set up the whole broiler farm?
It covers part of the cost. A unit with a minimum of 500 broiler birds comes to roughly ₹3.05 lakh, so the subsidy meets a share of that and you arrange the rest. The Veterinary Officer prepares a project report that you can take to a bank to seek the remaining finance.
What documents do I need to submit?
You will need a copy of your Aadhaar card for identity, bank account details such as a passbook or statement for the subsidy transfer, and land records showing ownership or a lease agreement. These go in with the completed application form, along with the project report drawn up with the Veterinary Officer's help.
How does the application process actually work?
It is entirely offline. Start by contacting your local Veterinary Officer or Livestock Extension Officer, who identifies eligible beneficiaries and provides the form. Once you submit the form and documents, the officer helps prepare your project report, which you then take to a bank. The papers are forwarded to the Chief Veterinary Officer's office, where a District Executive Committee verifies everything and selects beneficiaries. Approved subsidy amounts are then credited to your bank account.
What kind of farm does the scheme support?
It supports commercial broiler (meat chicken) rearing, with a unit built around a minimum of 500 birds. The funding covers two things: the cost of rearing the birds across batches, and the fencing that keeps the site secure.
Do women and Self-Help Groups get any advantage?
Yes. The scheme was designed with a strong focus on empowering women and SHGs, and both are given preference when the District Executive Committee makes its final selection of beneficiaries.
Where do I go to apply?
Applications are routed through the Department of Animal Husbandry's local machinery — specifically your Veterinary Officer or Livestock Extension Officer, who issues the form and guides you through the project report. The scheme's official page is also listed on the government's myScheme portal.
