The team interacted with community to assess existing livelihood practices and to inform them about the project’s objectives of promoting sustainable income generation from dairy cooperative model.
During the interaction, the team was informed that around 80% of households are already engaged in dairy-related activities, making dairy the most viable and high-potential sector for immediate income improvement.
The project team highlighted the possibility of establishing a community-based dairy unit in the village. The villagers were briefed about how DST-SEED support can assist them in capacity building, enterprise development, equipment supply, and creating formal livelihood groups.
