National Livestock Mission (NLM)
The National Livestock Mission program is being carried out by the Department of Animal Husbandry & Dairying, Government of India, as of the 2014–15 fiscal year. The NLM plan has been updated and repositioned for F/Y 2021–2022 in light of the sector’s current needs. Under the broad heading of the Development Program, the updated National Livestock Mission (NLM) plan seeks to boost per animal productivity, create jobs, foster entrepreneurship, and enhance the production of meat, goat milk, eggs, and wool. Once domestic need is satisfied, the extra output will aid in export revenues. The idea of the National Livestock Marketing Scheme is to train entrepreneurs to link the organized sector with the produce accessible in the unorganized sector both forward and backward.
