Why Empowering Women through Animal husbandry ?
Animal husbandry, particularly goatery, plays a crucial role in enhancing women’s livelihoods in India. Approximately 70% of rural households in India engage in livestock rearing, with women contributing significantly. In regions like West Bengal, goat farming provides a viable income source, requiring low investment and offering quick returns. Studies show that women involved in goatery can increase their household income by up to 30%, thereby improving their financial stability and social status.
Bharatiya Jana Seva Mission stands out as premier NGO working for women empowerment in India, it focuses on creating self-reliant women entrepreneurs in sectors like animal husbandry specially goat rearing. Through its commitment to sustainable livelihoods, the organization empowers women by providing skill development, mentorship, and business opportunities. Our targeted efforts ensure long-term impact, transforming marginalized women’s lives by fostering economic independence and community growth across rural India.
