3. SCHEME FOR POULTRY DEVELOPMENT
Poultry farming has developed on a commercial scale in the Western Districts
of Tamil Nadu with Namakkal as the hub of development. To replicate the
commercial success of Namakkal District and to develop poultry industry in nonpoultry backward regions, the Government of Tamil Nadu launched the Scheme
for Poultry Development during 2012-13 at a total outlay of Rs.22.35 crore. With the
successful implementation of the Scheme, it was continued with an allocation of
Rs.25 crore for development of poultry clusters for the year 2013-14.
State Government Subsidy
The State Government provides 25% front ended subsidy for establishing
Poultry farms. National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) and
commercial / nationalized banks and poultry integrators are closely involved in the
implementation of the Scheme. The Scheme is dovetailed with the existing Poultry
Venture Capital Fund scheme of the Government of India, wherein 25% back
ended subsidy is provided through NABARD to the individuals. The individual /
farmer / entrepreneur must raise the rest of the funds through his own sources or
through bank loans.
