Garhwa: A district-level committee has approved the list of beneficiaries selected under the Mukhyamantri Pashudhan Vikas Yojana and the state’s Pair of Bullocks Distribution Scheme for 2026–27.
The committee met at the Collectorate on Tuesday under the chairmanship of Deputy Commissioner and District Magistrate Pashupati Nath Mishra. Officials reviewed the progress of schemes run by the Animal Husbandry and Dairy Development divisions, including applications received, applicants’ eligibility and compliance with selection criteria. Proposals for beneficiaries found eligible under the rules were approved.
The Animal Husbandry Division reported physical progress of 524 beneficiaries under the goat development scheme (8+2), 126 under the pig development scheme (4+1), 207 under the broiler poultry scheme, 109 under the backyard layer poultry scheme, 302 under the duckling distribution scheme, 81 under the sheep-rearing scheme and 47 under the pair of bullocks scheme.

Mishra directed officials to ensure that benefits reach eligible people transparently and impartially, in accordance with prescribed criteria and departmental guidelines.
