What You Get
The scheme provides substantial financial support to beneficiaries for establishing and operating commercial broiler farms. This includes a direct subsidy of ₹15 per bird for up to six batches of broiler rearing, culminating in a total operational subsidy of ₹45,000 per beneficiary. In addition to the bird-related subsidy, an extra grant of ₹15,000 is provided specifically for fence construction, which is a critical component for ensuring farm security and bird safety. This brings the total direct financial assistance to ₹60,000 per eligible beneficiary. While the total unit cost for a minimum of 500 broiler birds is approximately ₹3.05 lakh, the scheme significantly reduces the financial outlay required from the beneficiary, making it more accessible to new entrants. Beyond the direct cash components, applicants receive indirect support through the application process itself, where Veterinary Officers assist in preparing project reports and facilitating bank submissions, streamlining access to necessary financial institutions and potentially other loans.

The committee assesses the feasibility and potential impact of the proposed broiler farm, with a stated preference for women and Self-Help Groups (SHGs). The final decision on beneficiary selection rests with this committee, after which the subsidy disbursement is initiated.
