Chhattisgarh State & Chhattisgarh Kamdhenu Vishwavidyalaya (CGKV) Chhattisgarh is the 26th state of the Indian Union and was created on 1st November 2000. The state has an area of 135,190 km2with a population of 25.5 million. At current prices, Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) of Chhattisgarh stood at Rs 3.64 trillion in 2019-20. GSDP of the state at current prices grew at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 10.98 percent between 2011-12 and 2019-20. The state possesses 12 % of India’s forest area and 44% of the state’s land is under forest coverage. The one-third population of Chhattisgarh is of tribes. About 76.75 percent of the State’s population lives in rural areas, largely dependent on agriculture and allied activities for livelihood. The state thus accords high priority to agriculture and rural development. The people below the poverty line comprise 39.53 % of the total population in the state. The state is divided into three agro-climatic zones viz, Chhattisgarh plains, Baster plateau and Northern hills covering 51%, 28% and 21% of total geographical area. Agriculture (including crops, livestock, fisheries, forestry, and mining) is the main source of livelihood for the rural people in the state. The sector contributes about one-third to the state’s gross domestic product (GDP) and engages over 70% of the labour force. Agriculture is practised in 35% of the geographical area and is largely rain-fed. Rice is the main crop occupying about 70 % of the area but has poor yields. The rural economy in the state is dominated by small farmers (< 2 ha) comprising over 75 percent of the total farm households. The average size of land holdings in the state is 1.4ha and is likely to decline with increasing population pressure. Under such a scenario, crop production alone cannot provide an adequate livelihood to the majority rural population. Livestock could emerge as an important source of income and employment for the rural poor. They act as a buffer against income shocks of crop failure which is a frequent phenomenon in Chhattisgarh. Livestock provides a continuous stream of outputs and thus income from livestock helps consumption smoothening. Species like poultry, quails, goat, sheep, rabbits, and pigs are the short-generation interval, have a high prolificacy rate, and require less land, investment, operational expenses and are better suited to the resource endowment of the poor. Cattle and buffalo are an important source of manure and draught power, which are vital for improving crop production and the environment. Chhattisgarh is rich in livestock wealth. In 2019, it had 99.83 lakh cattle, 11.74 lakh buffaloes, 40.04 lakh goats, 1.80 lakh sheep, 5.26 lakh pigs, and 187.12 lakh poultry birds. The livestock sector contributes about 23 percent of the value of agricultural sector output. A majority of the rural households possess one or another species of livestock. The distribution of livestock holdings is more equitable as compared to land, indicating that the poor have more opportunities in livestock production than in crop production. Livestock, however, is low-producing. milk yield of a cow as well as of buffalo is about half of the national average. Low yield is due to a lack of adoption of technology, feed scarcity, and inadequate Directorate of Research Services CGKV Accession No: CGKV/2020/1130 1 Annual Reports| 2019 animal health services. For instance, only 3% of the in-milk cows in the state belong to crossbreds, much less compared to the national average of 22%. Similarly, the livestock units per veterinarian in the state are about 36000 as compared to the national average of about 8000. Nevertheless with appropriate technological, institutional, and policy support livestock sector has considerable potential for growth and thereby could be an important pathway for poverty reduction. Rapid economic growth as being witnessed in the state is causing a shift in the food consumption basket in favor of livestock products, which offers considerable scope to raise livestock production and productivity. There are considerable opportunities for the poor to augment their income and employment through livestock production. Sustained income growth and rising urban population are causing a change in the food consumption pattern in favor of high-value commodities like fruits, vegetables, milk, meat, eggs, and fish. Between 1983 and 1999, per capita milk consumption in India increased by 70% and meat consumption by 45% as against a decline of 12% in cereal consumption. In Chhattisgarh, per capita consumption of milk and meat in 1999 was only 22% and 27% of the country’s average partly because of lack of local supplies. Nevertheless, with robust economic growth and increasing urbanization demand for livestock products in the state is likely to increase faster shortly. Small farmers have a higher stake in livestock production as they control 88% of the poultry, 67% pigs and small ruminants, 59% cattle, and 57% buffaloes. The growth in livestock production is driven by markets. Three is a promising opportunity for the poor to participate in the market economy and improve their livelihood. Due to the above reason, Chhattisgarh Kamdhenu Vishwavidyalaya (CGKV) was established by his Excellency, the Governor of Chhattisgarh state, on11thApril 2012 with the promulgation of the Chhattisgarh Kamdhenu Vishwavidyalaya Act, 2011 after bifurcation of Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur, CG.
