MESSAGE

It gives me immense pleasure to take note that the Gujarat is one of the leading states

contributing noticeable share in national livestock sector. The contribution of livestock

sector in State GDP during the year 2010-11 is 4.76% and its contribution to agriculture &

allied sector is 27.41 %. Total 42.66 lacs families keeps livestock as primary or secondary

source of income and contributed total ` 20434 crores in the state GDP during the year

2010-11.

I am proud to put on record that by collective effort of GLDB team we have got provision

of ` 5970.80 lakh in the state budget for year 2012-13 which is very signiicant increase of 1043.83% as compared to previous year (` 522.00 Lakh). The budget includes provision

for number of new schemes likes establishment of new frozen semen station in Saurashtra

region, establishment of breed-wise nucleus stock breeding farm, embryo transfer laboratory

for Gir and kankrej breed and Rural & Large Scale fodder development schemes.

In our state, 11.21 Lakh animal keeping families are from tribal area (27% of total). Source of their income is animal husbandry. As the Animal husbandry is most important tool of

poverty elevation, State Government has decided to improve genetic makeup of animal in

tribal area and ultimately to increase milk production and socio-economic status of tribal

families. State Government with the help of Central Government is going to implement the

livestock breed improvement programme in tribal area under “One Time Additional Central

Assistance” worth ` 10631.00 lakh.

There is noticeable increase (78%) in Artiicial Insemination centers in the State after establishment of GLDB (in last 10 Years). As per guidelines of NPCBB, state has fairly well established A.I network and breeding infrastructure. Despite having concerted efforts, we

have been able to cover only 35-40% of breedable population under Artiicial Insemination. However, GLDB has planned to double the A.I coverage in three years with co-operation

of all stakeholders involved in animal breeding services. GLDB had received ` 1122.95

Lakh under NPCBB Phase I and ` 2400.00 Lakh under NPCBB Phase II for strengthening breeding infrastructure in the State. A plan has already been chalked out to establish

2000 A.I centers under NPCBB–II to strengthen A.I network, particularly in the Kutchh, Saurashtra and tribal districts of the state.

Having all these efforts harnessed, our aim is to make Gujarat fountain head among milk

producing states of the India. Last but not least, I would like to appreciate and congratulate

all the concerned oficers and employees of Gujarat Livestock Development Board for their sincere efforts in preparation of annual report 2011-12.
