Webinar on Camel Rearing Enterprsip: Government Support up to ₹50 Lakh under NLM Scheme
Build a profitable camel-based business with government support up to ₹50 lakh under the National Livestock Mission (NLM) Scheme.
Supporting Livestock-Based Entrepreneurship
Camel husbandry, once a traditional livelihood in the arid regions of India, is now emerging as a modern enterprise opportunity. With rising interest in camel milk, wool, organic leather, and dung-based products, camel rearing offers considerable potential for small and medium livestock entrepreneurs. Similarly, the wool sector—particularly in the processing, spinning, and value-added products segment—offers untapped economic possibilities for rural and tribal populations.
The NLM Scheme is designed to provide structured support to such ventures, including capital subsidies, infrastructure support, and technical handholding. Entrepreneurs engaged in camel or wool enterprises can receive funding up to ₹50 lakh depending on the scale and type of the project.

- Dr. Pramod Kumar Kaushik, Assistant Commissioner (NLM), DAHD

Empowering Rural India through Livestock Innovation

The center plays a vital role in commercializing research outputs from ICAR-CSWRI and facilitating enterprise development in the animal husbandry sector.
The emphasis on camel and wool-based enterprises in this webinar is not only timely but also aligned with the government’s push towards “Atmanirbhar Bharat” and doubling farmers’ income. Given the ecological suitability of camel rearing in desert regions and the sustainable use of wool as a natural fiber, the sectors offer environment-friendly, inclusive growth avenues.
