₹1.25 Lakh Dairy Farm Subsidy – Apply Now for 50% Financial Assistance to Start Your Dairy Business

The Social Welfare Department of Karnataka, through its various corporations, has opened applications for an exciting subsidy scheme aimed at encouraging dairy farming among economically weaker sections of society. Under this scheme, eligible beneficiaries can receive up to ₹1.25 lakh in subsidy (which covers 50% of the cost) to purchase two high-yield cows or buffaloes and begin their own dairy farming enterprise.

Dairy farming has long been one of the most stable sources of livelihood for rural families in Karnataka. With the growing demand for milk and dairy products, it not only provides a steady income but also supports nutritional needs at the household level. Recognizing its importance, the government is now offering targeted financial support to those who wish to take their first step into this sector.

Key Highlights of the Dairy Farm Subsidy Scheme

• Financial Support: 50% subsidy on the cost of two cows or buffaloes, up to a maximum of ₹1.25 lakh.
• Target Group: Economically weaker sections belonging to categories specified under the Social Welfare Department.
• Application Mode: Online submission through the official Seva Sindhu portal or via nearest Grama One / Karnataka One service centers.

Why Dairy Farming?

Dairy farming is more than just an agricultural activity – it’s a business opportunity that:

• Generates daily income from milk sales.
• Provides organic manure for farming activities.
