Can creation of separate ministries of animal husbandry, dairies and fisheries bring fresh momentum in growth? (Yahoo! Finance)

July 31, 2019


Yahoo! Finance published an opinion piece by Research Fellow Anjani Kumar and Research Analyst Smriti Verma on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s creation of a separate ministerial portfolio for animal husbandry. The authors described the previous oversight landscape and argued that this move could be potentially beneficial to an industry that is one of the key drivers of growth in rural incomes. Ultimately, the authors stated that the new ministry could extend certain benefits historically afforded to those farming crops to livestock farmers and should bring greater investment and cooperation across agricultural sectors. The article was republished in India’s Financial Express.
