About 75% of the households are below poverty line (BPL) and 24% are absolutely landless. These Tribal families depend on subsistence agriculture. The major contribution to their livelihood is from Non-Timber Forest Product (NTFP) collection, small livestock rearing like goat and backyard poultry. It adopts micro watersheds as a unit of planning and implementation with community participation for livelihood promotion including farm, off farm and non-farm enterprise interventions. Therefore there is a dependency on nonfarm activities like goatery and poultry for supplementary income. The tribal rear goats, sheep, pigs, poultry birds, cattle etc. in a traditional way. Therefore the Govt. has given the thrust in this aspect of animal husbandry so as to rear genetically improved breeds of goats, sheep, pigs, cattle and poultry birds. It may be necessary to take up scientific rural poultry production programmes by introduction of low input technology dual purpose birds & improved broiler farming to meet the

requirement of the rural sector where the poultry farming constitute a source of subsidiary occupation, generating subsistence income to boost the nutritional standards, income levels and health of rural masses.
