Employment and Income Generation through Dairy Production: A Study of Rewa District, Madhya Pradesh
Abstract: This research paper analyzes the role of dairy production in generating rural employment and income in Rewa district of Madhya Pradesh, India. Primary data were collected from 100 dairy farmers using a structured questionnaire and personal interviews. The study reveals that dairy farming serves as a stable source of income and employment for rural households. About 45% of households earn a monthly income between ?5,000 and ?10,000, and dairy farmers earn significantly higher income than non-dairy farmers (p<0.01). Women actively participate in dairy activities in 55% of households, contributing to their economic empowerment. Major constraints include fodder scarcity (65%), inadequate veterinary services (60%), and price volatility (45%). Only 55% of farmers have benefited from government schemes. Based on the findings, policy recommendations include promoting silage technology, strengthening cooperatives, women-centric training, and breed improvement.
