A MoU has been signed between DoRD (Department of Rural Development) and DAHD (Department of Animal husbandry & Dairying)
Highlights:
The MoU is for leveraging the SHG platform for rural financial increase via the convergence of the Ministry of Fisheries, the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Animal Husbandry and Dairying and the National Rural Livelihoods Mission.
According to the memorandum of understanding, DAHD also decided to adopt a new accreditation model called A-HELP (Accredited Agent for Health and Extension of Livestock Production) to use SHG members as livestock resource personnel and major service providers.
This model will be carried out throughout the country using the current cadre developed under DAY-NRLM for livestock (Pashusakhis) by offering further training and accreditation as A-HELP workers.
