Nyoma, December 22, 2025:
As part of the nationwide Good Governance Week (December 19–25, 2025), the Sheep Husbandry Department (SHD), Nyoma, organised an outreach and awareness programme at Nyoma Village to inform local residents about departmental schemes and opportunities for livestock development.
During the programme, Dr Mohd Sadiq, Assistant Director, Pashmina Goat Farm Nyoma, provided a detailed overview of various welfare and development schemes being implemented by the department. He encouraged local youth to take up sheep and goat rearing as a viable source of livelihood, highlighting its potential for economic sustainability in the region.
Dr Sadiq urged villagers to submit updated lists of interested breeders for upcoming initiatives, including sheep and goat units, predator-proof corrals, nomadic tents, and other support components under departmental programmes. He also elaborated on the Kisan Credit Card (KCC) scheme, emphasising its importance in providing easy and affordable credit to livestock farmers, and appealed to beneficiaries to make optimum use of the facility.
The programme was attended by the Nambardar of Nyoma, Goba members, and local villagers, who appreciated the department’s efforts to take government services and information directly to the grassroots.
The initiative aimed to enhance transparency, awareness and service delivery—key objectives of Good Governance Week—while reaffirming the administration’s commitment to strengthening traditional pastoral livelihoods in the Changthang region.
