BHAKTAPUR: The District Livestock Services Office, Bhaktapur, has
launched a pig-exchange programme with a view to increasing the income
of poor and Dalit community people residing in the rural area of the
district.
The programme was launched to develop a concept of commercial piggery
and encourage Dalit community for generating income through it, said
Chief of the office, Shiva Bahadur KC.
The programme will be conducted in Nagarkot and Sipadol VDCs and for
this, the selection of two groups for the piggery was also concluded,
he said.
The office will provide 20 piglets each to both the groups, and the
farmers have to return each of the piglets to the office after the
pigs produce babies which will be distributed to other Dalit community
turn by turn, said KC.
