Banking scheme is expected to be a shot in the arm for yak husbandry
Two months after a scheme was worked out to insure them against the impact of climate change, the Himalayan yaks have now become bankable.
The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) has approved a credit plan for the high-altitude animal often referred to as “mountain cattle”. The scheme was developed by the National Research Centre on Yak (NRCY) at Dirang in Arunachal Pradesh’s West Kameng district.
The NRCY comes under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research.
