Recently, the Minister of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying informed the Lok Sabha about the progress and implementation of the National Digital Livestock Mission (NDLM), a key initiative aimed at digitally transforming India’s livestock sector.
About National Digital Livestock Mission
The National Digital Livestock Mission was launched by the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Government of India to create a comprehensive digital database of livestock and related services across the country. The mission has been implemented across all States of India to ensure nationwide coverage.
Aims of the Mission
The mission aims to enhance livestock productivity and breed improvement, strengthen disease surveillance and control, enable traceability of livestock products, and create a farmer-centric digital ecosystem for efficient delivery of livestock-related services.
Digital Backbone: Bharat Pashudhan Platform
The digital foundation of NDLM is the ‘Bharat Pashudhan’ platform, which includes mobile and web-based applications used by field workers. This platform supports real-time recording and monitoring of livestock-related activities at the grassroots level.
Key Features of Bharat Pashudhan Platform
Each animal is assigned a unique 12-digit bar-coded ear tag, which acts as its digital identity.
Field workers collect data related to animal registration, artificial insemination, breeding, ownership changes, vaccinations, disease reporting, milk recording, ration balancing, and e-prescriptions.
The system enables accurate, real-time data capture for better planning and decision-making.
Objectives of the National Digital Livestock Mission
Improving breeding outcomes suited to India’s diverse agro-climatic conditions.
Enabling real-time disease monitoring and control and establishing a robust traceability mechanism for livestock products.
Empowering farmers by providing easy access to information on government schemes and livestock-related services.
Significance of NDLM
The National Digital Livestock Mission strengthens data-driven governance in the livestock sector, improves service delivery, enhances farmer welfare, and supports sustainable growth of animal husbandry in India.
