Introduction:
Bundelkhand spread over southern Uttar Pradesh (U.P.) and northern Madhya Pradesh (M.P.), between 23°10′ and 26°30′ north latitude and 78°20′ and 81°40′ east longitude. The region covers a geographical area of around 70,000 sq km and includes seven districts of U.P. namely Jhansi, Lalitpur, Jalaun, Hamirpur, Mahoba, Chitrakoot and Banda and six districts viz.,Datia, Tikamgarh, Chhatarpur, Panna, Sagar and Damoh of M.P. The economy of Bundelkhand is largely dependent on agriculture and animal husbandry, owing to its predominant rural population. Agriculture in Bundelkhand is rainfed, diverse, complex, under-invested, risky and vulnerable, which in turn affects rearing of animals also. In addition, extreme weather conditions, like droughts, short-term rain and flooding in fields add to the uncertainties which further leads to seasonal migrations from rural to urban areas. A same phenomenon replicates in case of animals also, especially cattle, they left open in the fields and ruins the crops. This practice of leaving unproductive animals in open is called “The Anna Pratha”, prevailing in Bundelkhand region since ages but currently it acquired the terrific turn and proves to bevery destructive to the agriculture. According to available records of District Banda, Mahoba, Chitrakoot and Hamirpur there are total 2,21,328 anna pashu, for their conservation and protection we have 1008 gaushala established either by state Govt or public initiatives. In these gaushalas only 1,70,051 anna pashus are being conserved, but at the same time these establishments requires lots of financial support and are having their own unique types of constraints and problems. Keeping in view, there is an urgent need to develop a sustainable and profitable model for anna pashu conservation using optimal utilisation of locally available resources through participation of community. To standardize this concept, University has taken initiative to formulate an in-house project entitled “Natural Farming Inputs Production for Conservation of Unproductive Indigenous Cattles of Bundelkhand Region” with following objectives:
Objectives:
- To establish anna pashu model conservatory named “Kamadgiri Nandi-Nandini Abhyaranya” at BUAT, Banda
- To assess and optimize low cost open grazing cattle rearing model
- To increase the profitability of anna pashus through production of natural farming inputs and value added cow dung based hand-crafted products development.
- To check uncontrolled breeding of undisruptive breeds through segregation and selective breeding for breed up-gradation.
