DCBS offers extensive trainings on rearing of Black Bengal Goats under Livelihood Entrepreneurship Development Program (LEDP). Till date we have trained about 150 goat farmers in Sundarban with the support of NABARD (National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development), Govt. of India.  After completion of training, the trainees formed Joint Liability Groups (JLGs) and established a scientific goat farm. DCBS also supports the formation of farmers’ producers’ organizations (FPO) which brings together all goat farmers at one place for collective actions, better management, linkages, and resource mobilization from local agencies, and better collective marketing. DCBS facilitates and makes linkages with local bankers, and livestock development department of state government for offering necessary support to the goat farmers.
