SAHJEEVAN AND THE BREED CONSERVATION THEME
Sahjeevan at Bhuj in Gujarat has been chosen to lead the ‘breed conservation
and development’ theme.
The organization has been chosen to lead the theme
‘breed conservation’, for its efforts towards getting the Banni breed of
Buffalo recognized have resulted in effective outcomes.
The organization has worked closely with livestock
community, the state government departments, the State University and the NBAGR
in the process and in last few years Sahjeevan has been working intensively
towards getting registered a new camel breed namely the Kharai camel in Kutch following
the same modus operandi.
Following the orgnanization’s interaction with the State
animal husbandry department with regard to breed conservation and registration,
the Gujarat Government has allotted it a task of identifying and getting registered
all the lesser known breeds pertaining to all the domestic livestock species within
the State. Special funds have also been allotted for the same.
The process is being adopted and replicated in other
states like Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh. In Karnataka, Sahjeevan is guiding an
NGO named Future Greens Samaste in getting registered a local buffalo breed
located along the Krishna river in Bhagalcote. Alongside, in Madhya Pradesh, Sahjeevan
is guiding a local NGO named AKRSP in evaluating a cowbreed located in Khandwa.
Besides this, SPS, an NGO located at about 150 km away
from Indore is working towards getting recognized a buffalo breed.
In all these processes local Veterinary/ Animal
husbandry departments are being involved so that the State Governments can carry
forward the process for other lesser known/undocumented breeds.
