Piggery Farming Scheme (HSFDC)

The Piggery Farming Scheme, initiated by the Haryana Scheduled Castes Finance and Development Corporation (HSFDC), aims to uplift individuals from Below Poverty Line (BPL) families by providing them with financial assistance for piggery farming. This initiative is designed to promote self-employment opportunities in both rural and urban areas of Haryana.

About the Piggery Farming Scheme

Launched by the HSFDC, the Piggery Farming Scheme is a comprehensive program established to support individuals from Scheduled Castes in Haryana. The HSFDC was registered under the Companies Act of 1956 on January 2, 1971, and it operates as a wholly government-owned entity, with a 51% shareholding by the State Government and a 49% by the Government of India. The scheme targets individuals whose annual family income does not exceed ₹1,80,000, ensuring that financial aid is directed toward those who need it most.

Under this initiative, the corporation extends loans and benefits specifically for self-employment ventures like piggery farming. A significant feature of this scheme is the subsidy offered, which amounts to 50% of the total project cost, capped at ₹10,000.

• Subsidy: A subsidy of 50% of the total project cost, with a maximum limit of ₹10,000.
