Abstract:

Development of livestock production is very well connected with the watershed development activities. These are intended to equip production for the prioritized proportion of population in the drought-hit watershed villages. This is providing alternative and additional income opportunities and also created employment opportunities through mixed livestock and crop production technology. Enhancement of livestock production through watershed activities attained by a holistic approach which was addressed not only productivity-based activities but also other allied activities. Institutional systems with people’s participation played a key role in meeting the main objectives of the watershed programme in general and livestock development in particular. This has become a promising tool to achieve unprecedented problems like unemployment and livelihoods development through asset creation especially in drought prone districts like Ananthapuramu and YSR Kadapa.
