Nyoma: As part of the nationwide Good Governance Week (19–25 December 2025), the Sheep Husbandry Department, Nyoma, organised an outreach and awareness programme today at Nyoma Village to educate local residents about various departmental schemes and opportunities available for livestock development.
During the programme, Dr. Mohd Sadiq, Assistant Director, Pashmina Goat Farm Nyoma, delivered an in-depth briefing on multiple welfare and development schemes offered under the Sheep Husbandry Department (SHD). He urged the youth of Nyoma to actively participate in sheep and goat rearing, highlighting its potential for livelihood generation and long-term economic sustainability in the region.
Dr. Sadiq also encouraged villagers to submit updated lists of interested breeders for upcoming initiatives such as sheep/goat units, predator-proof corrals, nomadic tents, and other support components under various departmental programmes.
In addition, he explained the benefits of the Kisan Credit Card (KCC) scheme, stressing its role in providing accessible and affordable credit to livestock farmers. He appealed to villagers to take full advantage of the scheme for expanding and improving their herds.
The event was attended by Nambardar Nyoma, Goba members, and local villagers, who appreciated the efforts of the department for bringing essential information directly to the community.
The programme aimed to promote transparency, awareness, and improved service delivery—core objectives of Good Governance Week—while reinforcing the administration’s commitment to supporting traditional pastoral communities in Changthang.
