Srinagar The Jammu and Kashmir administration has introduced an integrated sheep development scheme (ISDS) for promoting the sheep farming sector, media reports said on Tuesday.

Various reforms and initiatives like ISDS were introduced for modernisation and promotion of the sheep farming sector and strengthening of commercial activities and output of the sector which provides the means of livelihood to about 12 lakh families in the UT, read a statement issued by the UT's administration.

ISDS is one of the schemes of Sheep Husbandry Department aimed at not only achieving breakthrough in wool and mutton production but also addressing the problems of unemployment across Jammu and Kashmir.

The aim of the administration is to increase livestock productivity and production in a sustainable manner and focus on untapped potential for the export and value added products, it added.

A college dropout from Sheikpal Watrina area of district Bandipora, Mumtaza set up a 50-odd sheep unit under ISDS in 2020.

“There are two men working in my farm on a monthly salary of 9000 each,” she told ANI.
