* **Total Output:** Annual milk production in the state rose from 79.01 lakh tonnes to 125.93 lakh tonnes over 11 years.
**Impact Analysis**
**Stakeholder: Farmers**
**Impact**
Farmers benefit from reduced costs for advanced breeding technologies, doorstep service delivery, and financial incentives for successful pregnancies. Increased animal productivity leads to higher daily milk yields and improved income.
**Action Required**
Farmers should participate in fertility camps, training programs, and workshops to adopt AI and IVF technologies and claim available financial incentives.
**Stakeholder: Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying (State/Central)**
**Impact**
The department is responsible for managing the Rs 113.60 crore assistance and maintaining infrastructure like the Hissar IVF lab and semen stations. They have successfully overseen a significant rise in the indigenous cattle population and milk productivity.
**Action Required**
Continue implementing the revised Rashtriya Gokul Mission (2021-22 to 2025-26), focus on HGM bull distribution to semen stations, and maintain awareness campaigns such as milk yield competitions and calf rallies.
**Stakeholder: Livestock Breeders and Scientists**
**Impact**
There is a structured framework for the scientific development and conservation of indigenous breeds (Hariana and Murrah). Scientists have access to indigenously developed sex-sorted semen technology and IVF facilities.
**Action Required**
Focus on the continued production of disease-free HGM bulls through Progeny Testing and Pedigree Selection to ensure long-term genetic improvement.

RASHTRIYA GOKUL MISSION IN HARYANA
Posted On: 01 APR 2026 2:06PM by PIB Delhi
As per Livestock Census, the indigenous cattle population including non-descript in Haryana has
increased from 8,12,013 to 9,49,541 between 19th and 20th Livestock Census that is an increase of 16.94
%.
Haryana is participating under Rashtriya Gokul Mission and Central Assistance of Rs 113.60 crore has
been released to the State for implementation of the scheme. The support extended to Haryana under
Rashtriya Gokul Mission for development and conservation of indigenous breeds and enhancement of
milk production and productivity along with creation of breed improvement infrastructure are as under:
(i) Nationwide Artificial Insemination Programme: The programme aims at enhancing AI coverage and to
deliver quality Artificial Insemination Services (AI) at farmer’s doorstep. As on date 9.41 lakh Artificial
Insemination performed (AI) covering 6.36 lakh animals and 4.7 lakh farmers.
(ii) Accelerated Breed Improvement Programme using sex sorted semen: Sex sorted semen of indigenous
breeds is promoted under the programme. Under the component incentive upto 50% of the cost of sex
sorted semen on assured pregnancy is made available to farmers. Launch of Indigenously Developed Sex
sorted semen production technology: Indigenously developed sex sorted semen production technology has
been launched and with this technology cost of sex sorted semen is reduced from Rs 800 to Rs 250/ dose.
(iii) Implementation of In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Technology: the Department of Animal Husbandry
and Dairying, Government of India has established 1 IVF lab at Hissar for rapid genetic upgradation of
indigenous breeds of the State including Hariana breed of cattle and Murrah breed of buffalo and as on
date 535 viable embryos have been produced.
(iv) Accelerated Breed Improvement programme using IVF technology is initiated to deliver technology at
