Uttar Pradesh Mukhyamantri Pragatisheel Pashupalak Protsahan Yojana

What is the Mukhyamantri Pragatisheel Pashupalak Protsahan Yojana?

Mukhyamantri Pragatisheel Pashupalak Protsahan Yojana. The Chief Minister's Progressive Livestock Keeper Incentive Scheme; is one of the four schemes run under Uttar Pradesh's Nand Baba Dugdh Mission. The mission is a Dairy Development Department programme, implemented with the Animal Husbandry Department, and its overall goal is to raise milk production and per-animal productivity in the state.

This particular scheme works differently from the other three. Where the Nandini Krishak Samridhi Yojana, the Mini Nandini Krishak Samridhi Yojana and the Mukhyamantri Swadeshi Gau Samvardhan Yojana put money into buying animals and setting up dairy units, Pragatisheel Pashupalak Protsahan Yojana puts money into recognising results. The department measures the milk yield of animals entered by livestock keepers and awards cash incentives to the keepers whose animals record the highest verified yield.

The logic behind it is practical. Milk yield in Uttar Pradesh depends less on capital than on husbandry, breeding choices, balanced feed, clean sheds, timely veterinary care and correct milking practice. A competition that measures actual yield and pays the top performers creates a visible local example of what good husbandry produces, in a way that a subsidy cannot. The keepers who win become reference points for their own villages.

What does the scheme give?

Mukhyamantri Pragatisheel Pashupalak Protsahan Yojana gives a cash incentive paid by direct benefit transfer into the winning keeper's bank account. It is an award, not a reimbursement, so there is no bill to submit and nothing to buy.

The number of awards available in each district, the categories they are divided into, and the amount attached to each are fixed in the scheme guideline notified for the financial year on nandbabadugdhmission.up.gov.in. These figures are revised between years, and this guide does not restate a figure from an earlier year: read the current guideline on the portal before you enter.

What is consistent across years is the basis of the award: measured milk yield of a specifically identified animal, verified by a district team, not a self-declared figure.

Who is eligible for the scheme?

You can enter if:

• You are a resident of Uttar Pradesh and keep milch animals in the state.
• You own cows or buffaloes that are in milk at the time of the assessment.
• Each animal you enter carries an ear tag or INAPH animal identification, so the measured yield can be tied to that animal.
• You have a bank account in your own name, Aadhaar-seeded, for the direct benefit transfer.
• You can present the animal physically on the date the district team fixes for measurement.
• You enter within an announced window on the mission portal.

You are not eligible if:

• You are not a resident of Uttar Pradesh, or the animals are kept outside the state.
• Your animals are not identified by ear tag, because the yield then cannot be attributed to a specific animal.
• You cannot produce the animal for measurement. An animal that is not presented on the assessment date is dropped.
• The animal is not in milk during the assessment period.
• You enter outside an announced window, in which case the entry is not taken up at all.

Entering does not mean winning. The scheme is competitive by design: the district has a fixed number of awards, and the ranking is decided by measured yield.

What documents are required?

The ear tag is worth attending to early. Animals in Uttar Pradesh are tagged under the national animal identification programme through the veterinary service, and a keeper whose animals are untagged should get that done at the nearest veterinary hospital before the entry window opens rather than during it.

How to apply for the Mukhyamantri Pragatisheel Pashupalak Protsahan Yojana

1. Open nandbabadugdhmission.up.gov.in and check whether entries for the scheme are currently open. The mission announces windows; the scheme does not run continuously.
2. Read the scheme guideline for the current financial year on the portal, so you know how many animals you may enter, the award categories and the amounts.
3. Register on the portal with your name, mobile number and Aadhaar details, and verify the OTP sent to your mobile number.
4. Fill the online entry for Mukhyamantri Pragatisheel Pashupalak Protsahan Yojana, giving your district, your village, and the ear tag number, species and breed of each animal you are entering.
5. Upload the scanned documents — Aadhaar, residence proof, bank passbook page and photograph, and submit the entry.
6. Save the entry number and acknowledgement shown on screen.
7. Present the entered animals for milk yield measurement on the date fixed by the district animal husbandry and dairy development team. Measurement is normally done over consecutive milkings so that a single unusual reading does not decide the result.
8. Wait for the district result to be declared. Winning keepers receive the incentive by direct benefit transfer to the registered bank account.

How to enter offline or with help

1. Visit the Chief Veterinary Officer's office or the district dairy development office in your district headquarters with your documents and your animals' tag numbers.
2. Ask for help filling the online entry: there is no paper form, so district staff file it with you.
3. Collect a written acknowledgement carrying your entry number and note the date fixed for measurement.

Your village veterinary officer is usually the most useful single contact. That officer knows when the window opens, can tag untagged animals, and is often part of the measurement team.

How do I check my entry status?

Log back into your account on nandbabadugdhmission.up.gov.in and open the entry using your entry number. The portal shows whether the entry is submitted, scheduled for measurement, assessed, or awarded.

For the measurement date and the district result, the district dairy development office is the reliable source. Results are declared at district level and the file sits there.

Why do entries get rejected or dropped?

• Animal not ear-tagged, so the yield cannot be attached to an identified animal.
• Animal not presented on the fixed measurement date.
• Animal not in milk during the assessment window.
• Entry filed outside an announced window.
• Bank account not in the applicant's own name or not Aadhaar-seeded, which blocks the transfer even after an award is decided.
• Yield lower than the district cut-off. This is not a rejection but simply the competitive outcome, and the keeper can enter again in the next cycle.

The last point is worth understanding before you enter. Most entries do not win, because the number of awards per district is fixed. The scheme is still worth entering: the measurement itself gives you an official record of your animal's yield, which is useful when selling milk or animals.

Where do I complain?

Contact the Nand Baba Dugdh Mission on 0522-4251709, or by email at info@nandbabadugdhmission.up.gov.in, quoting your entry number.

In the district, the Chief Development Officer chairs the committees for the mission's schemes and is the right escalation point for a disputed measurement or a delayed payment.

For a tracked, time-bound response, file a grievance on jansunwai.up.nic.in against the Dairy Development Department, which issues a complaint number and requires a recorded reply.
