The National Livestock Mission (NLM) supports eligible livestock entrepreneurs in Ladakh through capital subsidy assistance for poultry farming, sheep and goat development, feed and fodder projects, and related livestock enterprises. Because NLM assistance generally supports only part of an approved project's cost, beneficiaries often need additional funding for infrastructure, equipment, or working capital. For livestock owners holding gold assets, a gold loan may also serve as an alternative financing option, without requiring business financials, subject to applicable eligibility criteria, documentation requirements, and lender policies. For larger investment requirements, a business loan may help fund project costs not covered by subsidy support, subject to applicable eligibility criteria and lender assessment.
