The Indian government has rolled out an exciting scheme for people looking to start or grow their goat farming business. Called the Bakri Palan Business Loan 2025, this plan helps farmers get money easily to buy goats, build sheds, and buy feed. Forms for applying have just started, and many banks are ready to help. This is part of the bigger National Livestock Mission, which wants to make rural people earn more money and create jobs. With low interest and big subsidies, it’s a great chance for villagers and young people to start their own work.
What is the Bakri Palan Scheme All About?
This scheme is made for anyone who wants to do goat farming as a business. Goats are easy to raise, need less space, and give good income from milk, meat, and even manure. The government knows that many people in villages can do well with this. Under the plan, you can get loans from ₹4 lakh up to ₹50 lakh, and sometimes even more for bigger farms. Banks like SBI, NABARD, and others are giving these loans with simple rules. The best part is that you can pay back over 3 to 7 years in easy monthly parts.
Who Can Apply and What Are the Benefits?
Anyone can apply if they are a farmer, part of a self-help group, or even a young person from the village. Women and people from SC/ST groups get extra help. You need some land, either your own or on rent, and a simple plan about how many goats you will buy and how you will take care of them. No need for big experience, but training can help. The benefits are huge: you can earn steady money, create jobs for others, and make your family stronger. In places like Uttar Pradesh, many people have already started farms and are happy with the extra income.
Loan Amounts, Interest, and Subsidies
The loans come with low interest, around 7% per year, so it’s not hard to pay back. For small loans up to ₹1.6 lakh, you don’t even need to give any security. But the real good news is the subsidies. The government gives up to 50% subsidy on the cost, and for building sheds, it can be as high as 90%. This means you pay much less from your pocket. Here is a small table showing subsidies for different farm sizes:
| Number of Goats (Female + Male) | Maximum Subsidy (₹) |
|---|---|
| 100 + 5 | 10 lakh |
| 200 + 10 | 20 lakh |
| 300 + 15 | 30 lakh |
| 400 + 20 | 40 lakh |
| 500 + 25 | 50 lakh |
This table is based on the National Livestock Mission rules. With this help, starting a farm becomes very affordable.
How to Fill the Forms and Apply
Applying is simple and can be done online or at the bank. Go to the website https://nlm.udyamimitra.in, sign up, and fill the form with your name, Aadhaar number, and bank details. Upload papers like Aadhaar card, photos of your land, and a short project report. If you don’t know how, visit a nearby Common Service Center or bank branch for help. After you apply, the state office checks it, then the bank gives the loan, and subsidy comes later. Forms started on June 5, 2025, so don’t wait too long.
Why This Scheme is a Game Changer for 2025

If you dream of your own business, this is the time to act. Talk to your local bank today and start filling the form. With easy rules and big support, goat farming can change your life for the better.
